4-night trip

10/10

We highly recommend Shelleven. It is quiet, comfortable, well-equipped, and has a great location so that one may walk to most of Bangor's excellent eateries. Sue's breakfast is legendary - or if it's not, it should be - and she and her staff are very friendly and welcoming.

8/10

A good location, friendly welcome and tasty breakfast. Room was a small single. Not really enough room to lay out medium sized suitcase. Plumbing noises late at night and early in the morning were quite bad and woke me up both nights. Lost a fair bit of sleep because of it. Nice wee place, but I wouldn't choose the same room again.

The location is great, many food options, pubs, and things to see all within easy walking distance. There isn't a pull off for unloading and parking is not on site. Overall it is a great place to stay!

8/10

Very nice welcoming with great info. Also great location, very close to nice restaurants. The breakfast was outstanding. Big room with a big bathroom the decoration a bit outdated and could hear every step from the people above. But it was a quiet place with families as guests.
