Great life find

A great find and amazing value for money for the single room available for my stay. The only downside is the nearness of the north Wales mainline train service, if you are a light sleeper. I was conscious of a passing train at around 0530 but went back to sleep. Food was excellent - both dinner and breakfast.

Great stay! Excellent location!

Everything was great! Nothing bad to point out. If I had to nit pick, I'd say the "Rock" keyrings are a bit bulky to carry in your trousers. Apart from that nothing else, the Staff was really friendly!

We stayed here last year and we were impressed with this hotel. Our recent stay, did not disappoint- friendly staff, comfortable, clean room and excellent meal with great service. This hotel is a perfect stop over if you have an early ferry the next day, as it is only 25 minutes from the port

The Slate Hote

From the start Staff were very friendly rooms are clean and well appointed. The food menu choice was excellent to the point it was difficult to choose a dish. The food was well cooked and presented with a decent portion for a change. The fact that so many locals were eating there showed their reputation for good food was well known On the whole great value and I hope I will get a chance to stay again

Very nice if you like trains

Nice hotel but too close to the train tracks. Maybe they should provide earplugs in the rooms. Everything was nice but it’s hard to sleep undisturbed.

Good, but the chef's music ruined it

Check in: friendly, professional and easy. Room: clean, nicely done, comfortable with a beautiful view, though the railway line right next to the room wasn't mentioned. Trains were infrequent and not a problem noise-wise though. All was good until 7.30am on Sunday morning when the chef's need to listen to the radio is obviously seen as more important than allowing Guests to enjoy their night's sleep. The thumping bass and muted singing coming up into the room meant 7.30 was when our sleep was over. Breakfast: You have to pre-order what you want and what time you want it! Really? As it turned out we asked for breakfast at 9am, but we could have had it much earlier as we were awake from 7.30am with the music. What happened to being able to choose what you want to eat (and when you want to eat it) based on how you feel in the morning? The full cooked was very tasty. My daughter's bacon sandwich was very plain though, made with basic sliced white bread. Unfortunately the music blaring from the kitchen clashed with the different music coming from the speakers in the dining room making for a very non-relaxing breakfast experience. We had to ask for butter to go with the toast, but by the time the cold, hard butter came, the toast was also cold so spreading it was challenging. Overall this is nice place, in a great setting and the room was lovely, but our experience in the morning with the music and some aspects of the breakfast service took the edge off our stay.

Hotel looks good but experience not so good

Arrived just too late to order food so ordered on just eat. When it was delivered, the owner (Male) happened to be near the entrance when i went down stairs to collect. He immediately stated that i wasnt allowed to eat in my room and that i would have to eat downstairs with everyone else which i definitely didnt want to do. I ended up pleading with him to let me eat in my room stating that id been on the road from 8am that morning and it was now 8.30 at night and i was shattered and far from feeling sociable. I even said id eat on the floor so not to get anything on the bed sheets. He eventually gave in and asked what room i was in, presumably so he could check it personally in the morning. He insinuated if there were any stains on the bed sheets or anywhere else, i would be charged but by this time i just agreed as all i wanted to do was get to my room and eat my long awaited dinner. To add to this, i had to phone down to ask to put the heating on as radiators were stone cold, ridiculous as we were in the middle of winter! To be fair, the lady was helpful and polite, especially compared to her male colleague who'd to be honest, made me feel very uncomfortable. There were Christmas parties going on down stairs, understandable due to time of year but no sound proofing in rooms, meant it was quite noisy and far from relaxing. When the bar closed i expected it to quieten down but then tables were screeched and staff were lol. Definitely wouldn't recommend ill not stay again 😔
