If you're driving stay further out and use the park and ride

Parking is an absolute nightmare at this location, plan well before you go as once you're there there's not much you can do, the wifi is atrocious (wouldn't work on apple devices) and obviously no phone signal in that location so we couldn't book into the carpark opposite. Staff weren't very helpful as it must happen all the time here. Wish we'd stayed further out and just used the park and ride. The Just Park carpark costs a fortune and the hostel itself doesn't have many free spaces.

Todo correcto

Está perfectamente situado para subir a Snowdon. El personal es muy amable. El restaurante no está mal y hay buen ambiente montañero. El yogur y la compota caseros del desayuno estaban buenísimos. Los baños estaban limpios.

La ducha no tenía alcachofa, era un poco básica.

Amazing trip and no hassel hostel with amazing staff. Comfortable warm stay and easy access to parki

The staff were incredibly helpful and even went as far to help plan our route on Snowdon-Yr Wyddfa. The beds had fresh linen and good ammendities that were better than any other hostel of a similar description. Location simply couldn't be better. The breakfast was also very generous.

The evening food was OK. I didn't expect much but perhaps the pizza could be looked at interms of quality. Generally fine.

great location, uncomfortable accommodation for me

location, drying room, equipped kitchen and dining room

noise in the corridors and in neighboring rooms after 10 p.m., doors slamming in the corridors, small window in the bedroom for 6 people, poorly ventilated room, a mini-sink in the bathroom, even when washing, there is a lot of water on the floor

Wonderful location, helpful staff. Booking management needs to improve

Hygiene inside the room could be better.

There were single rooms available on the day I checked in. But apparently that wasn't what was reflected on the site while booking. And I had to pay for a 6 bedded 'private' room since that was the only available option to choose from

Passable

Met by great staff. Really helpful

Stayed in room 10. Bottom bunk mattress was painful to sleep on. I'm a podgy middle age man.. my hips are not boney. :) It must be the mattress.

Exceptional

The whole stay was great with the amenities and food exceeding expectations. More importantly the staff were amazing, informative, helpful and friendly. In particular the young lady from Italy (we didn't catch her name) was extremely professional friendly and incredibly professional.

Functional hostel which we warmed to.

Bit dark and stuffy. Staff were not particularly helpful or friendly but they looked exhausted at the end of a long day. Hard to find the kitchen and not clear how to use some of the facilities but once we settled in we cheered up help by the the decent bar service and friendly other guests.

Being told to park 3 miles away and wait for park and ride.

The best little place ever

This is perfect location for hiking snowdon literally at the bottom of the mountain I was very impressed with everything with it being so cheap but everything was brilliant from the real cosy fire to dry us after walk the food n drink in the restaurant the rooms were really spacious clean beds comfortable you literally could mot fault the place the manager was lovely too will definitely be back and looking for other yha hostels to stay in the future I never leave reviews after stays but thought this definitely deserved one 😀

Worse than expected - we wouldn't stay again.

- hot food available (delicious chips) - sink in the bedroom - beautiful scenery - comfortable bed

- no on-site parking: carpark across the accommodation is owned by someone else, pre-booked online only, and extremely expensive: at £40 overnight in November (17:00-07:00) - we paid £35 for a one-night stay, which is a good price, but almost £75 in total: it would have been cheaper, comfier and far better overall if we would have booked a hotel. - very cold bedroom: no heating in the late autumn evening - we expected to warm up and spend a nice evening in the bedroom, but it was too cold, so we just took up the shower and went straight away to bed. - huge, cold, complicated, and unpleasant building: self-catering kitchen at the very end of the building and hard to find, shower rooms and toilets at the end of the corridors. - shower room with lack of hangs for the towels, clothes, and other stuff - not clean, flooded, with push shower. - claustrophobically tiny toilets with broken taps. - no table or chair in the bedroom - only in the communal areas such as the restaurant or dining room. - doors opened by a token only - must remember to always have it when leaving the room.
