Colwyn Bay’s hotel offer has grown in recent years, most notably with the addition of a Travelodge on Victoria Avenue (LL29 8DU), a 10-minute walk from the promenade. Standard Travelodge format — king-size beds, 24-hour reception, paid parking, WiFi, complimentary tea and coffee. Reliable and budget-friendly. Book via travelodge.co.uk.
Independent options are led by the town’s well-reviewed guest houses — Bryn Woodlands House near the town centre and West Point near the promenade among them, with Staveley House and the seafront Whitehall Guest House in Rhos-on-Sea. See our guest houses & B&Bs guide for detail. Booking.com and TripAdvisor reviews give the most current picture.
Near Colwyn Bay
A Premier Inn operates in the Llandudno Junction / Glan-Conwy area, on the A470 between the coast and the Conwy Valley. This puts it about 10 minutes from Colwyn Bay by car and equally close to Conwy, making it a flexible base for the North Wales coast. Typically good value and a reliable standard. Book via premierinn.com.
For a broader range of hotels, Llandudno (15–20 minutes along the coast) has one of the largest concentrations of traditional seaside hotels in Wales — grand Victorian seafront properties, boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts in almost every price range.
Booking Tips
Colwyn Bay is quieter than Llandudno for accommodation so last-minute availability is generally better. The exceptions are match days at Stadiwm Eirias (particularly RGC 1404 games), bank holiday weekends in summer, and any major events at the stadium. Outside these times, booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient.
If you are travelling by train, staying close to Colwyn Bay station makes sense — many of the town centre hotels and guest houses are within 10 minutes on foot. The Travelodge on Victoria Avenue is one of the closer options to the station.
Self-Catering
Self-catering options in and around Colwyn Bay are available through Airbnb, Sykes Cottages and similar platforms. Rhos-on-Sea and Old Colwyn have properties that offer a more residential feel than the town centre hotels. For families or groups staying several nights, self-catering in this area often works out well — the supermarkets are convenient and the surrounding countryside is easily accessible by car.
Tips for Booking
Colwyn Bay has fewer large hotels than nearby Llandudno, but the smaller scale means better availability outside peak school holiday periods. Booking directly with hotels or guest houses often unlocks a better rate than online travel agencies for multi-night stays. Summer weekends — particularly around events at Stadiwm Eirias or the Eirias Park outdoor concert programme — fill quickly. If your dates overlap with a major event, book as early as possible.
