“The vibe here is spot-on, a classic pub mixing with modern, spotless rooms, and those little extras-like the biscuits and spare toothbrush-make a real difference; the food is also a highlight, especially if you like Thai. You'll find a warm welcome from the staff and locals alike, which makes it a great base for exploring the surrounding area. It's a gem.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Y Gwydyr Hotel is often praised for its beautifully decorated and generously sized rooms, complete with a full packet of biscuits, good quality toiletries, and Netflix access, with some rooms also offering great views. Guests frequently enjoy the delicious Thai cuisine prepared by Nanthip, especially the red and green curries, as well as the superb full Welsh breakfast. While most find the location ideal, some guests have noted the hotel's proximity to a road with occasional motorcycle traffic. guests find this traditional Welsh pub a memorable and homely experience, with easy access to the train station, a Spar shop across the road and walks to Capel Curig.
