United KingdomIt was great, loved the space, the beds in the room were huge, we all had a double bed each. The kitchen and lounge were spacious and had everything you needed. Easy to find and good parking. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends!

United KingdomExcellent place to get your head down for a few nights whilst exploring the area. Friendly helpful knowledgable staff, really nice and clean, lovely hot showers. Over-exceeded my expectations by far, excellent value for money. Really nice place.
Kloe

United KingdomAccommodation is immaculate and the bunk beds are comfortable. Staff are helpful and take time to offer you advice on nearby places to visit. On the two different occasions I have visited guests have been considerate of others and keep kitchen spotless. Really good value for money. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else and will continue to recommend.

United KingdomLovely staff, great location, great price. Good for single travellers. Large single room, shared kitchen. Great for on a budget, and very near Snowden. If you don't fancy camping but don't want to spend a fortune on a hotel, then I would definitely recommend Basecamp Wales as an alternative.

Lucy

United KingdomI wouldn't normally stay in a hostel but i figured that as we were climbing snowdon it really would just be a place to lay our heads. I was pleasantly surprised, the accommodation was very clean and well looked after. The 2 brothers were really friendly and gave us some good local knowledge. Will 100% be booking again.
