Best part of stay cooked breakfast

I found the welcome avange, the room spaceage but dark. Nothing special about the deco, the bed was comfortable. We paid extra £15 each for breakfast. Well worth it, restaurant nice, service and food very good. I did feel pressured to book breakfast, I walked away then came back. Pleased I did.

Fabulous stay!

All the staff at the Royal Oak couldn’t have done anything more to help us during our stay. From advising us how to get to Pen-Y-Pass, which routes to take up Snowdon and where is good to eat. The food was great and a good range of options for all on the menu. Hotel itself is a little tired and could do with decorating in some places but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to do Snowdon again (which is likely) and would recommend it to others as well.

An OK place to stay in Betws y Coed

We stayed in one of the Stable lodges in the annexe. It was ok adjacent to the main hotel. Breakfast was good but expensive. It is an ok place to stay.

A delightful hotel, at once both old-fashioned and modern. A very pleasant Reception and an excellent restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Slept well in a very comfortable room - (although I would have liked one 'soft' pillow). And all in all the hotel was central to a very pleasant weekend.

First class friendly service, excellent food in the attached bar, plus breakfast in the hotel dining room. Great location and parking. Room, and particularly the bathroom, in need of updating.

Great hotel with friendly staff. The restaurant severed high quality food. Location is good and Betws-Y-Coed is a great place to stay in. The hotel in places is a bit tired but kept very clean and tidy. Our room was beautiful. We stayed in the deluxe double room. Again slightly tired in places and shower could do with a new shower head, aside from that I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.
