The Eryl Mor really could be a first choice for anyone travelling to the gorgeous Bangor and beautiful region around the town. Nestled on the banks of the Menai Straits, overlooking the old pier, this hotel trades on its location. However, unlike houses, location, location, location are not the three most important things to consider for a stay.

The room in which my wife and I were imprisoned lacked anything more than a modicum of natural light. As it turned out, the lack of light was for the best as the decoration and maintenance of the room was just awful and the less you saw of it the better. Nothing matched - an achievement in some respects given the diversity of colours on show. The bedding was neither attractive nor clean and the carpet so poorly kept that my wife refused to walk on it in her bare feet, using my shoes as impromptu slippers. Also, we had booked a double and were given a twin furnished with what are best described as cots.

A colleague of mine had visited before us and he wittily commented that his room was so depressing that he would go into the bathroom to cheer himself up. He wasn’t exaggerating. However, our bathroom had no such therapeutic value.

So the room was really bad, how about the service and food? Well, I can’t comment on the service because there was none to speak of. As for the breakfast, the warm food was cold and the cold milk, warm. The women serving were so intimidating I begged my wife not to make a fuss. For £65, I expected more than this… Come to think of it, for £20 I would have expected more than this.

Don’t stay here. Trust me, it’s bad!

I stayed at this hotel in September for a training course nearby. It was booked for me by work and I read the reviews with growing unease. The 'reception' was a cubby hole under the stairs - not a good first impression. However I was pleasantly surprised - I was given room 15 which is at the top of a narrow flight of stairs and the door looks like it should open into a cupboard. The room was gorgeous - modern, tasteful and with everything I needed. The view over the bay was spectacular.
As has been said before, the staff appear to do several jobs at once and this did cause some problems. I only got a table in the restaurant because I was a resident and argued for it (I arrived at 8pm after a 6 hour drive). I was sat at a table and then waited 20 mins for a menu, followed by another 20 mins for any sign of a waiter to take my order. They came just as I was about to give up. A group on the adjoining table seemed to be having similar problems. The food when it arrived was great - good veggie options and huge portions.
Breakfast was cold the next morning due to a power cut - and the staff tried hard to do the best they could in the circumstances. They were polite to guests but looked scruffy and sullen. Overall the customer service and the restaurant could do with attention.
One of my collagues had a bright orange room with an orange light outside her window - she felt she'd been tangoed - so if you are staying here and can manage the stairs ask for room 15!

My family and I have just returned from 2 nights at this hotel. We stayed in a family room which was of average size. It was clean and comfortable, but there was a smell that came from outside that was a little off putting. My children were thrilled with the bunk beds.
The staff were very friendly. The food was very good, breakfast was excellent with a good selection. The restaurant had a good selection and was helpful with the children's food. It was not expensive.

The views were amazing from the hotel, there were are a lot of steps to get to this hotel from the road.

I would re visit.

I booked last munute and arranged to arrive late (After midnight) but was well received.

The room was well prepared, comfortable and clean.

The Breakfast was first class and served by friendly helpful staff.

Amazed to have good such value for £30!! Will defintely stay again.
