Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1824 reviews
The Black Boy Inn is a listed building which is situated in the historic town walls of the Royal Borough of Caernarfon. The Inn is within easy walking distance to the town centre, and the famous 13th-century Castle. An old Inn dating back to 1522 and with its wooden paneling, low ceilings, and thick wooden support beams generates a cosy 'Olde Worlde' Welsh atmosphere. The Black Boy is a very busy Inn; please do not expect it to be a slow laid back hotel. It is in the centre of the tourist hub of North Wales and long wait times can be norm in middle of summer. Come and visit us in the winter season for a more laid back feeling.We now also have Black Jacks, which is another renovated building in courtyard, at rear of Inn .Black Jacks is away from the hustle of the main Inn .

Short break away , amazing quality
Reviewed By PeanutphoenixA surprisingly pleasant little hotel. The room we had had much more space than anticipated and a massive, comfy bed ! ( I think we struck lucky with a disabled room so got the extra space) The room came with a little kitchen and fridge etc so you could take your own food and stuff without relying on local amenities. Everything was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly . Breakfast was included and dam was it good food ! If you stay in this area and need somewhere good to stay I strongly advice here ! Staff are friendly , everything is well kept and the food is delicious! Only downside is parking is charged per night or you have to park around the corner on a public car park which is free between 10pm and 10am

Whether you're trekking up Snowdon or yachting down the coast, Premier Inn Hotel Caenarfon Victoria Dock is perfect for the high life around here. We're right on the Marina, and close to the history of Caenarfon and the majesty of Snowdonia too. Put on your walking boots for some serious climbing, or take off your shoes for a paddle at Dinas Dinlle. Stand on platforms waiting for the West Highland Railway, or hotfoot it over to Anglesey. Then turn your feet back to the hotel for some tasty fare at our Table Table restaurant and a great night's sleep.
Great location

A great hotel.......BUT........
Reviewed By An_Old_BurianWe have stayed at the Celtic Royal previously and were happy to return. The hotel is well situated, we asked for the same room as before because it was so pleasant - and they obliged - and the staff are generally very helpful............BUT there is a problem in the restaurant with staff awareness of how to deal with allergies. On the first evening we told that waiter of an allergy that one of us suffered - the starter was "fine" but the main course came without attention being paid to the allergy.....which subsequently resulted in both our "mains" being incorrect and our being served separately. The 2nd night they were alert to the problem and everything was good........but on the 3rd night, with a change in staff, we were back to chaos. They finally got to grips with the issue and nights 4 and 5 were problem free.........BUT they clearly have a training issue in the restaurant (we don't think it extended to the kitchen) since if they don't know how to deal with allergy issues, then there could be some very serious consequences

Lovely stay in central Caernarfon
Reviewed By Christina BLovely little room in the centre of Caernarfon. We arrived late and the staff at the Black Boy inn were really helpful in getting us parked and checked in efficiently. We were in one of the loft rooms and it was bright and spacious with a huge comfortable bed and good shower facilities. There’s also a little shared kitchen (shared with one other room) which was great for storing packed lunch bits for our hikes. The room was a little stuffy but it’s to be expected in an attic room and the window opens quite far so easily resolved. Great base for a long weekend hiking. Would definitely stay again.

Can’t wait to return…
Reviewed By Steph GWe had a lovely stay at Sygun Fawr. Total peace and tranquility and a very homely feel to everything. Ruth and her husband are wonderful hosts and knowledgeable about the locality. Breakfast was great and the staff so helpful and friendly. Comfortable conservatory, TV lounge and an authentic bar area with a very welcome (and reasonably priced) honesty bar add to the package. Wi-Fi was no problem anywhere in the building either. Yes, the road to the house is narrow and windy but it doesn’t take long to get from the main road to the front door and we never did encounter any other traffic on the way, so please don’t let this put you off. Beddgelert, a few hundred yards away, has some great places to eat so you are never short of a nearby meal option (probably best to book where possible though). There is a car park in the town but it’s a bit pricey and it’s possible to find spaces on the roadside. Ruth, thank you so much for making our stay so memorable. You truly are a gem and we hope to be back soon. X

Lovely bed and breakfast
Reviewed By gemini-joyOur second stay at Caer Menai. Perfect location, no problem parking despite it being the bank holiday, friendly hosts and a beautiful immaculate room with a great view. Perfect breakfast with plenty of choices. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. We look forward to visiting again.

Sea Front Pub
Reviewed By Pollie67Stayed here for the weekend and there was brown stains on the bed sheets and the pillows inside the cases were stained disgustingly. The bathroom , if you could call it that, was more like a little cupboard. It was so small you could actually sit on the toilet whilst washing your hands and wash your feet in the shower at the same time. The overall cleanliness of the B&B was not really good. In the bar the dirt and dust on the window sills we’re filthy, there was even dust on the teapot at breakfast. The food in the evening wasn’t very good but the breakfast was nice. The staff were lovely and so helpful. The B&B is in a lovely position right on the sea front and just round the corner from the town centre. The view from room 9 was stunning, it’s just the overall cleanliness that lets it down. I know the building is very old and rickety but it doesn’t mean it has to be dirty.
