Guests consistently praise Ruthin Castle Hotel and Spa for its wonderfully relaxing atmosphere and beautiful, historic property, enjoying the privilege of staying in such a unique setting. The staff receive high marks for being welcoming, contributing to a positive experience for many visitors. The culinary offerings are a particular highlight, with both dinner and breakfast frequently described as great and served in lovely surroundings.

The hotel's spa and wellness centre is a significant draw, contributing to the overall sense of relaxation. Many guests express an eagerness to return, indicating a high level of satisfaction with their stays. The availability of special diet menus on request also suggests a thoughtful approach to guest needs.

One recurring minor concern was related to room views, with one guest noting it "not so good." However, this appears to be an isolated comment and does not detract from the overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding the rooms themselves, food, service, and the historic charm of the hotel.
