The Royal Victoria Hotel Snowdonia  

Nestled at the foot of the Llanberis Pass under the shadow of Snowdon, this hotel sits on the edge of Snowdonia National Park in Llanberis, Gwynedd. Set within 30 acres of gardens and woodland between Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, it’s a base for mountain mornings and lake-side hikes.

Rooms are spacious with modern amenities like TV, telephone, heating, tea/coffee maker and hairdryer. Executive rooms add bathrobes and slippers for a touch of luxe. Reception operates with limited opening hours, so guests are asked to advise arrival details when booking.

Three on-site restaurants, a bar and a residents’ lounge keep things sociable after a day on the trails. Wander 30 acres of gardens and woodland or park easily with ample on-site parking. Wireless internet access is available across the property — wake up to Snowdon views and stay connected.

Five meeting and conference rooms plus wireless internet make this a solid pick for small conferences and group stays.

Dining options include three restaurants serving breakfast and dinner, a lively bar and a residents’ lounge for relaxed evenings onsite.
