Plas Coch is very good value for money. It's much cheaper than other local options, so you shouldn't expect luxury, but the standard was more than acceptable.

It’s a pub. Cheap. Friendly. Toilet didn’t flush properly, shower didn’t feel super clean and it was quite small. Bed was comfy. But it’s a characterful old pub and it’s cheap! Not many food options in Bala.
The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful, only disadvantage were the two flights of stairs up to our room which wasn't the hotel,s fault, but lovely views of the high street when we got up there !!!

It was somewhere to stay for one night. The beds were clean and comfortable. Generally the room was clean but the paint was chipped in many places and the furniture hasn't aged well. The shower had mould around the base and the bathmat was threadbare, torn and holy. The bar was okay. The staff were good. Interesting that the single beds were completely different heights/sizes.
Start off with the good points,the breakfast was very good and there’s a small car park round the back.
Bad points are the room was very dated,not shabby chic just shabby,the 2 single beds were very uncomfortable,it wasn’t the cleanest,the only window in the room opened out on to the sloping roof which made the room really dark in daylight and very humid.
This is a nice comfy hotel. We stayed bed and breakfast, which was cooked really nice . The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. It maybe a little old fashioned but it was a really nice and comfortable along with being good value for money, and we will definitely be back.
Taylor at the reservation desk was very helpful and Thomas behind the bar was helpful with ahy queries.

Want to sleep at night? Best avoid.
Pros: Friendly staff, comfortable bed, decent breakfast.
Cons: Noisy during the evening and through to the early morning, due to the hotel also being a pub with lots of loud talking and laughing from the locals who drink there. I think the police attended at one point due to a fight. Avoid the place if you want a decent nights sleep.
Lovely friendly staff. Good variety of food on offer in the evening and for breakfast. The room was nice and big, although because of the old building, the floor was uneven. Pretty limited parking round the back. Overall a good stay.
Staff Very Helpful . Tiny TV in Room Clean but needs Updating

The hotel is definitely in need of a refurbishment but it is in an ideal location on the High Street and only a few minutes walk to Bala Lake. All the staff were helpful and friendly, especially Tony, the chef, who cooked us a lovely breakfast too. All in all, we had a lovely short break here.
