    Disgusting place
    On arrival the place smelt and we heard the chef hacking his guts up. This isn't what you want to hear when your meant to be eating in a few hours time. When we got to the room we discovered it was filthy, dusty covered in mold and smelt. Me and my partner went downstairs and…

    Bad experience
    We had one night here for our wedding anniversary as a treat on a Groupon deal. This was to include dinner breakfast and an hour in the spa. We arrived the room was awful in need of a bloody good clean and decorate. Mould in the corner chair ripped carpet stained. Our shower…

    Filthy spa room
    We were gifted a spa and cream tea experience, on arrival we were told there had been a mix up with the booking, so the hot tub hadn't been heated up. The manager asked us to have our cream tea first which we did. Nearly an hour later we were told the hot tub was ready, we went…

    Response from Deanna D, Owner at Glan Aber Hotel & Bunkhouse
    Responded 1 week ago
    Dear Rachel, Thanks for reviewing us and so sorry for your experience. I can assure you that it is not the normal experience - people have been loving our sauna & spa. As you mention there had unfortunately been a mix up with the booking and we were not expecting you, so the spa had not been adequately cleaned or had enough time to heat up. We do sincerely apologize for that. For your information there is a shower room just outside the sauna. We would love you to come back and we will ensure you have a good experience, maybe you could ring reception and ask for Sam or Lee and we will get you booked back in for free. Thanks Lee

    Good position
    The Glen Aber is ideally situated in the centre of Betws y Coed on the main road. We had a double room at the front and was not disturbed by any road noise. The room was adequate and the bed comfortable, although the en - suite bathroom was too cold as there was no heating in…

    "Ask for a front facing room as the back has no view."
    "Make sure room is not above kitchen area."
    "Bunkhouse is clean warm and a shower"
    "The front rooms are in the oldest part of the hotel with more period character. The rooms further back were more modern and contemporary."
    "avoid the bunkhouse"
