I had a fantastic stay at YHA Snowdon! The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of the stunning Snowdonia National Park, with direct access to some of the best hiking trails, including the route up Snowdon itself. The views are breathtaking, and waking up surrounded by nature was a real highlight. The hostel was clean, warm, and well-maintained, with cozy communal areas perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great local tips and making everyone feel welcome. The kitchen facilities were also excellent, making it easy to prepare meals and meet other travelers. I would highly recommend YHA Snowdon to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable base to explore this beautiful part of Wales. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The location is beautiful, the staff were fantastic, very friendly, polite and very helpful, doing everything they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The showers, toilets and rooms were very clean and comfortable and the communal areas were the same. Any queries or concerns were dealt with quickly and efficiently and there was a lot of relevant information about the hostel, walking routes, public transport etc around the hostel. The breakfast choices are excellent and are unlimited too which really sets you up for the day whatever you're doing.

Although the breakfast choices are very good and the full English was very tasty, the only thing was that mine was lukewarm on both occasions at around 8am in the morning, although still very tasty. I didn't say anything on this occasion but I imagine they would have heated it up if I'd asked them as they were very attentive and responsive to any requests.

Location was perfect for 3 routes up snowdon, literally the front door is the start point ! Couldn’t believe our luck. Food was brilliant and well priced, nice warm room for a very reasonable price, was lucky to get a parking space in the hostel car park so very pleased with that. Would 100% recommend.

Only slight negative was that after a wet day out on the hills what you really need is a good shower to warm up, it was warm but the shower in our room had extremely poor pressure, almost dribbling out. We used the communal one instead but that was just as bad. But overall still a great stay and will be staying again in the future.

I’ve stayed here many times, never had any issues. Last minute plan, I managed to find a bed for 1night at a decent price. Staff always helpful, friendly and accommodating with my needs, such as leaving luggage in a safe place while I go for a run before check-in or after check-out. Plus as I guest I could use the showers after check-out too. Self catering is good and comfortable basic rooms. Location is ideal to get around by bus and on foot. Plus good food options for dinner too!

Nothing to say.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel; everything was perfectly designed! Room Bathroom Toilet Common area dining place everything was clean and neat. Kudos to the team 👏. Thank you.

That's a bummer about the wifi at the hostel. Please reach out to Sky Network and ask them to send a technical engineer to fix the IP assignment issue, maybe the configuration or Config of DHCP should be done properly. It's frustrating when devices keep getting disconnected. I had the same problem with my laptop. Hopefully, once they address this, it will make the hostel experience even the best one ever !

Amazing views location was the best. Staff where amazing and rooms where clean and exactly how described.

We left a phone in the room, it was 6am there was nonway to get back into the room to retrieve it, even with phoning the emergency phone line. Other than that it was an amazing stay, good value for money and excellent customer service. I came to do snowdon with my son and we made it.. had a comfortable stay the night before too at this YHA.

I had been warned that parking was an issue with staying here but actually it was a doddle. One night I paid £10 to use the car park opposite, the other I found a space in the parking area to the left of the centre. Spacious, well-equipped kitchen, nice bar/cafe space, nice quiet lounge, superb situation, exceptional value for money!

Bunk beds were a bit too short for me, a 6ft3in man. I would have found additional hooks helpful in the shower. Also, the shower extractor fans didn’t seem to work.

Great location with nice views of the snowdonia mountains and countryside Check in was easy and the staff were very friendly My room was a twin which included a bunk bed a sink, a storage locker and plenty of power points it was also quite spacious The lounge area was a nice place to relax also the self catering room was well equipped The free WIFI worked very well Breakfast was well cooked and included many items A very nice stay and good value for money

The location is amazing. The hostel is very nice. We had good meals and breakfast from the kitchen. We also used the guests kitchen to cook some meals. It was great to be able to use the washing machine and drier after a muddy walk

Parking is a nightmare!! Be warned. Book parking online beforehand with Just Park - if you can get their stupid app to work. Do NOT arrive without parking booked as there are only a few other spaces available. If you arrive late you could be totally stuck. The Just Park staff will not make any exceptions. There is also no wifi coverage so you will need to use the hostel wifi to try to book a parking space - and it will most likely be booked up. It is really annoying as the car park is empty at night, with hikers arriving early in the morning. There is a park and ride available (£5 + bus fares) but only until 6.45.

The accommodation was very basic; bunks and and shared amenities, as was reflected in the very reasonable price. Perfect if you're looking for somewhere warm and friendly as a base for walking up Snowdon on the Miner's or Pyg Paths. Self catering and eat-in options available.

Unfortunately since my last stay, the council have introduced eye-watering parking prices in the car park opposite (£40 for 24 hours). Limited free parking at the YHA on a first come first served basis. This is no fault of the YHA, but it can add considerably to what would otherwise be a budget stay.
