Loved this location nestled at the pass of the Welsh Mountains! Everyone was super friendly and accommodating, the food was delish and so easy to get over to Snowdon! Remember to buy your parking ticket in advance. Loved my stay and I look forward to coming back… ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7ec97e37-2a86-4875-85b4-b2b8988f64a7-1760795662106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/501c2055-e808-48d9-96b2-5b159004bafc-1760795654994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ee5ad28-88a4-4034-812a-fc15c33f3056-1760795654709.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6717739b-d6ac-4e1e-8e63-7034f93db565-1760795659379.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Trudie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location across the road from Snowdon Mountain.

Not much parking though. ##### Loretta Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Szilvia 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Advantage: The location. The room was ok. Mattresses, beddings were comfortable. However the bunkbed is can be quite challanging/uncomfortable if someone tall just like my husband. He hit his head many times during our stay. We could hear noises such cracking floor as walking above floor or people coming or going and slammed the door. But again this is a hostel and for the price and the location may need to sacrifice from your comfort. The breakfast was a good portion. Other options e.g. vegan, gluten free.... available. Staff are helpful and kind. Disadvantage: no free or discounted parking with the booking. A bit overpriced as almost the same price what I paid for the room. BUT it is convenient, next to the hostel and all night has a parking officer there. ##### Szilvia Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda 14 Nov 2024 #### Snowdons hostel review Room was clean and nicely presented.

Rooms are clean, cosy, and warm. Shared shower has warm water, but would recommend bringing your own slippers to wear while in shower. Overall a super healing trip with breathtaking views - YHA making the experience comfortable and convenient. ##### Olga Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann 8 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love this hostle.

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. ##### Ivor Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yasir 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay! ##### Yasir Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mason 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice stay ##### Mason Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan 22 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cool little hostel, staff were so helpful when I had questions about the snowdon paths.
