Nice room, good breakfast. Free parking outside. Bathroom looked amazing but the door was a little hard to open from the outside, probably a better door handle would help? Plumbing a little noisy too.

We had an excellent stay at Caer Menai. It's in a great central location and perfect as a base for exploring Caernarfon and Snowdonia. Our twin room was comfortable, modern and clean. Breakfast was lovely. Karen and Mark were very good hosts - gave a warm welcome and keen to offer tips and advice. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
