Top Dolwyddelan Hotel Reviews

Waterloo Hotel Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at Waterloo several times and have always found it very pleasant. The staff are helpful, clean rooms and good breakfast. The pool and gym facilities are good. Nothing fancy or pretentious but they get the basics right and the price is fair. Will likely be staying again."

Quay Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a wonderful continental atmosphere and proved to be an excellent choice for our short break. From arrival to departure, the staff were consistently friendly, polite and attentive, always willing to help and ensuring that nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a spacious Deluxe Room overlooking the estuary, which was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well presented. We also enjoyed both breakfast and dinner during our stay, with the quality of the food being very good and the service prompt, efficient and courteous. My only minor observation was the lack of conveniently positioned USB charging sockets near the bed, which would have been a useful addition. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel."
