Top Bala Hotel Reviews

Inn at the Falls

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this hotel was lovely. Friendly staff, great location overlooking the lake & a very short walk into town. Plenty of choice for breakfast. We were on a bit of a road trip & stayed in 8 hotels, this was by far our favourite. Plenty to do in the area within 30 mins drive & we had planned to go out exploring. However, we'd been on the go for a while & the hotel was so peaceful we just stayed local, had a walk around the town & along the lake then chilled in the garden. Perfect!"
