Welcome to The Royal Sportsman Hotel Porthmadog
A Quality Experience at a Three Star Price
The Royal Sportsman, with Snowdonia as a backdrop, is Porthmadog's Premier Hotel , the only full service quality hotel in Porthmadog. It is one of the top five AA & Visit Wales 3 star hotels in all of North Wales, and is considered to be the best in Snowdonia.
The hotel has won the 2011 TripAdvisor Award for Excellence based on consistent excellent ratings from its customers; it is now to be included in the AA's Britain's Best Hotel Guide, based on the high quality scores achieved, above the UK average.
The Hotel has been awarded 2 AA Rosettes for its cooking and is also included in The Good Food Guide, only one of five restaurants in Gwynedd to have achieved such status; it now ranks with the very best in Snowdonia. We have created a style of cooking which is highly regarded to suit all tastes and meals are served in Peppino's, our beautifully restored 60 seat restaurant in a contemporary setting.
'Home From Home' Family Hotel in Snowdonia
The Royal Sportsman is a family owned and managed hotel, a place of genuine warmth, a comfortable, 'home from home,' family run hotel providing a traditional and relaxed style, friendly service and hospitality at the heart of its business. Our close knit team maintains the intimacy, attention to detail and extended family atmosphere for which the hotel is renowned.
It has a personality different from many others, derived from its strong European culture which influences how we look after our customers, in an informal yet professional manner; a very personal service where we try to exceed expectations and go the extra mile for customers, to ensure that they more than enjoy their stay. We embrace our customers as members of an extended family.
This Snowdonia hotel was built in 1862, originally as a traditional coaching inn, with local Blaenau Ffestiniog slate still visible from the outside. It retains many of its original features such as the stone and slate fireplaces in Gelert's Bar and Lorenzo's Lounge. The Hotel has 28 en suite bedrooms, is centrally located, with lots of character and perceived to be one of the very best in its category in Snowdonia; refurbishment after twelve years was completed in November 2010 but in reality is always on going.
There are both small and larger rooms to suit all sizes and pockets, all warm, comfortable and exceptionally clean. Free WIFI is available throughout the hotel and there is also free but limited on-site covered parking, on a first come basis except for Blue Badge holders. As a family hotel, babies and children of all ages are particularly welcome and, and being 'pet friendly,' so are pets in designated rooms. We also provide drying and storage facilities for golfers, cyclists and walkers.
The Royal Sportsman is not a pretentious,boutique nor fashionable hotel. It is simply a very good honest traditional hotel, well managed and staffed by a team that cares about its customers. Feedback and suggestions from our customers is not only welcomed but a key part in every facet of the Hotel's operation.
Our success to date is reflected in the very high number of guests that return and recommend others to stay, besides the number of commendations and awards achieved over the years.
