Waterloo Hotel Lodge

Waterloo Hotel Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This was a perfect stay for exploring Snowdonia! The rooms were clean, beds comfortable (especially after a day of hiking), and the leisure centre was excellent for relaxing and recovery (again, after a day of hiking). The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The restaurant food was yummy. I had the chicken and burger over two nights. My partner who is vegetarian had the curry. I suppose the only thing to note is there is just one vegetarian main (not including the pizzas) on the menu, so if you’re vegetarian, just note that. Though my partner did really enjoy the veggie curry! It’s also very walkable (~15 min) to other restaurants and pubs in the town. Parking on site was a huge help to not have to worry about that. It does have EV parking, which we didn’t need but noted for next time if we rent an EV instead. We looked it up and there are good overnight charge rates, so it’s probably a great option - again we didn’t have an EV this time, but would take advantage if we did it again. Overall an excellent stay and highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Snowdonia or just have a relaxing time in a beautiful retreat."
