The Black Boy Inn

Nothing was too much trouble and all staff member that we encountered were friendly and very accommodating. The chef went out of his wasy to provide food suitable for my vegan diet. The whole place was spotless and warm despite the December weather. Would definitely go there again.

Really enjoyed the stay, food excellent along with comfort and cleanliness and a warm welcome on arrival. Location and ambience of Inn itself were fantastic, somewhere I'd really look forward to returning to.

Often no-one on duty in the restaurant and despite it being quite empty we had to wait some ten minutes to be seated. Were then told to sit anywhere we chose! Side orders with main meal were never delivered and once staff realised (or could be tracked down) it was too late. I wouldn't however allow a couple of minor indescretions spoil my visit, nor preclude a definite return. Its more to do with the age of serving/waiting staff these days generally and a lack of attention to guests.

The staff were very polite and very helpful, and due to the refurb the room was great.

Perfect base,great staff and accomodation.Will stay again when in the area.The place was undergoing building work but did not impose on guests at all.

The Black Boy Inn was a well situated Hotel right in the heart of Caernarfon, and only a few steps away from all the main attractions. The building is very ancient, but at the same time modern. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially the waiter in the restaurant and the breakfast crew. I stayed for one night, and it was very comforting to be safely tucked into a cosy warm room as a stormy night raged outside. My bedroom was very clean, and the shower was splendid. I had to dodge the low black ceiling beams, but this was not a problem and just added to the ambience. I suspect that this Inn gets very busy in the height of the tourist season, but there is plenty of room in the public rooms. The public bars both had lovely open coal fires burning which added a wonderful atmosphere to the whole place. Overall I would recommend you to visit this fine old establishment, and if I was in the area again I would have no hesitation in staying for a longer period.

The main downside was the terribly overcooked fish in the Restaurant, and it’s completely unimaginative accompaniment of tinned “garden” peas, tinned tomatoes and overcooked chips. The meal was a great disappointment, but to be fair the Restaurant was very busy, and the chef was probably over burdened. However the breakfast more than made up for the evening meal. Another downside was the lack of adequate parking; I had to park in the nearby public parking area, where I was awarded an unwelcoming parking fine on a Sunday morning!

friendly staff with a 'laid back' approach - a welcoming atmosphere in an authentic setting.

disappointed to discover that the kitchen was closed due to renovations -this should have been flagged when booking.

We had intended only one night at the hotel but we found it so pleasant we decided to stay on another day. The bedroom (No 4) was very comfortable and interesting.

I had made repeated requests to repair the central heating radiator in our bedroom but unfortunately this was not succesfully accomplished.

The location was perfect. The staff were excellent.The whole atmosphere of the hotel was great.

great atmosphere in the hotel and set in the centre of a loverly town

On arriving at the Black Boy Inn we were met by the propieter who made us feel very welcome when showing us to our room and giving us a brief history chat about the accommodation. Our room was very comfortable and all we needed was available. Breakfast in the morning was superb and just what we needed to set us up for the day. ps thanks to the attentive staff for organising taxi's for us. Cheers helen and chris

Lovely room very clean and comfy bed.Excellent en suite facilities. Food very well presented and tasty. Although renovation work still underway it did not affect our stay in any way.

Good quality food and a comfort of the room
