Padarn Hotel

Everything was stressful, unhygienic, and...

Liked: Only the location near the steam train — that’s the reason we booked.
Disliked: Very disappointed with Padarn Hotel. Upon arrival, the shower was not draining properly. When we reported this, the manager refused to offer another room and instead told us to use a public shower despite us paying £170 per night and travelling with a 2-month-old baby. At 11 PM, staff even suggested we leave if we weren’t happy but where can we possibly go with a baby at that time of night? The room also had bugs flying around, making the stay uncomfortable and unhygienic. The owner was not helpful at all, and Booking.com provided no support when we raised the complaint.

On the whole UTs a...

Liked: The property is in good location and by the river/ lake . Got nice restaurant’s nearby and good place for a walk and stroll
Disliked: We like the property but find price a bit beyond our price range . We did it as a one off only . Will not book it as a regular basis. For that price , we would have expected for breakfast to be included but UTs not so we’d rather drive to Pothmadog and have Costa instead - haha. But UTs not so we’d big deal.

Great location and friendly staff

Liked: The staff and location were excellent. Good base for hiking Snowdon. The hotel restaurant serves a good breakfast and lunch. They are dog friendly as well.
Disliked: The rooms are a little dated. But it was comfortable and was good for what we needed.

Good

Let down by dirtiness

Liked: The location is brilliant and the food (breakfast and dinner) was good.
Disliked: However, our family room was dirty and dusty. The children's bedsheets had all sorts of dirt and hair on them. We did not realise this until late at night when it was too late to ask the cleaner to come and sort it so we all squished into the adults bed together as that seemed ok. The TV remote control looked like it had never been cleaned, shower tray was dirty, and there was thick dust visible by the desk.The sheer curtain in the bathroom is inadequate if you're using the bathroom after dark. Passers-by could see in.We paid a lot for the room, plus extra for the breakfast so were not impressed by the lack of cleanliness. It was a convenient but not very comfortable stay...
