Plas Coch Hotel Ltd

What guests think

Plas Coch Hotel Ltd offers a budget, town-centre stay where friendly, welcoming staff and satisfying breakfasts stand out, with an on-site pub and a handy but limited rear car park suiting short, good-value stopovers in Bala.

Rooms are generally dated and in need of refurbishment, with recurring maintenance niggles such as worn bedding, tired furniture, slow or mould-prone showers, and occasional cleanliness lapses. Noise is a common issue due to the lively pub downstairs and some street noise, though back-facing rooms tend to be quieter. Expect simple, no-frills accommodation with warm service and good value if your priorities are price and location.

Lovely friendly staff. Good variety of food on offer in the evening and for breakfast. The room was nice and big, although because of the old building, the floor was uneven. Pretty limited parking round the back. Overall a good stay.

The bedroom would benefit from a new bed and the replacement of all bedding. The shower and towels were good. Breakfast was excellent and evening meals were substantial although all items on the menu were not always available. The staff were friendly and helpful. I found it difficult to use the car park due to a marquee being erected and in position all week. Other parked vehicles resulted in limited space to manoeuvre. On street parking was however available

The place is run down and really needs updating the reception area looked like a bomb site with rubbish and boxes all over the place. We couldn't make a hot drink as when we boiled the kettle there was black bits inside it and the kettle it's self was black. The room it's self smell and we couldn't even lock the toilet door. We definitely won't be going there again

It was somewhere to stay for one night. The beds were clean and comfortable. Generally the room was clean but the paint was chipped in many places and the furniture hasn't aged well. The shower had mould around the base and the bathmat was threadbare, torn and holy. The bar was okay. The staff were good. Interesting that the single beds were completely different heights/sizes.

They do have a parking lot in the back but it fits maybe 5 cars from what I could tell. Luckily street parking right out front was free overnight so it wasn’t a problem. The place is a bit dingy and the mattress was awful. There was an actual hole in the ceiling of my room from possibly an old leak? The en-suite bathroom was fine. Staff were friendly enough and breakfast was decent. Very convenient location to many restaurants and shops. It was what it was if you need a quick stop off on a budget.

It’s a pub. Cheap. Friendly. Toilet didn’t flush properly, shower didn’t feel super clean and it was quite small. Bed was comfy. But it’s a characterful old pub and it’s cheap! Not many food options in Bala.

A comfortable stay and we were in luck having a room facing the back away from the traffic. There is a pelican crossing nearby which is set to a ridiculously high volume and this would have been a source of unnecessary noise had we been in a room facing the front. Please have a word with the local authority as it should be turned down. It only needs to be heard by people using it!
