Beautiful hotel, friendly staff who couldn't do enough. Hotel has been modernised, with a lovely restaurant yet retains its original character. Perfectly positioned on the promenade with a small carpark at the back with easy access to the rear entrance of the hotel itself. Will definitely book again.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this hotel. It was a great choice. Brilliant location with great views of the seafront from our sea view room. Decor and furnishings are excellent. Staff very professional and food is superb. Probably the only downside is limited on site parking. Very hard to find fault with this hotel.

I rarely score down hotels but I'm afraid this was not a good place. The room was ridiculously hot. Must be near main hot water pipes or something. Hot to the point of not being able to sleep and the window couldn't be opened more than a crack because of a security strap. Decorating was in progress. Breakfast was pretty standard and a very meagre continental spread. Some staff were clearly new to the job. I had to wait for ten minutes for someone to come to reception to check out. The shower ran hot and cold. One of the wall lights in the room was flickering and dying.Nice view though.

If I could rate this hotel 10 stars I would! Fabulous location, the beach is on your doorstep, lovely rooms and even better staff! We had a sea room view and it was beautiful. Staff were so accommodating and friendly, our 4 year old daughter is on medication and they allowed us to keep it in their fridges which was very helpful. Rooms were spotless and the bedding was clean. Thank you so much, will definitely be booking this hotel again when we next come to Llandudno. Xx
