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.

Have stayed here several times previously before Covid, as location is beautiful, but this is first time back since then, and arrived to find the car park cordoned off. After asking at reception where it's possible to park, was told that as a large group is arriving late the next morning, the car park has been cordoned off to allow them to park there. Our booking was for only one night, and explained that planned to leave at the check out time of 10am, before the coach was due to arrive, but was told that still could not park there. Staff were polite, but there seemed to be mixed communications, as at first was told it may be possible to park there, then later not, and felt like was treated as a second class guest to group bookings as an individual booking. We were told that the park and ride in Nant Peris was an option, but we drove there, and did not feel secure leaving the car a few miles away in an unmanned remote car park with expensive camping gear inside, so ended up spending almost 3 hours driving around looking for options, and asking the advice of the car park opposite (which can only be booked online and would've cost £40, the same price as the room, defying the whole point of staying in a budget hostel). After coming back and forth to the hostel and asking the staff several times about parking options, a man said we could park in the staff car parking space, as long as car was moved by 6:45am the next morning (even though was previously told no)

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.

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.

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.

Perfect location, really, does it get any better? Rooms and showers were clean, self catering kitchen was amazingly kitted out, dinner served till 8:30 and breakfast available. The beds were comfortable and the bedding clean. Perfect for a hiking stop over - a good winter alternative to camping. Will definitely come back.

Nice location. Although a bit of confusion with the number of nights the staff was great. The breakfast a bit poor but the price was not excessive. Parking very expensive considering it was overnight and not too many cars there. New beds and mattress. The toilet a bit small and disturbing toilet roll case in the middle of the seat. Not good if you are big person or difficulties to move

It wasn't bad as far as youth hostels go but unfortunately one of the staff didn't seem very happy to be there and everything we asked for was an issue which spoilt things. The other staff were lovely at all times. Not much sleep was achieved due to doors banging constantly, barrels being changed and bottles being thrown out into the bins. The light in the bathroom took around 30-40 mins to go off so you couldn't sleep until it had eventually turned itself off. You are definitely paying for location here.

Location is ideal for Snowdonia, sat at the bottom of the PYG and Miners’ track for Snowdon or to the Glyders. Service is friendly. Staff are knowledgeable and provide great advice. Nice reference to the early history of the British Everest Expeditions.

great place to stay before your climb to the peak! the route is right outside of the hostel. great overall stay and the breakfast in the morning was good, the only thing i would say is can get a little cold in the winter months and the noise by passing cars can be unsettling, apart from that the place was a great stay, thanks to all the staff.
