A delightful hotel, at once both old-fashioned and modern. A very pleasant Reception and an excellent restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Slept well in a very comfortable room - (although I would have liked one 'soft' pillow). And all in all the hotel was central to a very pleasant weekend.

Perfect for our two night stay

Perfect location with friendly and accommodating staff. The Grill Room restaurant offered a wide range of quality food options. Our room was large and comfortable with good amenities, however the bathroom is starting to feel dated and the shower weak, but plenty of hot water.

First class comfort and service

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room on the front of the hotel was spacious and well equipped with a pleasant view, albeit with a little road noise if the windows were open. Parking is conveniently just across the road or round the back. The breakfast menu had a wide choice and the cooked food was to a high standard. Whilst there are a number of restaurants and pubs in Betws, we ate in the hotel each evening partly for convenience, but mainly due to the range of food available and its quality. My wife and I were celebrating a milestone birthday and the hotel team nicely delivered a couple of treats that our daughter had pre-arranged. My marking down of the hotel's eco-friendliness was because the towels were changed each day.

Busy Street

We had multiple problems with our shower - low water pressure and no hot water. The manager was very apologetic and adjusted our bill, which we appreciated. I did tell her that the photos are misleading. The hotel is on a busy street rather than in a park like setting as portrayed on the website.

Unfortunately we were on the second floor, no lift, no porter. But the worst thing was the stairs. 2 flights for each floor. The thought of returning to our room eventually took it's toll. The top floor may be good for people climbing Snowden, but we'd come to relax and do some gentle walking. We returned home exhausted and yet the staff were so friendly, the hotel had a nice ambience, we were disappointed the stairs spoilt it for us.

Everything was lovely and clean and staff we're very polite. The bedside light didn't work in room 109 so had to get out of bed to put the light on and off The bar unfortunately closed at 10pm and being sat outside we didn't hear last orders just before we were going to get our last drink for the night so had to walk uo the road to another pub thay was still open. Would definitely stay there again

Not what I expected

We stayed at the Royal Oak for the last three nights of a two week vacation. The bedroom pictures make the hotel look more upscale than it is. We were not in the main building but in rooms that go over and across the parking area. The cons- It was rather humid and stuffy but there were no fans and the windows did not open fully, which was uncomfortable. It was clean, but felt more like an American motel, not hotel, which was disappointing.We were in a room about the outdoor restaurant which was noisy and didn’t close until 10 pm. The pros- The restaurant was quite good, the staff was friendly, and they served delicious full breakfast. I had higher expectations of the Royal Oak, so overall I feel disappointed.

Overpriced superior room with a shower that I couldn't get to work and a sink that was blocked. Food in the restaurant was limited and breakfast choice for people who don't want a cooked meal was pretty limited. Restaurant trying to please all clients by offering a mix of everything other than normal food which is not spiced, full of lentils, noodles and vegan. Disappointed especially as it wasn't cheap.

Best part of stay cooked breakfast

I found the welcome avange, the room spaceage but dark. Nothing special about the deco, the bed was comfortable. We paid extra £15 each for breakfast. Well worth it, restaurant nice, service and food very good. I did feel pressured to book breakfast, I walked away then came back. Pleased I did.

Fabulous stay!

All the staff at the Royal Oak couldn’t have done anything more to help us during our stay. From advising us how to get to Pen-Y-Pass, which routes to take up Snowdon and where is good to eat. The food was great and a good range of options for all on the menu. Hotel itself is a little tired and could do with decorating in some places but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to do Snowdon again (which is likely) and would recommend it to others as well.
