Padarn Hotel

The Pandaris is a budget hotel, the location is excellent. Bit of a rabbit warren upstairs lots of fire doors to manoeuvre in order to reach your room. Rooms are ok, comfy bed, kettle, tv. Shower over bath. We had rooms that looked out over the side road, no view as such, but quiet. The hotel has EV chargers. Current rate is 75p pkw. We had dinner in the hotel unfortunately it was rather disappointing. They had advised us they were a chef short so they were only accepting bookings from hotel residents. We ordered drinks and our food at the same time this obviously caused confusion as 20 minutes later there was still no sign of our drinks. When l wandered into the bar to chase our order at least 4 young female waitresses were all just stood around looking at their mobile phones! They didn’t realise we had ordered drinks, well one of them knew as she took the order! Our food duly arrived, the vegan curry was a success the fish and chips was not very good. The fish was super greasy and the chips seriously over cooked, cremated. We received £6 discount for the chips, a very token sum. The evening waiting staff need some basic training, no offer of seeing the dessert menu or coffee or more drinks. All basic stuff that is missing. Breakfast service and quality of food was excellent so different from dinner. If we stayed again we would eat breakfast there but eat out for dinner.

Fab location for Snowdon and the lake , v friendly staff ,large room and bathroom with good views stayed for 3 nights with breakfast which was excellent and served by helpful friendly staff had dinner one night which we enjoyed thanks for a great stay will return

Excellent hotel, perfect for access to Snowdon and other local attractions. Clean, decent size bedroom with basic amenities for a short stay. On site parking was free and plenty of spaces. Breakfast was well priced for local produce and a good range of cereals/ toast etc. The highlight of our stay is that this hotel is dog friendly and so are the staff! Staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. Will definitely stay again when visiting the area in the future.

What a find!!! Nothing could fault this place… the staff were 5* service from start to finish. Dave, the manager, made the entire trip even more enjoyable. He was one of the most warm and friendly people I’ve met! He helped us plan our trip up Snowdon (as 4 inexperienced mountain climbers we needed all the help we could get) he even printed off a map for us to follow. A lovely lady who served us breakfast as well was very chatty and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in one of the family rooms and you really couldn’t go wrong. A fantastic sleep on the very very comfy beds, which was definitely beneficial before the early morning climb. If anyone was ever going to walk Snowdon this is the first place I would recommend to stay, especially because there is a route that takes you right back to Llanberis. 5* all around and at a great price too Oh and the breakfast topped it all off. I recommend the full English. Great fuel for the day ahead. Will definitely be staying again! From, Grace, Evie, Meg & Georgia X

Fantastic service from the team, couldn't do enough for you. Great food, good portions pre & post Snowdon hike. Added bonus is that the bus stops right outside to get you to Pen Y Fan. The comedy night was a bit hit and miss, but isn't that always the way with comedy!

We decided to stay overnight in Llanberis before attempting a walk on Snowdon with the kids. Our evening was great: lovely family room with a bunk bed in an adjoining room; amazing pub grub; a hearty breakfast (and smaller options for those that don’t want the full Welsh); and super friendly staff who helped us figure out bus-routes etc. Would definitely stay again.
