Across recent reviews of Royal Oak Hotel, travellers praise the friendly, helpful staff, central Betws y Coed location, and good food and breakfasts, while noting very warm rooms without air conditioning and occasional noise from bars or nearby roads.
Many rooms are comfortable and sometimes spacious, though several feel dated and report maintenance issues such as weak or faulty showers. Cleanliness is usually strong, with a few remarks about musty corridors or dust and cobwebs in places. Facilities are practical, with easy parking but no elevator and bars that close around 10 pm. Expect a traditional base suited to exploring Snowdonia.

Great location, lots of food options for evening meals though the Stable area was packed both evenings we were there but still managed to find a couple of seats and food arrived quickly. Comfortable hotel and beds, friendly staff. Great location for walking. Helpful staff in the Tourist Information centre for local walk maps. Though there was lots of parking spaces, it was very busy in the evening which meant driving around a bit. Very good breakfasts. Would definitely go back.

Lovely old building in the heart of a really lovely picturesque Welsh village. I had a superior double room facing out the front of the facing on tot he little river and park. There is a lively bar next door. It shuts up arounf 10.00-10.30pm though , so there is no night time noise to be worried about at night. Staff at reception were very welcoming and very informative. I passed this place on a trip about a month ago and vowed I would stay there sometime.....that sometime came sooner than I thought. It's a countryside hotel, it suits the locale.

Everything was lovely and clean and staff we're very polite. The bedside light didn't work in room 109 so had to get out of bed to put the light on and off The bar unfortunately closed at 10pm and being sat outside we didn't hear last orders just before we were going to get our last drink for the night so had to walk uo the road to another pub thay was still open. Would definitely stay there again

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room on the front of the hotel was spacious and well equipped with a pleasant view, albeit with a little road noise if the windows were open. Parking is conveniently just across the road or round the back. The breakfast menu had a wide choice and the cooked food was to a high standard. Whilst there are a number of restaurants and pubs in Betws, we ate in the hotel each evening partly for convenience, but mainly due to the range of food available and its quality. My wife and I were celebrating a milestone birthday and the hotel team nicely delivered a couple of treats that our daughter had pre-arranged. My marking down of the hotel's eco-friendliness was because the towels were changed each day.

We had a very good stay at the Royal Oak Hotel. The staff were very professional and were very helpful. The room was adequate and clean. The breakfast was very good and had a nice selection to choose from the menu. The hotel is centralized and near to many attractions. Overall we had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.

Stayed here for a couple of nights to climb Snowden. Very convenient location for that. The best thing about this hotel is the staff: all of them without exception were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was clean and warm. We had a room at the front, on a main road, but the double glazing was fantastic, and the room was quiet. this isn't a boutique hotel, but it really got the job done!

The hotel in places is a bit tired but kept very clean and tidy. Our room was beautiful. We stayed in the deluxe double room. Again slightly tired in places and shower could do with a new shower head, aside from that I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

We stayed at the Royal Oak for the last three nights of a two week vacation. The bedroom pictures make the hotel look more upscale than it is. We were not in the main building but in rooms that go over and across the parking area. The cons- It was rather humid and stuffy but there were no fans and the windows did not open fully, which was uncomfortable. It was clean, but felt more like an American motel, not hotel, which was disappointing.We were in a room about the outdoor restaurant which was noisy and didn’t close until 10 pm. The pros- The restaurant was quite good, the staff was friendly, and they served delicious full breakfast. I had higher expectations of the Royal Oak, so overall I feel disappointed.

Overpriced and disappointing. I’d been looking forward to staying here for sometime. Strange layout for a period property, half old half Travelodge. I paid £170 for a club room which was dated and in hindsight just too much compared to other hotels. The shower was ancient and it didn’t work, no shower gel provided, no fridge. Dirty glasses in the bar. A real shame - swerve this one

We had a very good stay at the Royal Oak Hotel. The staff were very professional and were very helpful. The room was adequate and clean. The breakfast was very good and had a nice selection to choose from the menu. The hotel is centralized and near to many attractions. Overall we had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.

Stayed here for a couple of nights to climb Snowden. Very convenient location for that. The best thing about this hotel is the staff: all of them without exception were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was clean and warm. We had a room at the front, on a main road, but the double glazing was fantastic, and the room was quiet. this isn't a boutique hotel, but it really got the job done!

We had a lovely stay in Betws-y-coed and the hotel made the stay really relaxing. They are friendly and helpful and the hotel is really central. We are looking forward to booking to go again soon.

First class friendly service, excellent food in the attached bar, plus breakfast in the hotel dining room. Great location and parking. Room, and particularly the bathroom, in need of updating.

Overpriced superior room with a shower that I couldn't get to work and a sink that was blocked. Food in the restaurant was limited and breakfast choice for people who don't want a cooked meal was pretty limited. Restaurant trying to please all clients by offering a mix of everything other than normal food which is not spiced, full of lentils, noodles and vegan. Disappointed especially as it wasn't cheap.

We stayed in one of the Stable lodges in the annexe. It was ok adjacent to the main hotel. Breakfast was good but expensive. It is an ok place to stay.

The hotel has a lot of character and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had evening dinner which was disappointing. Breakfast was good but please provide muesli. We would certainly stay again but would probably sample a restaurant elsewhere for dinner if one were available.

Great location, lots of food options for evening meals though the Stable area was packed both evenings we were there but still managed to find a couple of seats and food arrived quickly. Comfortable hotel and beds, friendly staff. Great location for walking. Helpful staff in the Tourist Information centre for local walk maps. Though there was lots of parking spaces, it was very busy in the evening which meant driving around a bit. Very good breakfasts. Would definitely go back.

We stayed at the Royal Oak for the last three nights of a two week vacation. The bedroom pictures make the hotel look more upscale than it is. We were not in the main building but in rooms that go over and across the parking area. The cons- It was rather humid and stuffy but there were no fans and the windows did not open fully, which was uncomfortable. It was clean, but felt more like an American motel, not hotel, which was disappointing.We were in a room about the outdoor restaurant which was noisy and didn’t close until 10 pm. The pros- The restaurant was quite good, the staff was friendly, and they served delicious full breakfast. I had higher expectations of the Royal Oak, so overall I feel disappointed.

It was a bonus to be able to use the pool at the sister hotel, the Waterloo. Breakfast was fabulous, served hot and on a hot plate.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room on the front of the hotel was spacious and well equipped with a pleasant view, albeit with a little road noise if the windows were open. Parking is conveniently just across the road or round the back. The breakfast menu had a wide choice and the cooked food was to a high standard. Whilst there are a number of restaurants and pubs in Betws, we ate in the hotel each evening partly for convenience, but mainly due to the range of food available and its quality. My wife and I were celebrating a milestone birthday and the hotel team nicely delivered a couple of treats that our daughter had pre-arranged. My marking down of the hotel's eco-friendliness was because the towels were changed each day.

Stayed in a twin lodge room. Overall the room was clean comfortable and well maintained. The hotel had a lovely restaurant and bar area and is well located in the town centre. I was disappointed with a few things however and expected more for the price of the hotel: The breakfast costs £15 and the portions are very small with a limited buffet option. The breakfast staff were not particularly welcoming and got the order wrong on both days we stayed. I recommend not paying for breakfast in advance to keep your options open. The single beds in our twin were very small. Narrower than a standard single and the mattress were not very supportive so I didn’t get a great nights sleep during my stay. Overall disappointed with my stay and think there are better value options available.
