Royal Goat Hotel

Booked this hotel for a weekend due to location to Watkin Path. Staff so kind & helpful, Rooms clean & tidy with ensuite bathrooms including baths in two out of 3 rooms booked. Use of lift to rooms. Breakfast selection plentiful and hot, evening meals superb & well priced. Hotel also offers a cool room to store food & drinks for your climb, as well as offering a snack pack to buy for your day out. The Goat Hotel is based in Beddgelert & walking distance to amenities. We will definitely be booking for a return visit.

Food options great all purchased meals excellent quality large portions. Breakfast included all items excellent and well presented.Staff helpful and effecient. Lovely setting. Quirky and original decor. Great to see 4 legged friends wellcomed 2 goldens having a whale of a time chilling with their owners Room clean and comfortable lift to floors small but functional.Overall good value for money. Breakfast and parking a big 👍

Bathroom was dirty and no soap. No one was ever on staff. Had a nice outdoor patio but was weedy, neglected and overgrown

It is am old building, facilities are dated and average at best. Toilet tough to flush, hotel WiFi did not reach our room, etc. Nice staff, and apparently new ownership trying to slowly renovate. Has some history and charm and in a great town.

Great location in Beddgelert, relaxed atmosphere and friendly polite staff. Cooked breakfast very nice. Property just a little dated, but functional.

The web page states Free breakfast with every room type, but the confirmation was room only. When i asked about this i was told i had chosen this option. We were in room 38, in the roof. The room was cold on arrival, the heating was off , it never came on, but there was a small plug in heater. The window didn't close and the wind kept opening it. The lift was adjoined to the room so it made a terrible noise every time it was called. This room looks nothing like the images on Hotels.com The bar area was nice with a good selection of drinks, and the Menu has nice options. The guys working there were nice. Parking opposite is free. I had to pay extra for breakfast. i feel i was mislead

Two night stay - If you’re looking for somewhere to stay after walking the mountains then this is ok. If you want a comfortable stay I suggest you explore the other hotels in the area. We had to wait to check in - one person was covering both the bar and the reception. Our room was spacious but like a fridge - we had to request an additional plug in heater. Had this not been provided it would have been a very unpleasant stay. The bar was closed when we returned to the hotel at 8pm on the Sunday evening had we known we would have stayed out later it was like returning to the Marie Celeste Even though we prepaid for our stay we were asked both on our arrival and when checking out to pay for our accommodation and breakfast. All in all not the best experience.

This hotel is tired and dated, rooms need upgrading and bathroom tiny. Bar had leaking ceiling and needed desperate repair, food was a plus point though, good menu and food was great. Breakfast was also really good. Decent prices for food and drink.

My room here was nice & had a good peaceful sleep. But sorry to say that's the only positive from my stay. I arrived to check in at the time stated on booking but cleaning was still in progress No sign of any other staff. A cleaner went to find someone & a lady arrived. Reception area seemed to be someone's office? I was given a key and told my room was on first floor. No information offered on arrival re. facilities and no guest information book in the room. Lovely large bath towels provided but would be nice to have a smaller hand towel too? Also bath is a slip hazard due to overbath shower so please consider a non slip mat for the shower. I couldnt work out how to lock door when going out so had to leave unlocked! I had no idea re. restaurant times as no information so took a gamble and went down 6.30pm. The place was deserted. I asked if food was being served and was given a table. I ordered my meal ..fish & chips .. was nice but nothing special. Im not sure but felt like it was more like a frozen supermarket meal & for the price charged was disappointing. I was the only one in the restaurant the whole time. I waited for someone to come to offer me a desert menu but the lady had gone again! so had to miss that. Went for breakfast but again absolutely deserted and no sign of any breakfast set up! Annoying as i had paid for a breakfast I decided to check out and leave. No one about again except a young man so i just gave key & left feeling hungry. Very disappointed.

Very clean tidy and pleasant the only draw back they weren't serving meals whilst I was there . Beds very comfy! Breakfast very generous

The property needs updating, it was clean but interior looks tired. We asked to be moved from our first room as we had a view of a dirty roof and a ventilation unit. Not what you want when visiting an area of outstanding beauty or the £200 we paid to stay for 2 night. We got upgrade to another room with a much better view of the mountains. There was an issue with rusty water leaking from the ceiling into the bath from the bathroom above, but informed manager and a handyman came to dress the issue. There was an issue with the gutter outside, with rain dripping from it to the flat roof outside our room keeping us awake at night. The bed was comfy though. Breakfast although nice, felt we were rushed to order our hot breakfast. Staff were welcoming and happy to deal with our issues.

Clean room with ensuite facilities. Friendly staff at hotel. Good choice for breakfast (full Welsh+options). Excelent meals otherwise - good potions of all meals taken which were piping hot and freshly made - impressed! A bit out of the way but worth the effort.

This place is a scam, I have stayed at better no-stat hotels than this. Price and quality must match, but I paid 170 £ for something worth less than 40. The guys that run it do try to, but they lave the skills, knowledge and basic competencies. Groundlevel restaurant windows are so dirty (those were their main attraction) floors were full of last weeks crums, drinks were hot and after my arm got stuck by the grime on the table I simply dropped breakfast as I did not want to risk food poisening. The rooms might have passed as hostelrooms in the 80ies but nothing worked, no aircondition, Bulls were all gone. This place piger to be shut down or renovated and run by people who know what they are doing. Have not had such a bad hotel experience since backpacking in Indonesia in 1992, and there the room cost 5£.

Told that Tesco vouchers had not been paid and we would have to pay for room so went somewhere else would like my money back as we did not stay. Property was damp smelling in reception and looked rundown and uncared for.

Very clean tidy and pleasant the only draw back they weren't serving meals whilst I was there . Beds very comfy! Breakfast very generous

A great stay at this hotel, friendly attentive staff but the building was a little tired and needed some attention. Our bedroom window looked out over a very dirty flat roof area with missing tiles on the roof.

The breakfasts were great and the staff very attentive. Our room was clean and I liked the large towels. However, the water for the tea time shower was cold. Overall I would stay there again.

Breakfast service very slow. No remote control for TV. Toilet constantly running water.

It was okay place .needs a bit of work to be good. No tap on shower to switch from bath to shower room was a bit small staff were friendly and polite

Excellent stay in snowdonia. Friendly staff and a pleasant place to stay. The place has aged and the footboards squeaked. But all good

Great location! Good food options even at the hotel restaurant. Some noise from the traffic on the main road, but not much.

I'm sorry to say but didn't have a good experience. Fixtures and fittings were poor. TV didn't work much, poor signal. Latch on window broken. Curtains fell down so they moved us to another room. TV still didn't work that well. No heating only towel rail. Room cold unable to fill the bath up as only the shower worked. Would I stay there again no.

The staff was very friendly and took care of all of our needs. Location is great, the town is conveniently located to explore the mountains, the coast, and the castles. There are many dining and shopping options within walking distance and it's not too busy.

We stayed 2 nights to attend a wedding. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was very good.

My husband and I stayed here for a last-minute trip and were not disappointed. The hotel is charming - it's an older building with an old-world feel to it. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful and the location cannot be rivaled. We definitely have plans to return the next time we're in the UK.

This hotel looked OK in the pictures, but reality was something different. The hotel has 'history', but that's all. I don't think it's been updated since the 1950's. On top of that, we booked months in advance - but when we arrived they said we hadn't paid and had to pay again. We have since confirmed payment, but I have been trying (unsuccessfully) for months to get a refund of the duplicate payment. Beddgelert is a nice place and I would have recommended their sister property Saracens Head instead - except that they have also been stone-walling us on our attemp to get a refund. At this point, I would recommend avoiding both properties to be safe. A real low spot in an otherwise wonderful trip to Wales.

Staff very helpful, good location. This 2nd visit and intend visiting again in the near future.

Lovely old building with character, has had a modest amount of refurbishment with still some way to go. Staff very accomodating, Good location , will definately stay again

Brilliant location for a walking weekend in Snowdonia. Very comfortable and great food. The service was struggling, but the staff were hard working and eager, so easy to be lenient.

Great location! Good food options even at the hotel restaurant. Some noise from the traffic on the main road, but not much.

The staff were so amazing and sweet. We enjoyed our time there and it was easily walkable to train or any other places we wanted to go. Also rented bikes and loved our ride around the area and to the sea.

This property is in a good situation for easy access to lots of walks in surrounding area. Plus easy access to bus routes to Snowdon etc. the village is delightful. Will visit it again

I was a little nervous, I’ll admit, due to other more negative reviews, but there really was nothing to be worried about. The room was great, it wasn’t noticeably unclean or anything like that. Bed was comfortable, area was quiet, and I have no complaints. The staff were welcoming and polite, and the food was really good also. The surrounding village is beautiful, and the Rhydd Ddu path up Mount Snowdon is one bus stop away (or 8KM walk), which is a bonus.

We stayed 2 nights to attend a wedding. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was very good.

A characterful historic hotel. Great food. Friendly service and quiet.
