Stay at sportsmans Porthmadog

Room was clean, bed was really comfortable, slept really well,a little warm as radiators were on but a fan is provided, staff were really friendly, breakfast is excellent but the time slot of 07:30-09:30 is a little early, parking is really good with a roof above which stops any seagull mess👍…. Overall an excellent place to stay

Fine for a night

Bar, breakfast, restaurant are lovely. Staff are friendly. Room was very clean. Location was great. Free parking on site. We were staying in the patio rooms which had one window looking into an indoor patio area. For me felt a bit claustrophobic as no window on the outside. Pipes are loud. Was fine for one night but wouldn't want to have stayed longer.

Needs a refresh in places

Hotel feels tired and has a not so great smell. Bathroom really cramped. Room wasn’t serviced as requested, but reception friendly and helpful. Doors banging shut made the walls wobble and can hear other gets on the phone etc… Parking is a real squeeze, but at least they have some. Bed was comfy.
