The Royal Ship is a friendly hospitable family run hotel in an ideal location. The dated decor is part of the charm. The place was very clean and our room large and comfortable.One lovely touch is the provision of a teapot. The shower was a bit of a challenge as it had to be hand held. We forgot to mention... More

We visited The Royal Ship Hotel with our two young children as part of a KGB deal and had low expectations. We were so pleasantly surprised as we were made very welcome right from check in until we departed. There was a free parking space directly opposite the hotel which made it very convenient to pack and unpack luggage and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on a 'group buying' deal. The idea is to get something worth £xxx for £xx. What we actually got was what we paid for, which defeats the object. The bathroom smelt mouldy. The shower was awful - broken, too hot then too cold and dribbled pathetically. The bedroom walls and the stool were stained.... More

We had a short break at this hotel situated in a small town close to the Snowdonia National Park and coastline. In truth the hotel could do with a little tlc this would then create a far better feeling about the property . The room was okay and the food was good but the real plus for this hotel is... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights on a KGB deal. When I booked the room pictures online looked ok. The hotel is in a good location, has fantastic views, friendly, helpful staff and offers a good breakfast however it is greatly let down by the state of the bedrooms. Our initial room was a double but no... More

My wife and i stayed for 2 nights on a Groupon deal, we found the staff lovely and friendly and the Hotel clean and tidy. The food was good especially the breakfast which was of a very high standard. The only complaint was the mattress which was very hard, but we would certainly book again if we visit the area... More

Just returned from a one night stay at The Royal Ship Hotel. The room we were allocated was nice, with a lovely view out across the square. It was clean, but a little bit dated (this did not spoil our stay). Dolgellau is a very pretty little place, and great for walkers, and the surrounding scenery is lovely. Barmouth, which... More
