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.

Good value for money, good breakfast, comfortable bed, friendly staff. I loved the view of the mountains over the houses from the room. The shower took a long time to run warm, but I was showering early, and the carpet was worn in places, but did the job of being a place to stay near my destinations.

Great value for money!

I was exceptionally pleased by stay at the Menai Hotel. The room was clean & comfortable with everything I needed plus a great view of the mountains. Location-wise it was also handy for the city centre. I had a great sleep and breakfast was varied and plentiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great value for money!

Staff very welcoming. Parking a bit tight but plenty. Room very spacious. bed comfortable. Shower didnt get higher than luke warm, but then i was on the top floor and probably need to let it run for a lot longer than i had time for. TV, nice to have, but needed the aerial realigning. Pub wasnt busy , Music, tv, pool tables, reasonable prices. Breakfast was good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I loved the feel and atmosphere of this place, and the location was very good, being very close to numerous restaurants and a grocery store. The staff here is wonderful as well. My biggest complaint is that there were some nights were there was just too much noise. There were numerous nights where I could hear the television of the room below me, and one night where I could loudly hear music from what seemed like a party going on in the pub below, which went on until midnight.

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.

Suppose ok for money, but some upgrade required urgently, shower just tricled and took 10 minutes to get aired water, some plug sockets did not work, no real staff communication one guy seemed to do everything including running the busy pub, public areas need decorating and breakfast was like being on rations.
