We booked the Royal Victoria for it's closeness to the Snowdon Railway, I don't think it was even 300 yds, excellent. Breakfast was buffet style and I have no complaints about the food, it was brilliant. Unfortunately, our train was only allowed up half way because of storm "Amy", however while on our way home we decided to look around the slate lake and people were queuing for the Summit trip, so, my wife went and booked another trip to the summit, we couldn't see anything when we got to the top because of the mist and so windy, but, we did it :-) We will book the hotel and summit trip next year when the weather isn't going to be an issue!!!

Great location. Hotel clean and friendly staff. Breakfast had good selection. Stayed in a small single room, which was adequate for one night stay. Only downside was noisy fan system outside window which hindered my sleep.

Quick trip to Snowdonia

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Good room, everything you need. Clean and comfortable . Good quality breakfast with good choice. Great position in Llanberis. Ideal for doing Snowdon. Snowdon railway a short walk away. Snowdonia is stunning.
