The staff where very friendly and helpful. The was very clean and modern. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Perfectly placed between the south and central pier, with a tram stop right outside.

Staff were first class, from bar staff, breakfast and reception. Nothing was ever too much. Staying in a group and some rooms dated but still completely fine, could see they are in the process of upgrading and one of the group was in said room and was lovely. Beautiful bar area too and lovely to be right on the water, near local attractions and right across from the tram stop. Parking just along the road too for £45 for 3 days which isn’t too bad. Absolutely top class service and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!

Booked last minute as a getaway and loved the hotel. Friendly staff good breakfast and superb entertainment in the evening. It was a themed weekend with Tom Jones and Robbie Williams tributes and they were both excellent. Our room was spacious and comfy we were in one of the rooms that used to the The Balmoral hotel that Craig y Don have took over and knocked through. Bar prices were cheaper than bars just done the road as well.

Craig-Y-Don is an older motel/hotel. There is no air conditioning which made sleeping very uncomfortable for the time of year we visited (Early September).

This is the first time we have stayed at the hotel and we will definitely be returning. The location is great. All the staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast was fab and set you up for the day. The evening entertainment for the adults and kids was excellent. Our grandchildren have loved their stay and did not want to leave. My grandson loves the bingo and gets very excited when you get down to one number. The family room was a great size with plenty of wardrobe space and storage. We all really enjoyed our stay.

The manager Neil at the desk was absolutely disgusting... Iam making a formal complaint about the manager Neil and some members of staff .. be careful when you arrive ..

The big problem was that the advertisement said that parking was available when it was not. No on site parking and the street parking that I was refered to by reception was full and any restricted to half an hour! They gaveinformation on expensive car parks whicch would have made my stay more expensive than in better hotels with parking. Even the hotel next door offered secure on site parking. As I am in my late seventies I had to park illegally to unload and load and walk to a long way to find somewhere to leave my car which left me exhausted. Also there was no bath plug or soap in te bathroom and the bathroom floor was extremely squeeky. Otherwise what you would expect for the price.
