The whole place was spotless and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a wide choice of food and drinks on offer for dinner and the food was fantastic, as was the breakfast, which was freshly cooked.
Staff very helpful, we were able to park nearby as the car park was a short walk away.
Service excellent, food very good, great atmosphere. Would definitely stay again.
Parking exactly outside the Hotel wasnt easy but there was a nearby overflow Car Park. Room was really nice, staff were exceptionally helpful and yhe food really nice. Bed was so comfortable and really enjoyed our stay here!
Lovely hotel, friendly staff we went half board for 2 night's . Plenty of choices on the evening menu menu and cooked breakfast.
Great location to stay ,we went on the steam train to abwrwrstwith forgive my spelling ,didnt get round to the walk but a good excuse to come back .
Great location and lovely renovated building. Staff were great and food was good.
"King" size bed felt a bit small, but the valley view made up for it!
Hotel was very nice
Rooms good
Fresh towels and products every day
Area with the waterfall was so nice and the steam train was fun too
Food for us was not great
Staff was not sure or didn’t know about items on the menu
Wonderful hotel, room was clean, we had a room which was facing onto the Valley, was nice, Staff so friendly & helpful,. We had nice evening meal in restaurant, good value for money. Definitely recommend this hotel to stay or to pop by for a bite to eat or some refreshments. Close to Stram train & Devils Bridge.

I would come again
Friendly staff. Nice decor. Room and bathroom very pleasant but needed somewhere to put baggage
Very charming place, to spend a nice time the hotel is great with food and service, interesting places to explore, I recommend this place with all my heart, I will definitely come back there again
This was our most favourite hotel of our 2 week UK trip! From the amazing service at check-in, through dinners, breakfasts and room servicing (fresh towels, tea and Welsh Cakes), we felt so very taken care of here.
If I could give 10 stars I would!
The hotel was beautiful, the atmosphere was so relaxing, and the location is perfect!
We really enjoyed the #TAKEMEWITHEWE sheep. We have posted pictures on social media and I hope people enjoy them as much as we enjoyed participating in this fun activity.
Thank you to evryone at the Hafod Arms! We will definitely be back! And hopefully for longer!
We had a really lovely couple of days, service was fantastic everyone was so helpful and friendly.
We will definitely book to stay here again.

Having the waterfall just outside the hotel was beautiful! You cant see it, but you can hear it and its amazing.
The only thing that let down this hotel was the hot water. They had been having problems with the water for a few days, and we werent told on arrival. So after being on the road all day we didnt get to have a hot shower. This was an ongoing problem the time we were there.
We stayed for one night, lovely hotel and surroundings and staff friendly. My only negative was that I informed staff that our room did not have a remote control and they said they did not have a replacement so we could not watch tv. I later overheard in the restaurant another guest talking with staff about their tv not working and they got this replaced straight away. They seemed to know the staff member so maybe this was why they were treated differently.
We made a fairly last-minute booking to stay at the Hafod Hotel. The reviews were generally good, and we were looking forward to finding out for ourselves.
The location is perfectly placed next to Devil’s Bridge. We had a valley-view king room, which had a beautiful view both day and night. There’s loads of parking; however, there is a short walk from there to the hotel.
The room is high quality and includes everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We booked on a bed, breakfast, and dinner basis, and we weren’t disappointed. There are plenty of options for the meals and the food was very tasty.
The staff are friendly and well-turned out. A special mention for Charlotte, who looked after us in the evening; nothing was too much trouble, and she was charming and humorous.
We’d highly recommend the hotel, and we will definitely be back.
