My friend and I had a fabulous stay at the Black Boy. We received a very warm welcome, the staff were helpful, kind and courteous. Our room and all the public areas are well maintained and spotlessly clean. The shower was great, bed comfy and we were able to adjust the radiator to suit the temperature we like. Breakfast was great, hot dishes cooked to order. We absolutely loved that all the fires were lit and it felt really cosy on a cold winters day. We stayed in the original building, it was really quirky and very authentic. We would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The Black Boy Inn has a lovely location close to the City Centre, public transportation, the Caernarfon Castle, an abundance of interesting shops and several nearby walking trails. The morning breakfast available to guests was a very reasonable price for a high quality selection of hot breakfast choices. My favorite dish was the salmon and scrambled eggs. The morning staff were attentive and efficient. I stayed in a cozy single twin bed room with a skylight. There were beams I needed to stay aware of.The bed was firm which I find comfortable. I would have preferred a little brighter light over the desk, but the light next to the bed was great for reading. The bathroom was clean and modern in decor. The shower had pros and cons. First, the rain shower feature had good water pressure and plenty of warm water. However, the opening to the shower was not very wide which would be an obstacle for larger folks. Overall, I was quite comfortable during my 3 night stay and I would not hesitate to stay at the Black Boy Inn again or recommend it to friends & family.
