Wonderful

Location was good, hotel was lovely apart from the noise of the railway line. For future this should be recorded on your booking info, the window didn’t open much and the room was too hot to sleep
Lovely little place with plenty of outdoor seating for a drink from the bar. Good location for getting around sightseeing.
Breakfast was good and staff were pleasant and polite.
Room was nice with ample wardrobe and draw space.
Only downside was the room was very hot and the fan didn’t make a great deal of difference. Due to heat in the room we couldn’t shut the window and the noise from the kitchen extractor and the railway line immediately behind caused some sleep disruption.
Would stay again but would ask for a different room.
Really friendly and helpful staff .. food was really good quality, well cooked and well presented.
The room was clean spacious and the bed really comfortable
Room was pristinely clean. Beds were comfortable. Nice en suite bathroom with good shower. Facilities to make a hot drink were replenished on request. Staff were friendly without being intrusive. Didn't eat supper in the restaurant because veggie options were limited. Breakfast was awesome. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone wanting accommodation in the area. Very close to Penrhyn castle and Bangor centre.
A great find and amazing value for money for the single room available for my stay. The only downside is the nearness of the north Wales mainline train service, if you are a light sleeper. I was conscious of a passing train at around 0530 but went back to sleep.
Food was excellent - both dinner and breakfast.

Great service, fantastic food and a great location, rooms were nice also, would recommend
Everything was great! Nothing bad to point out. If I had to nit pick, I'd say the "Rock" keyrings are a bit bulky to carry in your trousers. Apart from that nothing else, the Staff was really friendly!
The Slate is a hotel full of charm and warmth, clearly run with love and care. We enjoyed a comfortable and relaxed stay. The restaurant serves delicious food and we were in a great location to enjoy north Wales, with lots to do nearby. Thoroughly recommend!
We stayed here last year and we were impressed with this hotel.
Our recent stay, did not disappoint- friendly staff, comfortable, clean room and excellent meal with great service.
This hotel is a perfect stop over if you have an early ferry the next day, as it is only 25 minutes from the port
From the start Staff were very friendly rooms are clean and well appointed.
The food menu choice was excellent to the point it was difficult to choose a dish. The food was well cooked and presented with a decent portion for a change. The fact that so many locals were eating there showed their reputation for good food was well known
On the whole great value and I hope I will get a chance to stay again
