I selected this hotel because it was listed in one of my guidebooks. Carpet looked nasty, bathroom was dirty, full of mold. It was so bad I decided not to take a shower. Reception told me that it was OK to leave and they would give me a refund, but at 9 PM at night, I could not find anything... more

We stayed at this hotel in September during some refurbishment work, so I am sure we did not see the place at its best. The car park was blockaded by works vans/equipment when we first arrived, although we were able to get in when we came back later in the day. We had hoped to eat in the inn at... more

Hi Maelwedd, It saddens me hear we failed to exceed your expectations at the Black Boy Inn. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. * car park was blockaded by works vans/equipment... We unreservedly apologise, it is my understanding your stay was around the time when building work was carried out to improve external access to our cellar. I believe...

Spent the afternoon in Caernarfon 04/10/09 and was looking for somwhere to eat, found the wonderful Black Boy Inn, still serving at 2:20pm. Staff were very welcoming and helpful despite it being fairly busy. Great menu and Specials Board and Sunday Roast. Food was wonderful and didn't have to wait too long. Had to recommend this pub, will certainly go... more

I loved this place. My teenage daughter and I stayed 2 nights. We stayed in a twin room not yet renovated (at the budget rate) but did get a chance to see the newly renovated rooms - beautiful. Pub was great, staff was lovely, food was so good and the prices very reasonable for the UK (roast beef, yorkshire pudding,... more

Very Friendly staff, Great location, There was some building works going on whilst we stayed, but they never bothered us. The room was a recent refurbed room and tastefully done. Our room was over front door and it could be a little noisey at night with people coming and going from the very busy bars below, also you could be... more

A group of friends and I recently stayed at the black boy inn on a mountain climbing trip to Snowdonia and it was an excellent experience. We stayed in room 23, which had recently been refurbished and was up to good 4* standard, let alone that of an inn. We had a large 42 inch plasma screen and brand new... more

The newly refurbished bedrooms are spacious and nicely decorated although the ongoing refurb means that the whole place smels of paint and you have to negotiate the builders junk to get to you room for now. A lively pub full of real Cofi (Caernarfon) character - so why are they promoting a Full English instead of a Welsh breakfast and... more
