Lock in a great price for Royal Sportsman Hotel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

well situated, rooms very comfortable, good food, staff friendly and helpful

John, United Kingdom

My single room was very well appointed. Comfy and clean. Bed excellent and everything looking spick and span. The breakfast was excellent with a good range of cereals, fruits, etc., My smoked salmon and scrambled egg was beautifully prepared and was a great start to the day. Would recommend highly.

Jack, United Kingdom

Good location close to the train station, breakfast was a highlight (very nice). All the staff where very helpful and nice.

Kirsty, United Kingdom

The staff were extremely helpful. When we mentioned the issue of the traffic noise the staff went out of their way to help and changed our room to one at the back which was much better for us.

Patricia, United Kingdom

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable surroundings, ideal central location especially for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways

Christopher, United Kingdom

THe breakfast was very hot and tasty. I would recommend the cheese and onion pie it was delicious. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was the ideal spot if you intend travelling on the steam trains.

Carol, United Kingdom

The food was excellent and all reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Chris, United Kingdom

Great customer care and great all round hotel.....

Edward, United Kingdom

Breakfast wonderful -- perfectly cooked and very tasty. You get the continental part from a generous buffet, then they take your order for the cooked part. Totally excellent. Very pleasant wait staff.

Andrea, New Zealand

The Hotel was very clean and in good order throughout. All staff were very friendly and attentive. The courtyard rooms provided excellent access for our elderly relatives. The parking facility was useful, although space was limited when the Hotel was full. All meals taken were of the highest quality.

눉Bed was very uncomfortable, resulting in a back back. Decor a little dated. Was informed there was only a few steps for our grandad to climb to his room (a full staircase and a half) there was also no rails in his room or bathroom and a step in to the bathroom (he managed it just) Causing him to struggle.
눇Good location close to the train station, breakfast was a highlight (very nice). All the staff where very helpful and nice.

Very Poor
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉It was dirty with cobwebs hanging down from the ceiling in several places.. The "courtyard" rooms are a disgrace. Our room was shabby and more like a mobile home than a hotel room. We could hear everything from the rooms above and either side including their toilet habits and their tv. The staff member who greeted us in the car park was rude and unhelpful and we were not shown to our room when we checked in. The rest of the hotel is dated and grubby. Very overpriced - it is a cheek to charge hotel prices (£100per night) for somewhere that is so down at heel. They are clearly cashing in on being the only hotel in the town. I have paid far less in far nicer guest houses. We had no window to the outside, just to the covered walkway, which, when it rained, had a dripping gutter internally. The bathroom was reminiscent of a public convenience - cracked tiles, dirty grouting and a horrible toilet. The place is an insult. Do not go here.
눇Nothing - it was awful
