"I loved that the hotel is inside the castle walls."

"Excellent Hotel. Very friendly staff, lovely clean room, nicely decorated with a comfy bed. The breakfast is superb, particularly the bacon which is delicious and cooked properly. Overall 10/10 "

"Lovely all-around. The only drawback was that the rooms didn't have fridges but other than that it was perfect."

"Very welcoming staff, hotel is very clean and pleasant. Rooms were clean and a good size. Spa was lovely touch. Breakfast is amazing and the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. A brilliant stay "

"Fabulously convenient location for the Snowdon railway and great views too. Good room in the separate coach house. Excellent breakfast. Wonderful view from the window seats in the restaurant if you can get a table there. "

"Very friendly staff."

"This is an interesting place! The room was clean and comfortable, you just need to bring your own toiletries. The property has a lot of space to lounge and hang out, including nice outdoor tables to enjoy the sunset, and even has an indoor shuffleboard table. The staff was very nice and will make you eggs for breakfast. The property was great for hiking in Snowdonia. The property has a bit of a long driveway so it's not very walkable to restaurants/food stores but it's a very short drive to get food. "

"Great staff in a fantastic location. A great hostel with a cozy home from home feel and also a perfect little coffee area "

"My stay at The Oakeley Arms Hotel in Blaenau Ffestiniog was truly the highlight of my time in Wales. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome—friendly, attentive, and even greeting me by name (perhaps I stood out as a solo female traveler!). Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel restaurant was an unexpected delight. Coming from the U.S., I was blown away by the quality, flavor, and generous portions of every meal. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious—so much so that I felt guilty not finishing it all! Be sure to leave room for dessert; each one is divine and worth the indulgence. My room had a comfortable single bed that was perfect for me. The space was surprisingly large and the bathroom was lovely—clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully appointed. Thank you, Oakeley Arms, for such a wonderful experience. You made this solo traveler feel right at home. I can genuinely say this was my best stay in Wales!"
