The hotel is perfectly situated in the beautiful park of Wales, offering a serene location surrounded by nature. The rooms are cozy with lovely views, but the screen could use some refreshing. The service, although initially lacking some final touches, was eventually sorted out and turned out to be excellent. While the price was fair, improvements in the overall service completion could enhance the value for money.

I couldn't believe how amazing the location of this hotel is! It's right in the heart of Betws Y Coed, which made exploring the village super easy. The rooms were cozy and had a massive TV perfect for sports lovers, but they were a bit too warm due to the heating. Having a cup of tea or coffee in the room was a nice touch. I wish the mattress was a bit more comfortable, but overall, it was decent.
