The Hand Hotel

We arrived on Friday and greeted by a very friendly receptionist, she signed us in. We were given a car park pass . Porterage was very good and our case reached the room the same time as we did. The room and bathroom were very clean,, and we had a good sized wardrobe. Slept OK. Next day went down for breakfast which was self serve but they had everything we wanted. There was no porridge but I only enquired about it and the chef made me some.
Excellent seated garden overlooking the River Dee.
Highly recommended. Will return very soon.
Thank you at the Hand Hotel.

Really nice stay staff friendly and helpful breakfast really good,i love the outdoor drinks garden by the river.The room was nice with v large bathroom. Only bit of a moan is our room was above courtyard at rear and as it was really hot had the window open so we could hear people talking rather loudly at night and the staff when they were on a break and also really really early one morning before 5.30am 2 men talkingreally loudly, however I would definitely stay again just in another room.

Been to this hotel twice in a few months and going back again in a few weeks, it's a little dated but spotlessly clean. Rooms very good value with a continental AND cooked buffet style breakfast included.

Staff v kindly checked us in early as in town for a wedding and very tired from journey over from Ireland. Room was spacious and clean. All the staff were v friendly too

We have stayed twice now, the rooms are large and well equipped with toiletries, tea, coffee and the breakfasts are brilliant, lots of choice. But for us it's the staff they are so hard working and are so helpful we will definitely be booking again for next year

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE HOTEL IN CHIRK, NOT LLANGOLLEN:
Have to say first and foremost the low score was for the room (studio, that sleeps up to 8) there was 6 of us and there was no partition between the sleeping area and lounge so having 2 children with us meant when they went to bed so did we, also we were 2 family's so had to remain dressed as there was no privacy, one room full of beds and lounge area that was it. Also dated and needs decorating. Extra bedding is dumped on the floor in a cupboard but adequate tea/drinks area. Food for dinner was excellent and very tasty, I can recommend the house chicken curry.
Now breakfast was £9.95 each including the children ( 2 & 10) took 30 minutes to arrive after ordering, black pudding wasn't fully cooked, rest of the breakfast wasn't particularly hot and bacon well done the rind was black deffo not worth the money.
The hotel had charm and was a mix of old with new, staff very friendly although 1 girl covered a busy breakfast room so probably explains the long wait for food.
Sadly, what was to be the end of a perfect family day didn't end too well, and we won't be back.

The staff were amazing, the food was lovely (my compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff) and the bar was more than reasonably priced with knowledgable and friendly staff.

The place was always clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. It's worth noting that they allow dogs into the bar and rooms but the place never ever smelt like dogs (I don't own one so I notice these things).

My only issue was the lack of plug sockets in the room to charge our phones, as in we had no sockets unless we unplugged the WiFi extender or TV (which we did in the end).

All in all I would recommend this hotel to all and will certainly be returning in the future. Thank you again for a spectacular Christmas.

Only called in for directions but staff very helpful and friendly. Looks like a lovely place to stay. Only saw surrounding area briefly but looks a great place to spend in the summer especially
