“Y Castell presents a compelling proposition in Caernarfon, particularly for those prioritizing location and value. Its rooms, while straightforward, are noted for comfort and cleanliness, with many benefiting from excellent views across the harbour and proximity to the castle. The hotel's position on the main square, despite being above a popular pub, appears to strike a good balance, remaining quiet enough for a restful stay.”
