    Hotel doesn't match price we paid, the hotel really needs updating, furniture is tired and the bath didn't work in the room. Dusty smells around.

    Rooms were very tired, major repair and decorating going on in the hotel . Staff were friendly but quite distant , didn’t seem to be very professional at times. Room was freezing cold heating in room was not working, we were given a portable heater to use which wasn’t perfect but took the chill off the room .

    Great location , easy parking.

    Hotel needs a major refurbishment, our bedroom window did not close properly, and the radiator did not work; which meant the room was very cold. The bathroom wasn't very clean, with their being hairs on the toilet seat, and marks all over the shower wall. There were marks of previous water damage on the bedroom wall, coffee stains on the floor, and the furniture in the room was falling apart.

    Food was surprisingly good, breakfast selection was also very good. Location is excellent and very close to all major trails of Snowdon. Hotel outside looks very nice and attractive. Staff were also very attentive and polite

    The bar closing at 9.45, then being told 5 minutes later that we had to finish our drinks in the bedrooms as they were locking up for the night! The whole hotel is very dated and badly in need of full renovation. The staff all seen fairly new, and pretty clueless as to what's going on. Breakfast, although very nice, unfortunately didn't start until about 8.15, which isn't great if you're planning a day's hiking.

    Location. Clean rooms. Excellent food.

    Our recent stay at the Royal Goat Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. Despite the ongoing refurbishment, which the owners are diligently working on, the warm welcome we received from the hosts set the tone for our stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted with genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. The hotel's need for refurbishment is apparent in some areas, but it only adds to its unique character. We could see the potential for future beauty, and it didn't detract from our overall enjoyment. Our room was cozy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. It was spotlessly clean, a testament to the hosts' commitment to guest comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast experience. Each morning, we were treated to a freshly made breakfast with a wide array of choices to suit every taste. The quality of the food and the care in its preparation were evident, and it provided a delightful start to our day. Throughout our stay, the hosts were exceptionally accommodating, always ready to assist with any request or offer recommendations for local attractions. Their warm and welcoming nature truly made our visit memorable. As we left the Royal Goat Hotel, we did so with a sense of gratitude for the warm welcome, a promise to return, and the anticipation of witnessing the ongoing refurbishment's progress. Despite the renovations, this charming establishment, complete with its delicious breakfast, offers a unique and heartwarming experience that's hard to find elsewhere. We eagerly look forward to our next stay.

    Unfortunately there wasn't any ventilation for this very hot weather we are having in September. But they did offer a fan which helped a little.

    A lot of edges were dusty …e,g. Ledges in downstairs main toilet. (Not just overnight dust) Dust on the bottom ledges of the grandfather clock in the reception hall.

    All staff were friendly. Needed to leave by 08.15 so only able to have continental breakfast which had nn excellent choice. All 8 of my party had evening meal with excellent comments about the standard of the food.

    The restaurant menu is limited and could be improved The car park is opposite the hotel on the other side of the road. there is a dangerous blind spot for vehicles travelling out of beddgelert. care is necessary, a strategically position domed mirror on the hotel side would aid negotiating the road crossing.

    this is my 2nd stay this year, Very friendly staff at the Royal Goat. I've now tried two rooms and both are comfortable. Breakfast is very good and plentiful.
