I chose Dolafon because of the excellent ratings on tripadvisor. I was looking for a hotel but chose this guest house and am glad I did. A good location in Llanberis in a beautiful old house with a lovely room and fantastic breakfast. Sandra is charming and friendly without being intrusive.

My wife and I and a friend stayed recently for the weekend whilst climbing Snowdon, The house is a lovely building with lots of character. We had an ensuite double room and the cost was £65, considering the standard of accommodation this is fantastic value. We were looked after very well by Sandra and her husband and I would thoroughly... More

My wife and I stayed at other hotel for our first night in Llanberis and it was just ok. Crap internet access and the room wasn't even clean when we checked in at 3pm. But then we changed to Dolafon and something completely different started. Sandra, the owner, makes you feel like home. Very friendly and smiley. The room is... More

My wife and I have just spent a long weekend staying at the Dolafon and I have to say you have to be impressed. Our room was excellent, well decorated and well appointed with superb views : the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in beyond none. Sandra is an absolute gem and a fine... More

We enjoyed an excellent 2-night stay in this well-located guest house on a large quiet plot in the centre of Llanberis. Despite its slightly austere appearance, it has good facilities and helpful proprietors. Our breakfast was simple but well-prepared and rapidly served. The room was spotlessly clean with TV, coffee-making facilities and free WiFi. There is adequate parking and easy... More

We stayed in Dolafon for a long weekend over Easter. It's a really nice place, with friendly owners and comfortable rooms. The owners were very accommodating, making us (a very nice) breakfast at the crack of dawn and letting us have a parcel delivered/collected. The building itself is a lovely Victorian place, but I think the heating struggled a little... More

Llanberis was a small beautiful village. We stayed 2 nights in March in a twin room, the room was very large and spotless, breakfast was amazing and Sandra was a very lovely hostess. Would recommend anyone who goes there to stay in Dolafon. One thing to keep in mind is it is difficult to get a taxi to Bangor in... More

Still absolutely fantastic! No complaints. As fabulous as before! The lovely female owner was not around this time but her son looked after us just as well. Very helpful when asking about the area. I love this place and will be returning again in August!

We stayed 2 nights in October. A great site for climbing in Llanberris pass and the snowdon area. Very clean Victorian era house with later additions of en suite bathrooms in the rooms we stayed in. No problems with warm showers for all and great local advice. Best feature - superb breakfast with fresh fruit and juice
