My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, with breathtaking views of the Menai Straits and Snowdonia in the distance. The room I got was at the back of the top hotel, which wasn't the best, but the service I received from the amazing and friendly staff made up for it. The dining experience was a mix of good and bad, but overall, I'd consider staying here again for the location alone.
Rooms
5.0
The room had very old greying carpets and was very dusty behind the beds. The heating was too hot, forcing me to keep the window open wide, which wasn't ideal. It was mediocre at best.
Service

The service was excellent despite the inexperienced staff. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond. I appreciated their efforts.
Location

The hotel's location is top-notch, right on the beautiful pier overlooking the Menai Straits with Snowdonia in the background. I'd definitely recommend staying here for the views alone.
Dining

The dining experience had its highs and lows. While the food was nourishing and scenic, there was an incident where the table was covered in oil one morning, which was off-putting. It was good value overall.
Facilities

The hotel's facilities were decent, with a focus on providing a refined dining experience but lacking in maintaining cleanliness consistently.

The hotel's location offers a mix of sea views and city proximity, though the rooms gave me a sense of being in my Grandma's bedroom with clutter and dated decor. The service was hit or miss but included a nice welcome drink, and the dining was tasty but lacked a smile. Facilities were satisfactory.
Rooms

The rooms felt like my Grandma's bedroom, with clutter and dated furniture. They were on the small side and lacked a view.

The hotel overlooks the sea and offers a convenient 10-minute proximity to the High Street, combining the best of both worlds in Bangor. It's in a nice spot near the University, the pier, and shoreline.

My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms, while a bit quirky, were basic, clean but tired. The service was excellent, with the staff being extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was gorgeous, overlooking the water and Bangor pier, making it an excellent base for visiting the university or exploring Snowdon and Anglesey. The dining experience was good, especially the Indian dishes. The facilities were decent, although some areas could use a bit of updating.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but I wished I had a higher table with chairs to enjoy the view. The service was a bit hit or miss - some staff were friendly and helpful, while others seemed bothered by any request. The location was good for walking into Bangor and exploring North Wales, but a bit far from the rail and bus stations. The dining was generally okay, but one morning the food was covered in oil. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.
