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.

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.

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.

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.
