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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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
