Beautiful old house, comfortable and clean and in a lovely location. Breakfast and a kitchen with all mod cons. Close to the harbour and a walk to the super Market. Bathroom was spotless with lovely views. I wish I could stay longer.

The locality of the Hotel was superb, within walking distance of the centre of town with it’s many restaurants, hotels, shops and activity centres. We walked to the Mt Snowdon railway to catch the diesel train up the mountain and back. We also visited the large Slate Museum, well worth visiting with its displays and historical information. Also within easy walking distance were the lakes with the kayak and boating activities, the Lakeside railway, Castle Ruins and many lovely walks to waterfalls, and forest paths to beautiful mountain scenery. Another place well worth visiting and very close by, is the Quarry Hospital with its displays of early medical history of the Slate Mine injuries and medical staff and much of the equipment used last century. Also beautiful views from the hospital entrance looking back over the lake to Llanberis. In regard to the Hostel itself, they have a restaurant that provides good meals and service. The owner, manager and staff were very welcoming, helpful and enjoyed having conversations with the customers

I chose YHA firstly for its perfect location. I arrived in the evening just in time to enjoy the sunset. And then I had the best birthday morning enjoying my coffee with a wonderful view before exploring The Miners Track (the path starts literally 10 meters from the hostel). The staff are lovely. And the famous British breakfast (I had veggie version though) kept me energized till the end of my adventure. When I can feel my legs again and decide to do the Snowdon summit one more time, I will not think twice to stay here again.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Freshly refurbished rooms with new bathrooms. My friend who travels a lot around the world and stay in a lot of hostels said, I quote: "This is one of the best hostels I've stayed in". Great facilities, great location.
