Nice weekend in Porthmadog.
Very clean, service friendly and welcoming. Particularly enjoyed the three evening meals. Our only regret was the poor weather we had.

Birthday visit
Room clean and comfortable, the only issue we had was the bed sliding about with the slightest touch. Great breakfast and evening meal just a bit too small a portion for the cheeseboard.Loved the vegan schnitzel! Parking was easy and hotel was in a good location.

The hotel was convenient for the things we wanted to do. We found the staff very friendly & willing to help in any way they could.
We were able to park at the hotel but I’m aware this might have been an issue.

Enjoyable stay in Porthmadog
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sportsman. It is true that the rooms are quite compact but we had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The bed was comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist with parking and a special breakfast request. The breakfast is excellent with a good range of choice. We ate at the hotel on two evenings and the quality of the food and service were brilliant. Porthmadog was a great place to stay and we would certainly return to the Royal Sportsman without hesitation!

Great position on the high street which is quite long with plenty of shops. The building stands out on the high street from other buildings close by. The only down side was the mould around the bath taps and the bottom of the shower door on the top of the bath, has you sit on the toilet you look directly at the mould which is very off putting.

Our room had recently been upgraded to a lovely standard but hadn't been cleaned, dust, cobwebs and mould in the bathroom. There was rain water pouring in to the covered patio making the exit from our room an accident waiting to happen. The beds were lovely and clean and the staff excellent.

Comfortable bed. POORLY insulated room .Adjacent rooms snoring all night. Room was in a courtyard .Public walk way had full view of room/ bed when opened . Strange curtain arrangement , on the inside , to cover door/ window .Bathroom door would not close ,due to warped door frame . Female bar person persisted in throwing , loudly, empty bottles in bin under the bar counter .. Breakfast and breakfasts staff , excelent .
