Had a 2 day break from the 14th to the 16th of May on an all inclusive basis at this hotel and it was difficult to find faults (that matter) with it. Reception was smooth and quick with pleasant staff. We had a room on the 3rd floor (301) and you need 2 lifts to get there but no waiting... More

Stayed at this hotel for one night last weekend and found that it provided excellent value for money. The hotel is clean and the staff are efficient. Comments from other members concerning faded decoration and so on are valid BUT please keep in mind that this is a 3 star hotel and not The Ritz!!

OK with a three star hotel you may not expect the earth but one thing you should get is cleanliness. Fluff in the wardrobe, fluff and rubbish behind the bedside cabinet, hairs and general grime at the edges of the bathroom floor. The rather gloomy cramped bedroom needed to be deep cleaned and redecorated to bring it up to date.

The 1850's hotel is in need of a little TLC in the main reception rooms and communal areas. We stayed for one night for a short walking break. The room was compact but spotlessly clean and had obviously been refurbished. It was quite near the main staircase and were woken at 4.am by people (staff?) running up and down. Breakfast... More

I stayed at the Royal Victoria hotel at the beginning of March. I was looking for some accommodation in the area to do a charity bike ride around Snowdon. I wanted somewhere reasonably priced and convenient. This fitted the bill perfectly. I booked two single rooms at £21 per night, including breakfast. I thought this was amazing value. The room...

Whilst the decor is definitely dated, the location of the hotel is fantastic - especially if you're taking a trip up Snowdon. The staff were all friendly and the buffet breakfast was okay. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we had all the facilities we needed - plus a fantastic view up over the mountains. All-in-all, for £44 B&B... More

I came to the Royal Victoria in 2007 for a Society dinner so when I needed to stay in Llanberis I knew it was a good place to stay. The place looks so dated the moment you step through the reception but I was told the rooms were clean and modern. I wasn't disappointed with the room itself but it... More
