A simple place to stay, a bit stuffy and need vacuum cleaning and painting, it should be totally be refurbished inj my eyes. The room was big, the bed was huge but the matrass sagging on both sides so if you dont hold on to each other or lay in the middle you tend to roll off the bed. The... More

We stayed at Menai Bank Hotel for three nights because it offered all the things we  wanted in our accommodation. We were met by Rachel who cheerfully told us to leave our car in the drive if no spaces were available in the parking area. Although the car park was frequently full it never caused a problem. We had booked... More

We needed a place to beak our journey en route to the Holyhead ferry. This was an ideal stopping off point just 30/40 minutes easy driving next morning. The hotel is situated opposite Morrisons and not off the main road through Caernarfon for Bangor. The bed was very comfortable, the room clean and a refreshment tray provided. Bath/shower, good breakfast,... More

Arrived earlier than planned on 13th April to be greeted with a warm friendly welcome by Rachel. We were offered a room with a sea view and the biggest, most comfortable bed ever!!! (Room 22) The room was warm, clean and quite large with plenty of space. We met Patrick on our way out for the afternoon and he was... More

I am not someone who usually breakfasts, but was looking forward to the breakfast here, having read other reviews. I was disappointed, and do not understand why it should be billed as the best breakfast in Wales. With that description I expected something out of the ordinary, smoked salmon, croissants, a selection of breads and cheeses perhaps. In fact, the... More

Thank you for your helpful review. You are correct Smoked Salmon is not on the Breakfast menu! Selection of breads (usually White,Wholemeal and a seeded brown)and various cheese as well as yougurts and juices and a variety of jams are always available from the buffet.. For practical reasons just one jam pot and one marmalade pot are put on the... More

What a great find, warm welcome, lovely room, excellent breakfast, great bar service. The views from the hotel across the Menai Straits are lovely, if the weather had been better would have been brilliant. On arrival booked in and after a rather long day, headed straight to the bar for a well deserved drink for my husband. The room was... More

We stayed here in September 2011 on North Wales rideout 1 nighter. Sadly not all of us made it to Caernarfon...... Patrick the owner was very ubderstandable and didn't charge us for the unused rooms. Had a great stay here and will be staying again. Many thanks Russell ( Swansea)

Myself and two friends stay here each winter for climbing holidays, and are always delighted with the place and the service. It is in a great location for walking or exploring, and the owners couldn't be more helpful. The breakfasts are very good, and they have a well-stocked bar with some fine whiskeys amongst others. Parking is free and easy,... More
