We were dumbfounded with what we got considering what the price. Bob was warm and welcoming, explained everything nicely and we had a lovely stay. The entire place is really cozy, everything is really clean and spotless and the location next to the castle walls is great. The room was nice and beds were comfy. Bathroom is shared, but it is a hostel after all and what matters is that it was great to use. And it was shared with only one other room so that made things better.

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

Looking for a hostel?

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.
