Nice weekend in Porthmadog.

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.

We found The Royal Sportsman to be clean, comfortable and friendly. Just a short walk from the Rail Station and easy walking to many points of interest including the steam train station. The restaurant at the RS was a very nice surprise and we enjoyed all our meals there. Most of all we appreciated the staff who were all very kind and helpful. We would certainly book a room at The Royal Sportsman if we return to Porthmadog.

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!
