Location is great, room was very big, bar downstairs.

No hot water in the sink, shower soaked the bathroom, only 2 TV channels worked, WiFi code no where to be found, and karaoke until 2am friday, singing and loud until 2am Saturday. Room was cold, heater wasnt of much use.

Never again go on a weekend

Beautiful location

I didn’t read information that there is party pub opened until 2am and my room was just above. It was so noisy. Being in bed was like lying on the loudest bass speaker

Our choice was based upon convenient access to castle. We would not choose to stay there again.

Location , tea/coffee in room

No offering of breakfast. Towels not ready when we arrived, but available later. Noisy at night when time to sleep. No fan. We opened window.

6.0 / 10.0

Location was outstanding for why we were in Caernarfon, large comfy room, comfy bed but noisy!

I must admit, I thought I had found a bargain. My daughter was running the Caernarfon half-marathon and Y Castell is located on the square where the race started. Just check out and walk straight to registration. The room was on the 1st floor, PLENTY of space. Bed was a long way from the tv which was on the other wall. Shower was decent enough (did lose "pressure" so went cold - it's an electric shower!). The bed was quite comfy.

Did not really get a "warm" welcome. The first thing I was told was "you know we open late and it gets noisy right? It says so on the website!". Well NO, I did not know this. You have to expand (if using a mobile phone as I was) the "The fine print" right at the bottom of the booking page to be told "the property has a late license and as a result guests should expect the bar to be busy until the early hours of the morning on weekends." At about 2100 on Saturday night, the noise was quite tollerable, no thumping loud music, however, we were woken up by very loud patrons who were under the influence outside the window in the early hours. There were a lot of banging doors. So, headphones were put on and we tried to get back to sleep. Then from 5am there were clean up crews and/or people setting up for the half-marathon - they were not using quiet voices at that time in the morning, but that's not Y Castell's fault! Headphones back on until alarm at 7am. There was a bit of mold at the top of the shower as there is no expelair or ourside window. There was a funny smell in the toilet, could not work out what it was. There is NO parking onsite. You are not even allowed to park outside to drop off bags etc, well thats what I was told when I phoned Y Castell, but when we arrived on foot, plenty of people were parking in the square! But like they say, you take your chances about getting a parking ticket. There is "cheap" parking behind on I think it;s called St Helen's Road - we paid £5.10 for 24 hours with Just Park.

Would not recommend

Menu looked nice, although we didn't eat there. Central Location. Basic rooms but clean

Wifi wouldn't work. TV would not work. Very little sleep. You could hear everything from every room. There was a raucous going on all night. A row happening all night long. Doors slamming all night long. I gave up trying to sleep and at 3am I just got up. The next day I spoke to my colleague who also stayed and had no sleep either, they said that the person that was going mental was actually a staff member. It was horrendous.

5.0 / 10.0

Not a pleasant stay I'm sorry to say

The central location

The pictures on the website look good but after visiting and staying the deco is tired, Staines on the walls, dusty, rubbish not removed from bathroom bin from previous guests, decoration cushions on bed stained, overall standard of cleaning not acceptable, for the current appearance of the room half the price. With fierce competition for business everywhere the location is good but they are missing a trick when it comes to cleanliness and updating the room, I feel if this was achieved they could double their bookings.

Not a good place to stay

The location was the only good thing

We didn’t have a toilet seat and one roll of toilet paper. Tv wouldn’t work and couldn’t open the windows.

Best time of our lives

The view from our window was amazing could watch the sea go in and out and knew what times it would be. The room was amazing and so clean and fresh. And also made sure to top us with coffee etc which I didnt have to go ask you did it before we came back each day thank you.

Staying next to the Castle

Staff were very friendly the room was nice and big Shower was nice and hot Location was fantastic in the town square next to the castle Food in the hotel was good at a reasonable price and the drinks were nice and cold

The window in the room needed a little repair so you could open it for ventilation to the room The bathroom needed a exhaust fan as it gets a little streamy when you have a shower But those are very small issues if I was back in Caernarfon I will stay at the Y Castle again

3.0 / 10.0

Dreadful and dirty and smelly.

Situation

In need of renovation.Run by young people whose friends all congregated at the bar at night with the karaoke. We felt as if we were in the way of a party hotel. No one in attendance at night. We were told by one person that on the day we leave to leave keys on table and make sure the door is shut behind us which didn’t seem very professional. The cleaner who cleaned the hotel stayed after shift and ended up drunk and had to go home in a taxi. Would never return to this hotel again.

Central location in the market square near the castle, harbour, cafes, shops, etc.

Central location, really big room, I was able to keep my bicycle inside.

The room was dated and needed some TLC, but this was reflected in the price.

Simple and comfy, great location.

Basic facilities, comfy bed, kettle with tea & coffee and bottle of water provided. Rooms on first and second floor, accessed by stairs only. Central location on the square close to the castle.

No lift if needed. Bathroom needed decorating. We didn't mind, but the rooms were above a pub open till 2 am.

9.0 / 10.0

Simple, comfortable and does what it says on tin!

Simple yet effective, located in the heart of Caernarfon right next to the castle, room was spacious and clean, bed was really comfortable, and facilities downstairs are as you would expect a pub, a word of warning this was a stay during the week, I do suspect if staying here over the weekend it could be rather loud, but at the time we stayed it was perfectly fine, staff were super helpful and friendly, Diolch yn Fawr! 😁

Some parts of the bathroom felt dated and worn, but it is not something I found any issue with, as it had limited to no impact on our stay and it was clean no matter what
