Genuinely an amazing hostel! Situated in a quiet town, with some really nice hikes at the doorstep, and a bus-stop only 2 minutes away! The only downside for me was that there’s only a microwave. The staff are really nice and super helpful. They gave me some nice recommendations for hikes!

Excellent gateway to Snowdonia in the heart of North Wales. Welcoming staff and all necessary facilities one can expect when planning a hike region as the destination. Well connected by public transport if that matters.

Very clean and modern hostel. Great location near shops, restaurants and a bus stop for the bus to Snowdon Summit. It was a quiet hostel which I am sure some travelers would love. However, I prefer a bit more of a social vibe.
