The Dragon Hotel and Restaurant

Dirty,smelly uncomfortable ,cheap greasy slow breakfast possible the worst B and b in Wales or anywhere .Some reviews like their Chinese restaurant, do not confuse this with the truely dreadful guest house operation.The next night we had a wonderful Betsy’s coed B and b

Firstly I want to say that the Mrs and I have stayed in quite a few places over the years but this is the first time I have written a review but felt that we needed to this time I'll start with the positives, location is great, view from the room lovely and the bed was really comfy. Now unfortunately for the negatives, from the outside its clear the hotel has seen better days, it just looked tired and unloved. So upon entering the hotel you are met with a smell of damp, followed by a cluttered reception area, door to the stairs didn't open fully and looked like it had been sawed in half and was put back together with some 3x2. The upstairs hallway was old and tatty and the doors to the rooms and private areas had paint flaking off. The room itself was a decent size, 2 different lots of wallpaper (not sure it was intentional), the carpet was old stained and crumpled in places. The ceiling was painted very poorly with just the first 12 inches painted freshly at the edges and then dirty yellow for the rest of it. We stayed for 2 nights and had an early trip planned after the first so didn't have a breakfast in the morning just as well as when I did get one after the second night it was poor, the table clothes were full of crumbs, the condiments were spread about the room like a wheres wally puzzle, not sure where the cold drinks were kept but they weren't in the dining area, classes cups and cutlery were dirty. The breakfast itself was poorly cooked and must have been continually reheated as we were the only 2 there and all I could hear was the microwave pinging. It's such a shame as with a bit of work this could be such a great place. I would not recommend it at all in this state it needs more effort from the current owners or to simply pass to new owners who have the vision and drive to make it great again.

Weekend with friends shame about the hotel Worn out dirty and damp certainly not worth £90 per night not even £20 We booked 3 rooms one was so bad my friend moved to another hotel, requested a refund but told in no uncertain words NO

Disappointing hotel Very tired and dated hotel. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean but needed updating. This hotel is clearly in decline though the staff member was helpful and polite. Food was okay too, we only had breakfast as the restaurant side was closed down. Our room overlooked the main road into the river opposite so wasn't a mountain view as first stated. Wouldn't stay again unless it was updated.

B&B not an hotel with a restaurant or bar. Advertised as having a restaurant and lounge bar. Both are now closed, so it's really just a B&B. I wouldn't have booked here if I had been aware of this as this meant we had to find somewhere else to eat and get a drink, which I hate having to do. I had to phone twice to get access to check in as place was locked. Seems to be run by one lady on her own. Hotel very dated and tired. We had to clean the shower head as it was covered in mould before we could use it. Cobwebs above bed and side wall lights heavy with dust. Breakfast was very good though. Really needs advertised description updated urgently.

Decent stay for 2 nights Overall we had a decent stay. Great location only a few minutes walk into Betwys y Coed. The building, carpets and rooms are a little tired and would benefit from a lick of paint and some modernisation. Our en suite bathroom, which was small, had a sliding door which wasn't the most private or hygienic. The sink was in the main room therefore you had to leave the toilet to wash your hands. The hotel's parking spots were all in use whilst we were there and so we parked for free on the public road outside but beware, these are first come, first served and you can't be guaranteed a spot. Staff were polite and friendly. Good and plentiful breakfast.
