10/10 Exceptional

excellent value

The amenities for a small property is amazing. The bar downstairs is convenient with a nice outdoor seating area. The rooms are bright and comfortable. I had a great view of the mountains through my large skylight window. The staff are ready to help and have a great knowledge of the local area. It is 5 minutes to the pier and restaurants and other bars. I totally recommend this place. And will definitely stay here again.

Great central Bangor location and vegan breakfast

Great location central to Bangor so it's easy to walk into town for retail and restaurants. Good to have off-street parking and the breakfast included in the price. Being Vegan it was fab to catered for so happy to recommend.

One nighter

People were nice and helpful but the accommodation itself left a lot to be desired. Located on the hill with plenty of student food and bars nearby as well.

Nice place

Place was nice, games available, pool tables, parking and breakfast included. My only negative was that there was just my son and I and one other lady in the breakfast room, we asked the lady if she would mind us playing pool and she said no. I paid for the pool table and then the man serving breakfast came running over telling me we couldn't play in a morning. We left after that, it was a shame because noone was in the dining room, both my son and I left as did the lady. So it wouldn't have been an issue to have just played one game of pool. Overall it was nice, the staff were friendly and if was local to where we needed to go. It was noisy though until early hours which could have been an issue but I sleep with music in the background so thankfully it was drowned out.

2/10 Poor

This is the dirtiest room I have ever been to. The room was not vacuumed before check in, was stained everywhere, mold in the bathroom. We did not stay the night and left immediately to find other accommodations.

Needs a deep clean

Spacious room with lovely view, comfortable bed, clean white bedlinen and towels. However.... poor quality furniture (drawers fall out if you open more than a few inches) and the whole place needed a good deep clean. Armchairs badly stained. Coffee table and tray were filthy and mugs were dirty - I asked for clean mugs and they said they didn't have any. I asked for a jug of hot soapy water and a cloth to clean the table and tray and was given a jug of warm water with a light squirt of cheap washing up liquid in it and a worn out scouring pad. Sink plug chain broken. Poor toilet flush. Black mould on bath/shower grouting. Low shower pressure.

Es ist alt und abgewohnt, hat aber was. Alles Notwendige ist da, es ist recht sauber, der integrierte Pub ist cool, das Frühstück klasse, die Lage zur Uni perfekt, der Service sehr nett.

Awful place....steer clear.

We found it to be more like a Hostel than a Hotel. It was full of noisy students on both evenings we were there. Our main criticism was the general state of the hotel and the cleanliness of the room. It needs complete renovation and redecorating and the room was actually filthy. Stained carpet, ancient dried out old pine furniture, awful curtains and a bathroom that was covered in black mould....I am not exaggerating! The shower had absolutely no pressure so it was almost impossible to have a shower. What water there was fluctuated rapidly from cold to boiling hot. Virtually a Health and safety issue. The tiles on top of the shelf were held together with a large strip of silver Duck Tape. Dust was everywhere on things The only redeeming factor was that the bed linen was clean.
Shelf above the loo.
Bath taps, tiles etc.
pipe from  basin.
typical door frame paintwork

Out of date hotel

We were in room 7, it was at the top of the hotel, the room over looked the rear car park and at night there was a floodlight which was on most of the night which lit up our room as the curtains weee nearly see through. The shower if you can calm it a shower there was no water pressure it was like have a shower under tap.

Menai - under rated. Will be back

Stayed here as close to university. Was a 2 minute walk. Deserves a higher rating than it currently has. No lifts so people with mobility issues may struggle. Wasn’t a problem for me and my daughter. We had a twin room. Shower was a little disappointing as spray was not very good or powerful. However was over a full size bath with plenty of hot water. Comes with free breakfast too. Limited to 5 items and wasn’t clear if you could pay to add to this. Cooked breakfast was delicious. Plenty of tea and coffee available in the room. I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Bangor. Lots of food outlets and a couple of bars within a couple of minutes walk.
