Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Penrhyn is highly regarded for its location, just a couple of tram stops from the north shore and near the sea. Guests often appreciate the good-sized en-suite rooms equipped with TVs and a hospitality tray including tea and cookies, and find the full English breakfast well-cooked and presented, offering fresh fruit and yoghurts among the options. The tram station nearby makes it easy to get around, though some guests have noted occasional issues such as drips from the ceiling due to plumbing incidents. Many enjoyed the bar being open until 11pm.

nice hosts great breakfast knowledgeable hosts
Karen and lawry were very nice hosts. They offered good attention. i will definitely return. breakfast was great. I could have had as much as i wanted. the hosts were very knowledgeable about the area.
one day i was woken up by drips coming from the ceiling, and someone said the people above had flooded their bathroom. i don't think it should have leaked as easily as it did.
