Group of 6 of us and all agreed we really enjoyed our stay. Well appointed, comfy seating in reception, well stocked bar and food was amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable, decorated well with plenty of drawers/wardrobe. Bathroom was spacious with a big shower, lovely soft towels.Tea/coffee and toiletries provided . Staff all very friendly , great service. Bus stop 5 mins away, bus service very good. Area is so peaceful but The Slate is busy with guests and locals great atmosphere 👌 5 miles from zipworld.

Wouldn't say it bothered us really, but no local shop or other pubs in area. Nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of a busy town that are easily accessible by bus or car.

We had a lovely stay at The Slate. We were welcomed in a friendly and helpful manner, which made us feel comfortable right away. The hotel is nicely situated and is a great starting point for walks in the surrounding area. Bangor is easy to reach by bus or via a scenic footpath. Our room was comfortable, with a good bed and a nice bathroom with a pleasant shower. The hotel also offers convenient options for food and drinks. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for one night due to travel plans, but we would gladly return for a longer visit. A very nice place to stay.

Ideal, quiet, residential location for exploring surrounding area, with ample off road parking space. Cosy clean accommodation with very friendly, helpful staff. There was a relaxed, friendly attitude in the public areas. The cooked breakfast was huge and tasty.

The water temperature often ran far too hot during showering without adjusting the temperature. Maybe affected by users elsewhere in the building? We didn't eat there in the evening as read that portion sizes were big, which didn't suit our appetites.

Jill and her team were so lovely and welcoming! very friendly and attentive. the restaurant food was A-ma-zing!!! Breakfast was also brilliant. The bar was lovely with a great atmosphere where locals and guests enjoyed Friday evening together. we travelled a very long way (4.5hours) for a wedding to stay here and if we came again, we would defo stay here! stunning part of the world!! (bring your big coat though).

Given everything else was so good, these are minor... the towels are on the tiny side so I would've liked bigger ones, and the shower did tend to fluctuate in temperature which wasn't very relaxing, albeit not unmanageable.

Welcome and service was friendly and efficient. Food quality very good indeed - much locally sourced - as was the local draft real ale. Room was clean and everything worked well. Bed was comfortable.

The room needed a bit of an update and certainly needed a desk & chair. The room was small, but there was room as there was both a large chest of drawers and a hanging cupboard - as I imagine most stays are only for a day or two this space could have been better utilised. TV was a bit old and the WiFi was adequate, but only just. As I was there for work, I found these things a bit limiting. Wasn't very keen about having to choose breakfast on booking in, but I understand why, given their limited staffing.

Very comfortable bed (I’ve long term injuries to my back). Staff are brilliant, from the moment I arrived to departure. For me they have the perfect balance, checking you have everything you need from them in a pleasant, relaxed manner. I had the breakfast each morning and it was delicious, so I had the full Welsh everyday. A help yourself table with juice and cereal etc… My son and his girlfriend joined me at the restaurant for an evening meal. Although a reduced menu due to it being homemade curry night, we all received perfectly cooked meals. One opted for curry and two had meals off the menu. All of us said our meals were delicious.

The weather wasn’t too good. I had one day were I could enjoy sitting outside at one of the numerous picnic tables they have available. I’m unable to comment on the bar and lounge, as I’m not a drinker, I didn’t use it. However, it looked like a pleasant place as I passed by and I’m sure the staff’s approach would make it a nice place to sit, with a drink.

Excellent from the moment we checked in, ladies on reception welcomed us with a smile and never failed to be helpful,the food in the evening was excellent as was the breakfast.The room was very clean and the bed comfortable.All the staff at The Slate were 10/10 right down to the young waitress in the evening who waited on our table.

The room we had was at the back of the property and so we had the noise of the trains and I assumed as i booked the last room it was the smaller room and with not the best view just the shed and bit of a backyard/garden that wasn’t very tidy!! but that said I would definitely stay again as it was good value

The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful; she took my breakfast order and remembered my room number when I asked to make a dining reservation later. She even helpfully came to tell me that I had left my car lights on whilst I was dining, saving me a flat battery. It was a lovely setting with views of the hills of the national park, and in the afternoon I was able to sit outside the front of the premises with my book and a cold drink from the bar. Although there is a train line nearby, it does not detract and did not disturb my sleep, even with my window open. Morning breakfast was hot filling and tasty, although the coffee was rather weak. Would happily return.

This is a lovely place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and friendly. All staff were lovely, relaxed and helpful. Free parking on site. The room was an adequate size and decent bathroom. Being an older property, there was a little creakyness and narrow hallways. Sounds from the hallway and other guests in the hallways cannot be helped. The breakfast and evening meal we had was superb and amazing value for money. The bar was just right for a chilled evening drink. This was a great find and welcoming to come back to after a day exploring Wales. We would definitely recommend this hotel, bar and restaurant.

Some noisier guests in the hallways were not lowering their voices at night or closing doors quietly. Not a criticism for the venue, but rather the guests we had at that time

Lovely friendly staff Very clean car parking nice lil pub style garden to sit in

I personally couldn't justify the breakfast for 15 pounds. The room was very small, it made moving around each other difficult as we would have to step into a gap several times to get to and from the bathroom which can get annoying getting ready in the morning. The gap in front of the toilet is again very small for movement. For the price being the same as the other two places we stayed in, it just didn't compare as good, hence the 8, not 10. The window didn't open much to cool it down, although the main road near was noisy, so I had to shut it to sleep anyway.
