The room were we stayed in was 114 and next to the kitchen so the smell was not so good, plus they were very nosey when starting there shift waking me up,,the pillows were a very low standard so I'd say bring your own,my single bed was like sleeping on a ironing board, not for me so didn't sleep well, and they could do with a sign for the hot water to say it hot as it was very,the food and staff excellent, but they don't make beds so don't expect them to be made,and possibly could do with a fridge

I did volunteering at UTS and this hotel was just about 3 minutes walk from the event. I booked it last minute, the price was OK and it included breakfast, too.

A great stay

Very comfortable place to stay, near the town centre of Llanberis, ways to Snowdon, the Slate Museum (closed temporarily, unfortunately), and local souvenir shops. The hotel inside was perfect. I wish I could enjoy dinner there, but I didn't have chance. That must be great, too. Somehow, the price was reasonable.

I arrived several hours before check-in & was allowed to park on site early. I stayed the night before a big race and had to be up at 3am. As there were a number of guests doing the same race, the Hotel laid on a special continental breakfast for us from 2am - 4am, which was really thoughtful of them, and very much appreciated. Room, cleanliness, quietness was all great.

Beautiful hotel in prime location

Fabulous stay at a beautiful hotel. Food was very good, we had bar meals and a massive selection for breakfast. Rooms quiet and well appointed. We stayed in the single rooms , although small they are very comfy and suited our requirements. They were a bit warm though, other guests also commented on this. I'm not sure what they would be like if we had really warm weather. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Hotel is well situated for the Snowdon Railway , Caernarfon and other popular places around the Snowdonia National Park. Plenty of parking. Planning on coming back soon.

Best way to describe the hotel is an Old hotel with an inefficient design, the staff were amazingly nice and helpful. The Eyri Longue staff included. Its situated perfectly for anyone who is doing Snowdon by foot or train. With the main bus interchange outside giving you access to Bangor and the rest of north Wales. Few things need repairing and modernizing. USB ports in the room being the main one.
