It’s pretty dated. But a good location. And got a good nights sleep. Requested a early breakfast as had to be out early and this was done. Lovely breakfast. Good poached eggs. Staff helpful and friendly.

Would like to write and say this was a lovely hotel - but in all honesty, I can't! It looks impressive from the outside, but once inside, it all changes. It is a very old hotel and hasn't managed to keep up with the modern pace. The man that was on reception was very pleasant and helpful, but this didn't make up for the room once I was inside. The first thing I noticed was the stains on the carpet! There were two or three of these in different areas! The next thing was some mould around the bath edges. When I went to put the bedside light on, the top came away - it had broken at the wire frame -and just put back on the top, balancing precariously! The room I was in was at the front of the building, and being on the main road, was quite noisy until after midnight. The bed itself was quite comfortable, and I had a reasonable nights sleep. Breakfast was fine, although I had to go to reception to get the owner before I could order. One strange thing was the fruit juice was in bottles - Britvic by brand, and I have never had that in a hotel before at breakfast. The food was O.K. and seemed to be freshly prepared. There as a problem with the C.C. device, but this was rectified, in a fashion, by the time I left. I would love to say it was all fine, but unfortunately, too many little niggles, let it down. It would need quite a lot of time and money spending to bring it back to its former glory. Steeped in history, it would be magnificent once again if this was done. I don't think I would stay there again, but I do hope they can turn the place around.
The room was spacious and although on the main A5 was peaceful at night. The staff were friendly and the food good but the smell of damp throughout was the main complaint together with the dated decoration.
We wanted somewhere we could be in striking distance of Holyhead for the next day early ferry.
The Hotel is convenient from this point of view and has its own car park not far away.
It could be cleaner, and is a little tired, but the people were friendly and breakfast was very good.
Only one issue, apart from cleanliness, was the smokers block the main entrance and their fumes enter the bedrooms above. Not nice!
To be honest, it probably need Glyndwr himself to come and shake this lot up. It has massive potential, situated on the main A5 road through the village, and has history coming out of the wood work, but it fails to live up.
The bar saves this from being a 2 star rating, plenty of real ale, although a little pricey.
This hotel dates back a long time and whilst I knew it may have some kind of old smell to it, at times it was so overpowering. The damp smell of the furniture in the living room area was really bad. I couldn't eat my breakfast the next morning as the smell knocked me sick although it did look very appetising. The staff were friendly and very accommodating but the smell put me off.
