The Deluxe double room is amazing, huge and very comfortable (and with very nice views!); we had everything we could need. Shared spaces were also very clean and cosy, with books and games in the living room and a nice breakfast area set up in the kitchen in the morning. Henrietta and Bob were very friendly and welcoming! We had most of our trip planned as we mainly came for hiking, but Henrietta recommended a nice little hill a few minutes away (walking distance!) where we could enjoy a lovely view of the town and the mountains before heading back to catch the train. I am going to be back without any doubt.

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

Everything. Great check-in experience, plus we got great recommendations for our hikes. The shared area is clean and provides all you need, including a notice board with information about hikes around. Our room was great. Highly recommend!

Sonni and Simon are the most amazing, gracious hosts. They answered every question we had about nearby hikes and the home cooked breakfast every morning was so delicious!! Coming home after a hike to a delicious home cooked meal was the best feeling. One night when the weather was nice Simon even went out of his way to bring our dinner down to where we were sitting watching the sunset so we could enjoy an outdoor feast 😄 The hostel has such a homely feeling where you get to know everyone. I would recommend it to every person wanting to explore Snowdonia!

All hostels in Caernarfon

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.

Freshly refurbished rooms with new bathrooms. My friend who travels a lot around the world and stay in a lot of hostels said, I quote: "This is one of the best hostels I've stayed in". Great facilities, great location.
