Friendly, Good enough to stay for 5 days.Welcoming,lovely people at the hotel.The weather is the issue.it has been raining on and off.We are thankful for the good service.Thank you!
Really good service from the moment we arrived.
Offered to dry our soggy clothes from a snowdon trip and also kept the bar open as long as we wanted on the night.
Will definitely be back!
We had a very pleasant stay. Helen was very helpful and the food was great as well.

You’re welcome that you receive isn’t the friendliest the rooms are very dated but that’s fine but we stayed above the kitchen and all we heard till 11-12 at night was banging of doors and load talking
Elen’s Castle Hotel proved to be the perfect place for a few days away in Wales. The Hotel was clean, tidy, Covid safe, welcoming and comfortable. The staff were very friendly! The food from the restaurant was amazing! There was a good choice and between us, a family of four and we ate there both nights we were there, every course was perfect! We will definitely be back - thank you!

Adequate but tired decor, with exception to the dining room which has been freshened up
Really enjoy our stay. My dad and I really enjoyed ourselves and was very impressed with how well the hotel was ran, especially with COVID 19. Great staff who were very welcoming and we will definitely stay here again. All round great hotel and very greatful for the information given about climbing snowdon. Thank you.
Stayed there for a night with family, everything was as described.

Sorry. Not too impressed....
Accommodation was spacious and had all one would expect, however, in terms of value-for-money we were somewhat disappointed. Breakfast was okay, but limited, and the timing surprisingly restricted - 8-9 a.m. And no boiled eggs!!!
