Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were really, really nice and helpful. I can’t praise them enough. The room was reasonably clean, as was the bathroom. However, the plumbing was not so good, particularly the toilet cistern, which had issues. Bathroom fittings in need of major upgrade. One thing is that the place advertises parking for guest. However, spaces are limited and on return in the late afternoon from one trip away, I returned to find no parking spaces. I had to park on the street in a a spot with restrictions. I had to get up early the next day to move it in order to prevent myself from getting a ticket.

Our room was incredibly tiny and not practical for two people, the sink was in the bedroom not the bathroom so this brought about some problems as you can image. We asked to move but they were unable to accomodate this request. Housekeeping wasn't the best either, not hoovered throughout our 4 day stay, just bins emptied and biscuits replenished. The staff were all very friendly, breakfast was lovely we ate in the restaurant once for an evening meal, again delicious. They are clearly mid refurb, the dining areas, lounge and bar all very nice but really feel room 29 was not fit for purpose. I doubt we will stay there again. Location is great for shops alternative places to eat, the train station, nice marina and a short drive to lovely beaches.

Room clean and comfortable, the only issue we had was the bed sliding about with the slightest touch. Great breakfast and evening meal just a bit too small a portion for the cheeseboard.Loved the vegan schnitzel! Parking was easy and hotel was in a good location.

Autumn Break
Whilst the hotel is a little dated, the staff and service was excellent. The dining room and lounge were extremely pleasing on the eye and were much more modern compared with the bedroom. One thing that was not agreeable, was the compulsory service charge that was put on the bill in the dining room. This perhaps wouldn’t have been quite so bad but drinks purchased in the bar during the afternoon were also added to our evening meal bill, and the percentage service charge was added to that as well. Future afternoon drinks were paid for at the time of ordering.

Enjoyable stay in Porthmadog
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sportsman. It is true that the rooms are quite compact but we had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The bed was comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist with parking and a special breakfast request. The breakfast is excellent with a good range of choice. We ate at the hotel on two evenings and the quality of the food and service were brilliant. Porthmadog was a great place to stay and we would certainly return to the Royal Sportsman without hesitation!

Our room had recently been upgraded to a lovely standard but hadn't been cleaned, dust, cobwebs and mould in the bathroom. There was rain water pouring in to the covered patio making the exit from our room an accident waiting to happen. The beds were lovely and clean and the staff excellent.

Great position on the high street which is quite long with plenty of shops. The building stands out on the high street from other buildings close by. The only down side was the mould around the bath taps and the bottom of the shower door on the top of the bath, has you sit on the toilet you look directly at the mould which is very off putting.
