Room clean and comfortable, the only issue we had was the bed sliding about with the slightest touch. Great breakfast and evening meal just a bit too small a portion for the cheeseboard.Loved the vegan schnitzel! Parking was easy and hotel was in a good location.

Enjoyable stay in Porthmadog

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sportsman. It is true that the rooms are quite compact but we had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The bed was comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist with parking and a special breakfast request. The breakfast is excellent with a good range of choice. We ate at the hotel on two evenings and the quality of the food and service were brilliant. Porthmadog was a great place to stay and we would certainly return to the Royal Sportsman without hesitation!
