Great location for walking. Comfy bed, towels available to hire. Decent lounge area to get hot food and drinks.

Needed to pay for parking for 2 days as we arrived at 9pm the night before and left at 1pm the next day. Parking is £10 per day so ended up paying £20 for 14 hours.

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 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

Bed was a bit uncomfortable

The staff were so helpful and friendly. Great facilities including drying room for wet gear after being on the mountain all day.

YHA poster on the Llanberis side is not lighted anymore. (just as reminder for the staff) Soft drinks on the tap would have been an option for us (alcohol free beer)

Location is perfect for Crib Goch scramble or hike to summit. Breakfast also amazing as portion was to fill the man before day out. Room was as expected from YHA, clean sheets and room all round, however neighbouring visits to the toilet at night were waking our room up. This was caused by squeaky door. Oh and showers - 1 good thing one not so good -> Nice and hot water is 10, however the shower head was a bit like hose - and a separation curtain would help to keep clothes dry while showering. (not anything that would ruin life :P ) DRY ROOM is amazing feature if you know how to use soap to clean your clothes. Parking available on the other side of the road after about 15:00 and it's pricy- no discount for hostel guests :( WiFi is decent to check necessary stuff and better is available for an extra. Live weather update on the mountain would be amazing as this is why hostel is in superb location.

The hostel is situated in a very interesting building. Despite it's complicated layout everything was easy to find due to the signposts visible everywhere. The self-catering kitchen and dining areas were clean and well equipped. I also liked the bar and the lounge.

I asked them how to pay for car parking outside, they said just find the machine and pay. And it was far more complicated. I would appreciate more information about parking.

Locatiion is great , restaurant was good

I slept in a bunk bed in a dormitory for one night, and having booked for that sole purpose I can't say there is anything I didn't like.

The hostel gets a bit lost in that it has one of the best locations in the UK, because it does have the facilities expected and at a very good level too. But none the less, my likes: Great location, good food, comfortable stay, calm, easy check-in and check-out, and definitely great location! Free parking is available if lucky enough.

Self-cater kitchen was a trek from the room but still very thankful to have the self-cater option and kitchen was fab.

Incredible location, lovely staff at the front desk, warm room in Winter, incredible value for money - paid a lot more for a whole lot worse in other places. Thankyou for providing such a lovely budget friendly option!
