Royal Sportsman Hotel is a 3-star hotel in the Welsh seaside town of Porthmadog, on the doorstep of the Snowdonia National Park and 21.2 miles from the Snowdon Mountain Railway. This former Victorian coaching inn boasts a 2 AA Rosette restaurant, and is within five minutes of all downtown shopping, the mainline train station and Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways. All 28 rooms are non-smoking and en-suite and come standard with a flat-screen LCD TV, hairdryer, Duck Island luxury toiletries, free Wi-Fi, tea/coffee/hot chocolate supplies and a radio alarm clock. Dogs are welcome in certain rooms, secure storage and electric car charging points are available and limited free private parking is available. Guests looking for a more relaxed meal can eat in the gastropub — or in the lounge or patio garden — and continental and cooked breakfast options are available. Royal Sportsman Hotel is three miles from the Italianate Portmeirion.
According to guests, Royal Sportsman’s restaurant food deserves its Rosettes, and the pub food also proved up-to scratch with a nice local ambience inside. Guests said the breakfasts were similarly delicious with a sumptuous selection of continental options and a good choice of cooked meals, including a popular option for vegetarians.
You, like others who stayed, will find the hotel well-located for golf courses, Portmeirion and the attractions of Porthmadog, with the Welsh Highland & Ffestiniog railways, shopping and the mainline train station all within an easy walk.
Guests found the staff to be welcoming and helpful, and also appreciated having a lot of good information on local attractions available in reception.
Some of Royal Sportsman’s smaller rooms were considered too cramped by a few of those who stayed, so consider upgrading if you are looking for a more space to relax in.
A small number of those who stayed said the soundproofing was not the best in their room, and reported being disturbed from exterior and interior sources, while a few other guests considered the decor to be on the dated side, even if the rooms were in good condition.
