The location is fantastic. Located right next to the castle and only a few yards from multiple restaurants and pubs. There is no parking at the hotel; however, there is a large public carpark directly behind the hotel that only charges ÂŁ6.00+ for 24htr parking. What a deal!

This hotel has absolutely NO food. No restaurant or breakfast. The advertising is misleading. Luckily, there are multiple coffee shops close by. Downside...they don't open until 9:00 a.m. So, if you are in need of an early morning meal you are out of luck. Another issue is that NO staff are in the hotel overnight. This was not explained to us upon check-in so we did not know how to check-out the next morning. The only option we had was to drop our room keys thru the letterbox of the pub. You will not be provided a check-out receipt because there are no staff on the premises (this was at 9:00 a.m.).

The location is excellent although there is no parking at the hotel but there is plenty of car parks close by. You can park close by after 4.30pm until 8am for free and there are cheaper car parks than behind the castle if you look around even some free parking 24\7 if your lucky enough to get a space. There is no option for a breakfast but Wetherspoons is only 5 minute walk away.

The bar is open late Friday Saturday and Sunday up to 2am with loud music and karaoke so unless you are taking part you can be kept awake especially if you have a room above the bar. Would of liked breakfast included but didn't ruin my stay. I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location. Plenty of free parking within walking distance if you bother to look around. You can park almost anywhere after 5pm until morning. The castle is right next door. The views are amazing.

The only downside I can think is the fact that the kettle had to be put on the floor to use as the lead wouldn’t reach from anywhere else. Worth putting up with for everything else. They don’t do breakfast but there is a Wetherspoons 5 minutes away.

Very friendly staff and check in was very easy. They said if I needed anything I was just to ask, Biscoff bicke's were a nice touch to ave with my coffee&there was deecaff. The room was great, blackout curtains,own shower and toilet with shower help, shampoo etc. TV and bed was clean with plenty of pillows&towels for the shower. It was well situated with a shop right next door& plenty of others. I was allowed to bring food back to my room&was not pressured into eating in their restaurant downstairs. I would highly recommend if you are looking to go somewhere where they don't babysit you but are more than willing to help if you need them too

I arrived to a friendly welcome from the bar staff. After a quick check-in, I was taken to my room and given a quick explanation about the keys. My room was clean and nicely decorated with a fantastic view over Afon Seiont. The bar was lively and a bit noisy, but I was warned about that, so it wasn't an issue.

Some of the decoration was a bit worn, but this didn't detract from my stay. Sadly, the hotel had suffered from a fire on the day before I arrived, so there was no food available. However, being in the centre of Caernarfon meant that there was plenty of choices to be found.

The room was very clean and the staff was very nice. They let us store our bags after check out so we could go see the castle which was very appreciated!! It was very close to a lot of wonderful local restaurants and had one on-site as well. It was an absolute pleasure staying here.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Stayed quite a few times as location is ideal. No food options but 'Spoons is only 5 mins walk away for a breakfast.

Rooms starting to look a little tired now but it's clean enough. We were warned that on a Saturday night it can get a bit frisky and the music and loud chattering outside continued beyond 2am.

Loved the location (close to castle and WHR) and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable, but the muggy weather during our stay made it little difficult to sleep. Would definitely recommend to others.

As mentioned, the muggy weather made things a little uncomfortable. Just realised I should have checked the closet - noticed there was a heater in there, maybe there was a fan, too.

Clean, comfortable and next to Caernarfon Castle in the centre of the town. Plenty of places to eat and drink close by.

Staff not overly friendly, and no help was offered though I am visibly disabled and had to climb stairs with my walker. Couldn't contact the property prior to arrival.
