The hotel's rooms were a bit dated and needed refurbishment, some were small and old, but mine was very clean, big enough, and comfortable. The lovely staff and excellent location made my stay enjoyable, despite the room conditions.

The hotel had decent cabaret and bingo in the evening, but having to pay £3.00 per day for a parking ticket was a major disadvantage.

The hotel is situated at the rear of the hotel, which was exactly what we requested and surpassed our expectations. The dining experience was horrible and of poor quality, but the location is the best for anyone going to Llandudno, right on the pier and overlooking the sea.

My stay at the hotel was a complete disappointment. The rooms were filthy and not suitable for staying, full of old facilities, and far from clean. It was not worth the high price I paid; a total rip-off. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with staff being very helpful and friendly.

The hotel had a prime location with a full view of the sweeping bay, but the approach was marred by rubble. The rooms were tired and dated, with a musty smell upon entering. The dining options were really limited with poor quality offerings.

The hotel's location is superb, with great views and close to town shops and restaurants. The rooms, although very basic, are enjoyable, but they urgently need updating. The service was pleasant and helpful, especially during the check-in process. The dining experience was satisfactory, with consistently fresh offerings, but some improvements could be made. The carpet throughout the hotel needs attention, while the views across the bay are exceptional.

The hotel had amazing views at all times, but the rooms were a bit cramped, with a double and a single bed in a twin room. The view of the inner courtyard wasn't to my liking.

The hotel is situated at the end of the pier, offering a spectacular view of the sea and the Great Orme from the bed. However, it is next to a queue with many people passing closely while eating.

The hotel is in need of a complete renovation, giving off a vibe that nothing has changed since the 70s. The location offers a fantastic view but lacks in modern amenities.
