GRANT, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff is helpful and lovely, property is right next to 2 mountain trails so extremely convenient; also right next to carpark so extremely accessible via public transport (one bus from rail station to and fro, as well as bus to Llanberis should you wish to explore the village). Rooms are clean, cosy, and warm. Shared shower has warm water, but would recommend bringing your own slippers to wear while in shower. Overall a super healing trip with breathtaking views - YHA making the experience comfortable and convenient.

We’ve been using this Youth Hostel for at least 7 years but the last few times we’ve all commented on how tired and grubby it’s gotten. We love the location and the staff are very friendly but it’s time to close it for a few weeks and refurbish it because if it gets worse we will start looking for other places to stay.

If you arent into nature dont stay here. Its pretty secluded but if you want a cute little place set in the hills at the base of your climb to snowdon then I highly recommend
Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Value for money
The room was basic but clen and well equipped enough for the value. We booked to stay one night before climbing Mount Snowdon and my only criticism is our room was above the bar area and it was quite loud due to people drinking and shouting, which made sleeping a bit difficult.
B D, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Its not too bad coz its cheap anyway.. but Im just looking for better quality of accommodation just like the kind where I would normally stay.
marites, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here overnight with family while on a road trip. Just wanted something cheap and basic but it turned out to be so much more. Our room was basic with bunk beds and a big bathroom. The room was comfortable and fairly quiet but it is a hostel so is basic and you don’t get towels (but it only costs £2.50 to hire one). The reception area has a bar and you can also buy snacks. The staff are very helpful and friendly. You have to pay for parking across the street as there is none around but it’s only cheap. The best part about this place is waking up to the amazing views. We stuck around the next day to take in the breathtaking area and mountain views. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for something cheap and simple with stunning views.

6/10 Good

There was no parking and upon arriving at 9pm we thought parking was available accross the road, after speaking with the car parking attendent we found out you had to book a space to park costing £40 for overnight and it wasnt available until 1am, had to park in a layby and get taxis to and from the property. Turned out to be a much more expensive trip than originally planned for.
