Stayed one night with friends in a private room while we hiked in the Brecon Beacons and it was perfect for what we needed. Perks included - plenty of drying rooms (it rained the whole time we were there so this was very much needed!), restaurant and bar, cosy lounge with fire and board games, and a sink in the room. Easy to find, plenty of parking, and great location. If I'm in the area again I will definitely come back. ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Walking on Beacons nearby so no need for shops ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory 28 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

Staff gave us free left over curry which was very nice. Beverage options are vast. About a 30 minute drive from pen y fan. Only had WiFi in the main rooms though. No signal or WiFi in the room we were in. We only stayed for one night so it didn’t matter for us. cheap and cheerful. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martin 26 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort It's a while since I stayed in a YHA hostel so perhaps had unrealistic expectations. At the right price would be fine but very overpriced for this hostel, which is looking a bit tired. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Phillip 2 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent customer service, I received a call around 8pm to check I was on my way and not lost, a nice touch. On arrival a lovely and welcoming greeting, very informative on the hostel facilities and area. I was taking part in an event on the Friday morning and had left the lid for my water bladder at home, the man who was on reception was very helpful in helping to try and find me a work around, above and beyond what he needed to do. Very friendly hostel ##### Phillip Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven 13 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great but please YHA allow an earlier check-in We stayed on a cold Sat & Sun night in December. Very warm and comfortable place. Typical hostel. Can't speak for the meals as we self catered and used the pub in Lebanus (very friendly and good food). Only gripe at the hostel is the 5pm check-in. This is too late in winter. It's dark and icy. ![YHA Brecon Beacons](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C8DC2957CDACF65DC71BD3301C6DE805B00CC0CA1670929670686.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pen-y-Fan on our winter weekend](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9756D1A964BCE19BD3C2CCDB6F61E9BF45447D7E1670929663660.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 9 Feb 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Not impressed The boiler wasn't working in the drying room, which in the middle of winter when everyone staying has wet kit, is less than ideal. on top of that, the staff didn't seem apologetic or concerned about this fact. So we all just dried our kit in the lounge where it was warmest coz of the fire. Some of our party stayed in rooms little bigger than shoeboxes. I know its a hostel, so we weren't expecting 5 star, but a bit of floorspace would be nice. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### sophie 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### difficulté pour arriver très bon séjour mais l'arrivée à été difficile, en venant à pied par le chemin il n'y a aucune indication de l'YHA et nous avons du rejoindre la route principale qui est très dangereuse à pied. Quelques panneaux sur le sentier sont nécessaires ##### sophie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda 20 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is excellent and beautiful surroundings. The only downfall: There was really noisy, rude and selfish people staying at the property that was laughing and talking so loudly until 1 am in the morning when I had to go and say something. I also would have liked a proper English breakfast. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver 29 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brecon beacons stay Great nights stay.

Really nice views and "sheep alarm" in the morning. But also we have a really huge spider in our bathroom saying "hello" below the pipe, so a little scary. It was great ;) ##### Roberto Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver 15 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### awesome place Brilliant location for Bike Park Wales - couple who managed the hostel were fantastic - looked after me and my pals well and cooked a brilliant mealn ##### Oliver Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No WiFi means everyone will talk and have a well deserved break from their phone! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, friendly and well located YHA. This is a great YHA in a great location. Comfortable surroundings, clean facilities (the only exception was the showers, they were a bit dated and muddy), friendly staff and a great location for walking. I visited with friends and we had a very good weekend in sociable surroundings, I'd thoughroughly reccomend this YHA if you're looking for such accomodation in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Tawa, Oklahoma 15 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is outstanding - beauty natural area.

Stayed 4 days at the YHA and I absolutely loved it. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful with pretty much Everything. This was my first solo vacation so naturally I had a lot of questions about tracks, trails and maps (being afraid of getting lost of course), but when I went out I felt comfortable. Food was good and the room was the exact size that I needed. Was a bit disappointed with the fact that there wasn’t a washing machine since I’ve read online, somewhere, that there was - but o’well there was a drying room so I could wash my clothes by hand. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back for some more bonfires and beautiful surroundings! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Log 21 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great stay as usual,always clean,welcoming,peaceful,great scenery.
