The Heights Bunkhouse is located in Llanberis, in the heart of the village, 100 metres from Lake Padarn and within walking distance of the Llanberis Snowdon Path. Free WiFi is available in public areas.

The Heights Bunkhouse sits above a busy bar and restaurant. The dormitories contain bunk beds and come with carpeted floors, and all dormitories have their own shower and toilet.

I love an old building. there was space but also a big family feel too

Deep in the beautiful mountain scenery of north Wales, YHA Snowdon Llanberis is set on the doorstep of the Snowdonia National Park. It provides a daily buffet breakfast, and also has a TV lounge and a self-catering kitchen.

The majority of the bright rooms at YHA Snowdon Llanberis have bunk beds, and all share bathroom facilities.

We had a twin room. Location and facilities were nice and kept clean by all. Beds were comfy and showers were hot which was needed after a very wet and windy hike.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location, great atmosphere for a self-catered stay, and an interesting history as the first youth hostel in the UK. Staff were a delight and couldn't ask for more in terms of the price!
