Called in this morning for breakfast (checking out local places as our son has just moved to llanberis) It was fantastic. Service was excellent, we were made very welcome. The breakfast was excellent and very reasonably priced, it included drinks, toast etc too - best in the area so far Highly recommend. We will definitely return
Have been in Llanberis for weekend and visited the Padarn Sports Bar attached to the hotel daily. Lovely atmosphere, great light and furniture features!. Great place to meet other holidayers to share experiences.
Friendly and helpful staff with great local knowledge make this a great place to stay. Best cooked breakfast I've had in a while, too, with unlimited coffee refills, which is perfect for fuelling up for a day's travel
We had an excellent stay at the Padarn Hotel. Perfectly situated only a few minutes from the Llanberis path up Snowdon, the hotel provided clean rooms and excellent service. David, the manager, was particularly friendly and helpful.
Spent the night at the Padarn Hotel when doing the 3 peaks. We were very well looked after by Dave. Food and hospitality was great. Rooms were a great size and very comfortable.
It's been a while since I've eaten at a place which not only has amazing food, but the staff were amazing too. The friendlyness, competence and professionalism of the staff were simply exceptional! They have a lovely outside area, and the indoor dining area is nice too. Will probably stay here next time we visit Llanberis. Cannot recommend enough.
We had a great stay at the Padarn overall. The central location and restaurant downstairs were absolutely the highlights. A short walk from the start of the Llanberis Path, a One Stop just down the road and plenty of local pubs and takeaways nearby. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The food and local drinks were without fault, helped by the massive portions I think. My only detractors were the stiff mattress, which didn’t matter much after my first trip up and down Yr Wyddfa, and the room could benefit from blackout blinds. Other than these picky bits we had a great time and would stay again.
Great hotel. Staff nice and friendly. Dog friendly. Good wholesome meals. David The Boss was super accommodating and welcoming (thanks for the car park). Highly recommend. Already planning our next visit.
Set on the High Street close to the foot of Snowdon mountain, this unpretentious hotel is a 7-minute walk from Padam Lake and the Snowdon Mountain Railway, and 15 minutes' walk from the 13th-century Dolbadarn Castle.
