Overview

We are here at Llandudno to enjoy the break available at this famous holiday resort, with its views over Liverpool Bay, and its sandy coast, with the backdrop of the Great Orme headland, and the pier that lies below. With its Victorian character, which houses the only hotel in Llandudno that has a swimming pool, and a health centre, a fine gym fitness centre, sauna and steam rooms. The Chantreys restaurant with its AA Rosette award is an ideal place for dinner, while a more relaxed dinner may be taken in “The Terrace” with views overlooking the bay. This elegant 4 star rated classic hotel with a Victorian facade, reminiscent of times gone bye with its original charm, has a central position on the promenade overlooking Liverpool Bay. It has 98 bedrooms, which includes four delightful suites with excellent sea views looking over towards bay and the “Great Orme”. Many other rooms also have lovely views, some of the 5th floor rooms have private balconies with table and chairs provided. A number of accessible rooms with walk in-showers may be booked in advance, but these fill up quickly, so book early. These have lift access directly by the reception desk. These rooms are spacious, with a good wet room, everything is cleaned Dailey, towels and toiletries regularly replaced, Four stylish beautiful suites have their own lounges, separate bathrooms, offering outstanding space, with delightful sea views. The finest room is 114, a corner bay window first floor suite, “The MOSTYN SUITE” ( PLEASE READ OUR SEPERATE REVIEW, “ GUEST SUITE 114 “ on Euan’s Guide. This is not an accessible room, but very spacious, with a separate lounge area and its own bedroom. It’s has a bath, with overhead shower, but a small 6 inch step. Note however, room 108 which has lovely views looking towards the headland and Great Orme, while you enjoy the view while sitting at the large bay window. The other sash window offers same view from the large bedroom. But unfortunately, SPOTLIGHTS illuminate the room, the light directly into the window, straight into your face. The curtains do not protect you, however It does go off at 11.30. We are able to provide a little help and guidelines with other floors and their rooms. Sea facing 5th floor rooms have their own balconies, as well as being reasonably large. Room 412 offers sea views, large bathroom, but not accessible, and a little tired looking. Room 434 is a good size, plenty of room in the bathroom, with a bath with overhead shower. Room 301 is a standard double, plenty of space, very comfortable, with a walk in shower. However, it overlooks the rear carpark Room 310 is front sea facing views, but a little tired looking, with a large bathroom, but not accessible. Rooms 324 and 326 are rather crammed with small double bed, and not accessible rooms.

Transport & Parking

Difficult as there are not many spaces, so nearly always full. Street parking is just as hard to find spaces, and nearest carpark is at the main station, and that’s nearly always full.

Access

From the hotels carpark, there is a side door entry, but corridor is narrow to get to lift, and then the lift is very small, only a wheelchair can get inside, large scooters will not get in it. However, you can leave carpark and walk around the rear of hotel and along towards promenade where you will find a ramp leading up to main entrance, with a push wooden doorway which you will need carers help to get you in. There is a main lift available, just beyond reception area, and although larger than rear lift, it still isn’t that big, and large scooters users should check size with reaction before booking a room.

Toilets

Unknown, as used bedroom facilities.

Staff

Helpful, pleasant willing to support staff, and many reviewers offer positive remarks about all the staff.
