A disaster of a hotel, no hot water available and limited heating…. After returning from a Snowdon climb all we wanted was a hot shower, shouldn’t have been difficult however no hot water available and even after reporting this to the landlady, who stated, just let the water run, we reported again only to then ascertain they had a boiler issue and the landlady’s husband actually started to get the matter resolved, still no hot water was available until the following morning..! The landlady’s attitude was appalling, from reading other reviews, we weren’t the first guests to deal with her roth.! Maybe a lesson in customer service wouldn’t have gone a miss.!

Once again a great stay with great hosts Adam and Helen to say nothing of pooch Pablo. We always enjoy coming here - so friendly and relaxed and this trip was boosted by amazing weather - absolutely extraordinary with clear blue skies offering wonderful views

Hidden Gem or Duster Required
Hidden in the heart of Snowdonia, Elen’s Castle Hotel promises adventure, stunning views, and a warm welcome… but is it worth your pot o’ gold? 🍀
We Travelling Leprechauns checked in for a night, ready for a magical stay. Here’s what we found:
✅ Location – GOLD COIN! A dream spot for hikers & adventurers!
✅ Staff – GOLD COIN! Friendlier than a pub on St. Paddy’s Day!
✅ Facilities – GOLD COIN! Cosy, charming, and full o’ character!
✅ Comfort – GOLD COIN! Slept like a leprechaun on a pile o’ gold!
Cleanliness – OH DEAR… Dust be gatherin’ like it’s settlin’ in for winter!
£125 a night – Worth it or too dear for what ye get?
Would we stay again? Aye, but we’d pack a feather duster next time!

Great Accommodation with Great Service.
Really good service from the moment we arrived.
Offered to dry our soggy clothes from a snowdon trip and also kept the bar open as long as we wanted on the night.
Will definitely be back!

Stayed 2 nights at Ellen’s castle. Rooms are dated but it was lovely and clean. We eat there both nights and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend the garlic mushrooms as a starter absolutely delicious. Adam the owner was very friendly and very accommodating, his wife Helen on the other hand very rude. When we paid she just told us how much it was and pointed the card machine at us , no did you have a nice time or thank you…. She was just as rude when serving the breakfast. It’s clear she has enough of been part of the business but it’s not the customers fault, by the way are paying customers. Such a shame because I would have gone back but not after the way Helen treated us.

The location is great, so close to walks and picture postcard views. Parking is ample opposite the hotel. Inside the accommodation looks a little tired. The rooms too. The beds were very un comfortable, with the springs making it a bad night's sleep. All in all we had a lovely break in North Wales, but wish we had spent a little more or done more research on we're to stay.
