Our stay at Y Capel was wonderful! We loved the heritage associated with the building. Our room was large and clean. The bathroom seemed to have been recently updated and the shower was awesome. The common area was lovely with extra amenities. Check-in at the Erskine Arms (immediately across the road) was quick and easy. Breakfast was included (at the Erskine Arms), and it was delicious with lots of choice. Y Capel is a wonderful spot for exploring all the sites of Conwy. We would highly recommend it.
We had only two minor complaints during our stay. First, the heated towel rack seemed awkwardly situated on the wall opposite the toilet so we kept knocking our heads on the rack when standing up (the bathroom was quite narrow) but we eventually got used to avoiding it! The other minor inconvenience was there is no air conditioning; however, a large fan was supplied which suited our needs but may not be sufficient during warmer months or for people who like it very cool.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The shower was very nice. The restaurant was cozy and felt like a local pub. The food was incredible (we had the chicken, scotch eggs and the duck hash brown). The staff was incredibly nice. Nothing but great things to share about this stay.
The location was fantastic, right in the middle of Conwy with free secure parking. The room was pristine and had everything we could have needed for our stay and more. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious
Excellent accommodation, clean room with little touches. Breakfast was amazing good choice with friendly service. Ideal location in centre with car parking.
We traveled 5 weeks and this was our favorite place to stay. Restaurant bar super! Breakfast outstanding! We’d live there if our our grandkids weren’t in the U.S.
Good dining options in Erskine Arms, sister property pub across the street

Great Place
This is a really great place, convenient, good quality, someone has put a lot of thought into the design. Food is Good - and could be great. Breakfast really good & choice of ales & wines good. Rooms were really well thought through with some lovely touches but let down by very average quality bed linen & pillows that had seen better days, one wasn’t enough & 2 too many. En suite was lovely but again let down by needing a deep clean. Didn’t quite get the resident thing right - no where to sit and gave a drink before dinner although knew we were residents - Would however defo give it a 2nd chance next time we are in beautiful Conwy.
Super cute property with lots of amenities, very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable suite. Loved the balcony. Great breakfast. Loved Conwy. Small but charming town. Castle is awesome and right there!!
Many positives and the only reason I am scoring 3/5 overall is that the mattresses need to be seriously upgraded. Room 5 mattress was brutal… hard… springs pressing in your back/side. Not a good sleep.
Y Capel has been fitted out beautifully and to a high standard. We stayed in one of the upper floor rooms which was large and still has the original wooden beams that formed the chapel ceiling. Our only gripe would be the mattress was not the comfiest but apart from that we were very happy and would happily stay there again.
