Perfect location, staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely old feel to the building with bars in all sorts of nooks and crannies. Stayed in the newer rooms, which were modern but in keeping with the overall appearance, food good and large portions. Breakfast very nice.

Craig United Kingdom

Staff were wonderful. The gentleman that served us made sure my wife had a meal that she requested but wasnt on the menu.It really made the evening. The Hotel is beautiful and clean. The beds are the best

Robert United States of America

Fab hotel Everything was first class will definitely return

Jackie United Kingdom

This was by far and away one of the most exemplary stays in any hotel on any continent I've ever had. The food was exquisite, the rooms spacious, the bathrooms neat and clean, and the staff genuine and helpful.

Nick83pg United States of America

Food very good, staff were very cordial and helpful

Karen United States of America

It was all about convenience for me, with a central location, great craft beers, and the RWC on tv.

Herbert United States of America

The location was very close to the castle and many shops and restaurants within the walled city. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Sarah United States of America

We loved staying inside the wall. I would’ve liked to have stayed in the old establishment but I know that’s not possible. The food was excellent also!

Brenda United States of America

The room was a goodsize, and seemed to have been recently renovated. Nice big bathroom with a bathtub, which I appreciate.

The Black Boy is a 16th-century inn within Caernarfon's historic town walls. It serves hearty gastro Welsh food and real craft beers in front of roaring log fires and is an easy walk from the town center and 13th-century castle.

The Black Boy Inn dates back to 1522 and is one of the oldest inns in North Wales.

While updating the rooms to a high standard, the property has retained their unique character and atmosphere by using local, traditional building materials with handmade furniture and quality fittings. Some of its walls are 1.2 to 4.9 feet thick. The wood paneling, creaking floorboards, low ceilings, narrow staircases and thick wooden beams create a cozy atmosphere.

Black Jack's is a separate part of the inn and is located in a courtyard to the rear. Eight of these 10 spacious rooms have mini kitchens and a small seating area.

The Black Tower is a listed Edwardian building locate towards the rear of the inn in a separate building. It is a few minutes' walk from Caernarfon Castle.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

      Rooms were hot - even when the temperature outside was not! The room I was in faced on to the courtyard facing the back of the pub and the fans from the kitchen blowing out the fumes. With the window open it can be a bit smelly and noisy.

      Really lovely staff, great food we were there as a group of 10 and even on a bust Sat night the food was excellent. We had a queen suite and it was fantastic with a huge bed, kitchenette and bathroom.
