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.

Fantastic location across the road from Snowdon Mountain. We parked a few miles away for £15. For the entire weekend and then took the Sherpa bus to the front of the hostel. Great food. Loved it. Clean and warm.

Staff is helpful and lovely, property is right next to 2 mountain trails so extremely convenient; also right next to carpark so extremely accessible via public transport (one bus from rail station to and fro, as well as bus to Llanberis should you wish to explore the village). 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.
