Snowdonia Mountain Lodge

The hotel, staff, location, and the room were superb. The staff specifically Ned and Chris were fantastic , with the local knowledge help us to to plan walks and climb to Snowdonia. We definitely be going back.

I loved the motel vibe, and the scenery is astonishing. It’s a truly spectacular valley to be based in. I did a great walk/jog up the mountain on a trail directly above the hotel. My twin room was small and very basic, but it was clean and tidy, with a nice shower. No bells and whistles, but it’s great value for the location.

The location of this lodge is absolutely outstanding. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and it’s a fantastic base for exploring the area. If you’re visiting for hiking or simply to enjoy nature, the setting is hard to beat. Unfortunately, the most important part of any hotel stay is getting a good night’s sleep, and this is where the lodge fell short. The mattress was not very comfortable, and the wooden bed frame squeaked every time you moved. For a room costing £108 per night, I expected a much better-quality bed and mattress. I would happily pay a few pounds more if it meant having a solid bed and a comfortable mattress. People usually stay somewhere like this either because they have a long day of hiking ahead of them or because they need to recover after a day in the mountains. A good night’s sleep is essential, and unfortunately we didn’t get one. In fact, we changed our plans because we were too tired to go hiking the next day. We stayed elsewhere the following night and only climbed the mountain after finally getting some proper rest. The lodge does offer useful facilities, such as a shared kitchen, and those were appreciated. However, for me, those extras don’t make up for the lack of comfort. The primary purpose of booking accommodation is to sleep well, and unfortunately this lodge did not deliver on that. Overall, while the location is excellent, I wouldn’t stay here again unless

My partner had an accident whilst hiking (helicopter evacuation and several hours in Bangor A&E) and the generosity, kindness, empathy, and love from the staff at Snowdonia Mountain Lodge was next level. We could not have wanted or asked for more. The lodge in a lovely setting with great views, gardens and a small stream plus communal dining area/lounge for those not in the retreat part of the complex. Highly recommended and we will return when physically and mentally healed.

Very minimalist small room with thin partition walls and on view to everyone from the carpark. Bed was comfortable, shower worked decently, it was clean and there was a kettle. Parking is no problem either. If you want a cheap bed for the night and nothing more then this will work for you - as long as you don't have neighbours making any noise.
