Easy to find, parking great, lovely clean room. Smelt beautifully fresh and inviting.
I couldn't find the remote for the Telly, but that was not an issues but there was a telly advertised I just couldn't use it.
A little noises from the bar downstairs but that couldn't be helped as it is a working pub also.

It was a very welcoming atmosphere, rooms were clean with little kits and tea making facilities
We had no cold water for one morning but they were apologetic when handed over

Everyone at Y Griffin was extraordinarily helpful, nice, and friendly. The food was delicious, and the room was quite comfortable and clean.
Not one thing
8.0 / 10.0
The friendly staff, namely the bar manager and the chef were both exceptional, warm, friendly and attentive. There was lots of food options and a variety of ‘rooms’ to eat in - ranging from the bar area with the TV to a quieter lounge type area and also what seemed to be a ‘proper’ restaurant area also. They have excellent facilities for children, although can’t really comment as we didn’t have children with us. The room we booked was a family room, we chose this as it was bigger. The furniture was quality and decorated nicely. The bathroom was clean and modern with a large shower.
Only one thing that wasn’t great was the size of the bathroom - it was a little small. It wasn’t a real issue as it had everything in you need however I did really burn my leg on the exceptionally hot towel radiator whilst on the loo! (Due to the space issue) My own fault really but with it being a family room I think the radiator should be lowered. This would not put me off staying again however as the place is exceptional, I would just be more careful!

A very comfortable room, almost newly refurbished I imagine. Loved the extra touches of biscuits and care items in the bathroom. It's a great location, with parking on the street or an off-road bay for customers.
Everything was to my satisfaction.
9.0 / 10.0
The room was a good size, it was clean and tidy and not noisy. The room overlooked the main road so when the windows were open there was traffic noise, but when closed it was very quiet. There was parking at the rear and the staff were both friendly and helpful. It was a good shower in the shower room.
We ate in the hotel for an evening meal and for breakfast. The food in the hotel was very tasty and the service was excellent. The lounge and bar were nice spaces to be in.
The shower room was quiet small, but there was nothing they could have done about that really.

Alas the hotel kitchen was closed the weekend we were there. That was a pity as they advertised home made food which was a big draw for me.
The hotel invited me to get some takeaway and use their facilities to eat this but I preferred to look elsewhere.
I found an Indian restaurant called the Lemon Tree a very short distance away. This only accepted cash but that was no problem as I had "stocked up" with English bank notes and pound coins.
The drawback in the morning was no breakfast. I had tea/coffee in my room so a cuppa and a couple of ginger nuts sufficed until I got the the Spar across the road and picked something up.
The room was very clean and comfortable and the en-suite was a raindrop shower - I love those so was delighted.
To be honest I could complain about the lack of food there but the hotel gave me plenty of notice of this hitch and the Indian was a great wee find. The staff too were very helpful in pointing out where I could get some food locally. I therefore have no complaints.

The weather was extremely bad (Storm Amy) so we cancelled our proposed visit to Portmeirion; as a consequence we arrived at the hotel 2/3 hours earlier than scheduled. The staff were extremely accommodating and gave us access to our room immediately. We had an evening meal and breakfast the following morning both of which were excellent. We found all the staff extremely friendly and accommodating.
We didn't find anything we did not like!

The room was decent and included tea/coffee and biscuits, as well as a sewing kit, a disposable toothbrush and paste set. Decent night's sleep,
Free parking on site is limited.
1 night in a double room at £85.50, which didn't include breakfast, which was disappointing, especially as it was a pub/restaurant hotel.
The shower drain not working properly led to an overflow in the shower bowl.
The only changes I would recommend are that a main light switch be added to the wall next to the bed.
The bed frame was super dodgy in terms of toe crushing risk, so keep your bedroom slippers on.

The room seemed expensive for the size, and didn't even include breakfast.

Everything was great! Excellent value for money. Very clean and comfortable. Ideal location for Portmerion. Tasty food, nice big portions and the delicious breakfast was served until 11am if you needed a lie in. Bar was great and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend Y Griffin.
Nothing. I couldn’t fault it.

The accommodation does not have its parking.
Rooms are NOT noise free.
It is a pub actually with rooms above it and on the weekend nights, it is not a good place to stay.

Good value & really nicely presented, clean room.
A little warm in the room so could do with perhaps a fan?
A little bit noisy from the Pub but we knew that it was an operating Pub when we booked so no real complaints

Very reasonably priced, clean, and only a short drive to Snowdon Mountain Railway, for a 0930 train departure time.

Room was spacious enough. Had lovely little necessities bags there such as toothbrush and toothpaste and earbuds etc which was a nice little extra touch! Shower was lovely and powerful. Lovely food as well! I had the lasagne which you could tell was home cooked!
It was a very hot day which can’t be helped, but it was difficult to get any air flow into the room. I think we were situated by the air vents from the kitchen as well. No parking but street parking / nearby Carpark available .

Very clean, modern & friendly pub. Staff was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble!! Food was stunning and great value for money!!
The club across the road was loud at early hours! Fighting & shouting.
Please do not take this as a negative towards the Y Griffin, the owners & staff couldn’t be more apologetic. I will definitely be returning to Y Griffin for another stay!!

I chose this hotel as it was the best value for the money and near by for visiting family. its a pleasant hotel/pub and very clean and tidy. I was met by a nice lad who showed me everything i needed. they are big rooms and have everything you'll need for one or two nights.
Unfortunately for the hotel, though not due to their actions, sleep quality was affected by noise from a nightclub across the road. This may be a local noise issue, as it had a noticeable impact on sleep, even for those who typically are not light sleepers. Additionally, the kettle in the room switched on and off during the night while empty. The check-out process was brief, with no opportunity provided for immediate feedback regarding these issues.

We had an excellent one-night stay. The hotel has clearly been updated to a high standard and feels very modern and new. Everything was spotlessly clean, from the common areas to our room. The room itself was comfortable and stylishly decorated. A real highlight was the food in the restaurant; our meals were delicious and exceeded expectations. The convenient, free on-site parking was also a major plus. This is a great choice for anyone visiting the area.
All was well.

The room was decorated very tastefully and had a modern look. Loved the extra touches with water and also the travel toothbrush set.
The food was super and big portions.
The TV in room 4 kept randomly turning on! I had to get up at midnight to turn it completely off at the wall.
I didn’t realise the pub stayed open later than 11 on a weekend, my fault for not checking, if I’d have checked, we wouldn’t have stayed as my daughter had to be up early on the Sunday.

Food was e cells t and the staff were very helpful Even though there was no Sunday breakfast they didn’t hesitate when we asked for a bacon roll and coffee.
There was a pair of dirty socks left in the room and these k leaked. We had to ask for towels as none had been supplied but they were apologetic and brought some straight away.

The rooms were newly refurbished and in immaculate condition
A fan in the room would be a good idea as if you leave the window open, you can hear the shouting from the nightlife below in the middle of the night as it is above a pub.
