YHA - accommodation in Penrhyndeudraeth

The location for Celtic Royal Hotel/Spa was fantastic in terms of walking distance to the sites in the town. There are not many options in this area in terms of hotels but this one covered the basics. The rooms could use serious updating and better heat control. The shower pressure was fantastic and the athletic facilities (workout spaces, pool, jacuzzi) were all top notch. I wish there were more fresh fruit options at breakfast but the other options were all well done.

I’m extremely fussy and very particular, however I thought this hotel was absolutely lovely! The majority of staff were great, the food was wonderful and it was clean, comfortable, homely and had a really nice ambience. I’ve knocked a star off for little things like tiny plates for breakfast (what’s that all about?), crumbs were still all over our floor after the room had been cleaned, the floor to the shower was lethally slippy, the breakfast wasn’t kept hot (luke warm at best), and the coffee was revolting (You’re missing out on a trick there …… imagine if you invested in a PROPER coffee machine and cakes - you’d make a killing)! Not overly impressed at being charged £25 per person (as a guest) to use the pool/spa. However, none of the above detracted from a lovely stay. We’d definitely stay here again.

All very good indeed. Comfortable and clean room, with good upkeep throughout my stay. A perfect location overlooking the town, beautiful Edwardian buildings in the Arts and Crafts style, fine views from my windows. Excellent breakfasts, served from 7.30 onwards for those wanting an early start. Staff friendly and helpful. And amazing value for money all round.
