Have no expectations when booking this hotel…

No hot water , had a cold shower, after hiking all day, even after reporting it 3 times. They could not swap the room as the water in there was also cold. Poor cleaning, poor breakfast choices and services. Worktop in the bar area was sticky. Nice location.

We were running late and I called and told them that we were going to be later than expected and the girl was so nice she told us that it was okay they were going to wait for us, we finally got there after 11pm and they were there waiting for us, she said they were concerned because of the road and it was raining and misty, they were so nice and friendly and the gentleman helped bringing our luggage upstairs. I give them 10/10.

Checked in and was greeted by friendly staff. Room was in much need of a refurbishment. Everything was quite run down. No hot water so had a cold shower, luckily it was the hottest day of the year. The window wouldn’t shut and the curtain let in all the light so prepare to be awake from 430am in the summer. Room aside it’s a lovely community pub, we stayed for food which was really nice and had beers in the sun in the beer garden. All staff friendly and check out easy. Overall - would recommend if rooms had a bit of an upgrade!

Staff helpful - gave ideas for dinner, member of the public got me extra milk for my room. Free parking Negatives Hairs in shower Was expecting breakfast as included when booked.

Warm Room, Cool Views 🗻

I had a great stay at Y Pengwern Hotel. The room was super cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home - perfect for winding down after a day out. I really appreciated the extra heaters they provided—perfect if you like the room toasty and warm. The view from the window was absolutely stunning. It looked right out over the mountains, and catching the sunrise and sunset from there made the whole trip feel even more special. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. I’d happily stay there again!

The overall stay was good very helpful and friendly staff and locals too. But I got an email to inform me about they don’t do breakfast any more. This was not their fault, but it was sent too late for me to cancel and rebook anywhere else and get a full refund. Any chance of some money back from hotels. Com at all?

There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot. I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!

Worse stay in a B&B for a good long time.

Advertised as including Breakfast on Hotels.com and other websites, this is what we paid for Bed and Breakfast. When checking in was asked ' did you get the email about Breakfast?', No I replied, 'Well we don't provide anything, not even continental'. Thats strange I said, you are clearly advertising and charging customers for Bed and Breakfast. Had an evening meal, which I can only describe as the worse meal I've had for a good long time, one of the meals was inedible, which we complained about and did get a refund. the next few nights we found some decent eating places but had to drive 2-3 miles up the road. No room service to replenish tea / milk etc. This place appears to be run by the community but it appears they are only interested in it for a watering hole for the locals!!

Nothing like the pictures or description

I really liked the idea of a community run hotel, but it was simply not worth it. No drinking water in the room (fetch it yourself down the hall), black mould everywhere, cold (window didn't shut, heating was turned off for the whole building and duvet very thin) and we paid for breakfast when booking, then were told they "don't do breakfast" when we got there. For the price they charged it was greatly disappointing.

Advert says continental breakfast is included, which was reason for booking here not elsewhere locally. Only after checking in we're we informed that no breakfast is available "as there's no chef." A continental breakfast doesn't require a chef - anyone can put out cereal, milk, toast and , pastries! Informed closest village southbound to get breakfast was in Dolellau, a half hour drive away!!! My details were taken for manager to contact me to offer a partial refund. Over a week later and no contact made and false advert for breakfast included remains.

Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.
