Unacceptable noise
Well we had no decent night sleep we got woke up till 3 am both nights due to banging and loud guests because of a wedding guests which we was not told about but it’s unacceptable that we was not able to get a decent nights sleep especially on the second night when we had to be up early to travel back so only got 5 hours sleep due to the disturbances

Positives: amazing local scenery, very clean rooms. Negatives: Friendliness and helpfulness of staff was very hit and miss. Bed was very uncomfortable. Although room was fairly warm a lot of cold air was coming in from the window so not very eco friendly when heating is on. Breakfast had a good selection but unfortunately food from hot counter was virtually cold/lukewarm.

I have stayed at the Royal Victoria Hotel on a few previous occasions over the past 15 years. I was really looking forward to returning - and as soon as I walked in I felt good about being back. And I wasn't let down in my expectations- the check in was pleasant and easy and when we got to the room we we were really impressed with the space and mountain view (first time I had tried the 'executive' room option - it was worth it) We dined at the bar restaurant that evening and the food was good, and again the staff very pleasant. Breakfast next day was busy as a coach load of departing guest seemed to be bustling to eat up quickly - but even so, the staff did a good job of keeping everyone happy and served on time. We stayed at breakfast a bit longer and enjoyed a slower breakfast and thought the food was very nice - especially the quality of the bread. We chatted to the staff a bit too - who were all very friendly. In all - I consider that for the very fair price asked for a nights stay, that the hotel provides a really very pleasant experience for staying in the area. Absolutely would plan to return some day.

Surrounding area is perfect and great natural spot. Room was clean but few odd bits which could have been better. Walls were thin but other than that great place, and breakfast.

Our first stop on the road trip. We sadly didn't get to take the train up to Snowdon but that was the only bad thing that happened on the entire trip (blasted weather!). The Stay at the Victoria was very comfortable and got us started off in the right way on our Welsh road trip :)

Great value for money, food was of a reasonable standard with plenty of choice. Our room was cosy but had what was required, although it was very warm and the beds a little hard. If you’re climbing then it’s fantastic.

This is the best accommodation you will find in Llanberis. Staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is a bit tired but its warm and comfortable. Evening meal in the restaurant was very good with a good size portion, which was well received after a days hiking.

Room decor matches local industry
Lovely newly decorated Executive Suite room it appeared. The theme was slate, in keeping with the nearby slate industry.
