Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Gladstone from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Gladstone garners praise for its excellent cooked breakfast, often a Full Welsh, and the nice selection of teas and coffee available in the rooms. Many guests appreciate the spacious and immaculate rooms, some offering sea views overlooking the Great Orme and Puffin Island. Conveniently located just off the A55, with walking distance to the local village and ideal for exploring Anglesey, some guests have noted that rooms facing the front can experience road noise due to the hotel's proximity to the main road. The hotel also offers a nice bar and restaurant, where guests can sit outside and enjoy the sunset.

The breakfast was good. It had hot tea, and everything was cooked just right.
The room was too small. there wasn't space to put suitcases. wallpaper was coming loose, and the bathroom fan was very noisy. I was not happy with that at all.

Subpar Room Quality, Good Staff

black mold scratched chair
My room needed serious updates. It was frustrating. The shower had a lot of black mold. it was old. The faux leather chair was all scratched up. I also noticed the bed linens looked faded, and the carpets was stained. I expected better for the price I paid.
