Clean room & Friendly staff
Old (antic) furniture, missing pieces from bathroom, noisy fan in the bathroom. Window... that is not an window, couldn't keep the rain out, it was windy outside and inside, the window isn't fit for purpose. Everything was low quality. The owner invested a penny maybe 10 years ago in that room.

wonderful stay
comfortable, clean, nice views around, amazing location, just down from the hotel there is a Snowdonia slate trail. Also the pub the hotel has delicious local beers which are great to enjoy after hiking all day long. The hotel has a long history dating back to 14th century

Great stay!
Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area.
Great place for dog owners.

Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.

Location was good for stay near Snowdonia national park. Room was cosy with the essentials needed after a days hiking.
Unfortunately there was a party occurring downstairs and found the noise travelled. We also didn’t receive a breakfast

There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot.
I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!

Warm Room, Cool Views 🗻
I had a great stay at Y Pengwern Hotel. The room was super cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home - perfect for winding down after a day out. I really appreciated the extra heaters they provided—perfect if you like the room toasty and warm.
The view from the window was absolutely stunning. It looked right out over the mountains, and catching the sunrise and sunset from there made the whole trip feel even more special.
The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. I’d happily stay there again!

Have no expectations when booking this hotel…
No hot water , had a cold shower, after hiking all day, even after reporting it 3 times. They could not swap the room as the water in there was also cold. Poor cleaning, poor breakfast choices and services. Worktop in the bar area was sticky. Nice location.

The overall stay was good very helpful and friendly staff and locals too. But I got an email to inform me about they don’t do breakfast any more. This was not their fault, but it was sent too late for me to cancel and rebook anywhere else and get a full refund. Any chance of some money back from hotels. Com at all?

Checked in and was greeted by friendly staff. Room was in much need of a refurbishment. Everything was quite run down. No hot water so had a cold shower, luckily it was the hottest day of the year. The window wouldn’t shut and the curtain let in all the light so prepare to be awake from 430am in the summer.
Room aside it’s a lovely community pub, we stayed for food which was really nice and had beers in the sun in the beer garden. All staff friendly and check out easy.
Overall - would recommend if rooms had a bit of an upgrade!

Nothing really around but , it’s above a pub. Small carpark and if you come back after 6 you will struggle to park. Shower was temperamental and we asked for more milk but didn’t get this until after we’re asleep. It was left outside the room. The free breakfast is a small continental breakfast. Neither the less, still nice. You can buy a full breakfast. If you’re looking to Climb Snowdon, which we did, it’s a good 45 minute drive away. But if you want to get your head down, it’s the place to stay.
