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.

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.
