This review is for the university on-campus accommodation. I'm currently working in Bangor and staying on-site at the university in the Gwynant halls.
The rooms are very modern and have an en-suite bathroom. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly and given a key-card. Ultra-modern! But beware of forgetting your card and locking yourself out. This happened to someone in our party during the stay and she had no bother in finding a friendly member of staff to help her out. Apparently it costs you £5 if you're a student living here during term-time.
The nearby student union, Bar Uno, catered for us during our stay. It certainly does the job, especially being so close to the accommodation. If I was staying here in my free-time, I would prefer to explore the local haunts come dinner-time, but Bar Uno is just fine and staff are friendly and welcoming.
There's also a lot to see and do nearby and some interesting areas to explore. From my short stay I would recommend the nearby Beaumaris area for some lovely little cafés and shops. I'd also say that if you're staying at the university, it may be worth venturing a little farther out in Bangor to find a nice pub in the evening. read more
