We wanted an affordable option in the north of Wales to use as a base to explore the area and the Menai Hotel really fulfilled all our needs. The room was big for the two of us and it was serviced when we asked the staff to do so. We had to fill in a sheet breakfast the day before. There was both cooked and uncooked food and everything went according to what we asked for. We had to leave early on our last day and they prepared a "packed breakfast" for us. The staff were welcoming and friendly. During our stay everything was very quiet and we could have a very nice sleep.

There could be some more light both in the bathroom and the room and the water pressure could be a bit stronger, but these are really minor issues considering the overall experience.

Good value, large clean room with TV and the Tea/Coffee making in the room was very generous. Bath with Shower in the On-suite. Bar down stairs was very accomodating and handy for a few drinks. Tables laid up for breakfast by room number and cooked breakfast was very welcome. Good service by all staff.

Shower pressure on second floor was little low, but temperature easy to control and we could shower. SatNav didn't cope with the one way roads so suggest having a look ahead and have an idea for best route to find Hotel. It was easy from the main road if only the Satnav had gone that way.

So don’t be put off, yes it’s a bit dated and the decor could so with a freshen, buts its value for money and the staff are brilliant, so we had the triple room (10) a trio of windows like the bridge of a ship give a view across the Menai straight and on the day we were there a beautiful sunset, the two windows either side tilt open and allow the room to ventilate beautifully and the evening we stayed as it rained in the middle of the night, that sleeping, cosy comforting sound of soft summer rain, made the sleep very cosy. The beds were basic but comfy, nice mattress, great pillows, nice clean duvets, fresh white towels, free toiletries soap, shampoo and body wash, the over bath shower was not an Amazon shower, but you can wash, tea, coffee, even green tea, milk all provided and on top of that a continental and cooked breakfast pre ordered the night before and all served to your table in the main bar in the morning, in all don’t expect the ritz but you’ll be happy and happier when you see the price, also free parking right outside the front door !

Bit dated in decor, lights could be brighter and shower stronger

Initial impressions very poor but never judge a book by its cover, from the outside looked not so good, I'm not a drinker so bar didn't bother me but people seemed to be enjoying it there, sports on tv, pool tables, a band on (sounded pretty good did a good version of Mr brightside), hired in mini golf ⛳️ the second night we were there so all grand it's a bar people happy out. The accommodation was the surprise after initially thinking i would be booking somewhere else for the night, the room was immaculate (little dated maybe) but really clean and comfortable, spotless linen on the beds, clean carpet, any amount of tea and coffee what more do you need it's a place to lay your head and lay my head comfortably I did no frills but job done, en suite again clean and towels spotless and fresh no more than that needed, on to the breakfast (only had one morning because of commitments early but my family had two mornings) really nice (probably not m&s produce but that's reflected in the price of your stay, remember peeps if you don't pay to stay in the ritz then don't be expecting Gordon ramsay to cook your breakfast) could not fault it again really tasty, Cooked nicely, my son loved the toast, my wife the bacon, decent cup of coffee overall really good, the man in the bar, reception, kitchen, (yes one man working his ass off apologies I didn't get your name) decent fella very helpful to our needs doing a great job well done. Would I stay again?? Indeed I would no problem. Hope if you read this you enjoy your stay also. Remember don't judge the cover.

We stayed over Easter break. 13 min walk from Bangor station and although middle of town, its quite and peaceful place. Check-in was prompt and easy. We had our own key for the front door, so we did not have to go through the pub. The room was comfortable, with plenty of tea and coffee and if you need more you can ask. They clean rooms by request during your stay. We did not want it. Everything is in working condition, there is a bath or shower option. Again, you can ask for more shampoo or body wash or towel.Bed is so comfortable. You request breakfast every day for the next morning. Good choice of cooked or continental breakfast. Staff is pleasant and helpful. We do recommend it.

Friday night , there was karaoke, but the owner let us know it would finish @ 12 a.m., and it did. Some noise from other guests but nothing that would hotel could do anything about it or bother us.

I liked the good atmosphere in the Menai Hotel. I travelled alone due to my husbands work commitments, even though travelling alone was slightly daunting I was welcomed by the staff and put at ease on arrival. All the Hotel, Bar and Housekeeping staff where friendly and helpful and a credit to the Hotel.The Hotel is close to all amenities Restaurants/Take aways/Supermarkets and also offers food. I enjoyed my morning breakfast which set me up for the day. The Hotel was easy walking distance to The Menai Bridge and the old Victorian Garth Pier which I enjoyed visiting and I fought a fear by both crossing the Bridge and walking the Pier, so Proud of myself. I even ventured to the Hotel Bar for Kareoke night on Friday that was very busy and I had lots of fun. Overall I had an amazing couple of days recharging my batteries.

I found the door staff let the Hotel team down, very unfriendly, however, only saw them once when going to the Bar on the Friday night so that was a good thing. Maybe a little chat there way is required.

For what we paid and old looking place in pictures when I booked, I had very low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Everything was clean, very good customer service, very pleasant and friendly staff, amazing food and accommodations for us vegetarians, room 10 was very specious with really good views. Although there was load music and busy bar. Wend we when to our room it was quiet enough and had no negative impact.

Nothing to add here under negatives. Although the place looked old, but it was better in reality it was not an issue as price and all the other positives are more important.

Put up with our three ,small dogs barking and let us have breakfast in our room the next morning. Staff work hard and are friendly and accommedating. Had our tea in the room Sunday evening which was easier with the dogs. Food was very nice and good amounts. Bathroom was lovely. Bedroom not up to my standard of dusting, haha! A bedside table would have been nice and a wardrobe. The single bed is a good idea if you want to sleep separately and gave us more room with the dogs to put things on. The carpet was new which was nice !

The noise from above our room (no 5) sounded like a herd of elephants running around and frightened the dogs who thought the ceiling was going to come down, as it was there first time away in a hotel/B&B. It was Saturday night and there was a bar and music? downstairs, but the barking went on until they went to bed about 01.00hrs .

Friendly warm welcome. Great sleep. Very dog friendly. Lovely tiled floor. Very central. Just really good vibe. I drive 10 hours straight to drop off my son at uni. I was so grateful to arrive to such a welcome 🙏

There is a bar downstairs and it's lively. I liked it. Young people having fun and it finished at 12 midnight. You could hardly hear the music upstairs but i didn'texpect it. The WiFi signal on the TV was a bit spooling. But overall I thought it was perfect for the uni drop off

Staff are really friendly, helpful and welcoming. The building itself is a little old and tired, but clean and comfortable. Comfortable bed, warm room, bath/shower. The breakfast is basic but really tasty, and they go out of their way to cater for what you want (I wanted vegan sausage and soya milk). Good location for Upper Bangor but also just a short walk into the City Centre (although the High Street is looking pretty sorry for itself nowadays, so many closed shops). All in all, excellent value. The bar is a pleasant environment to spend a bit of time and the beer is really good.
