Liked: 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!

Fantastic location, probably need more...

Liked: Location was superb and outdoor seating was great.
Disliked: Breakfast was ok. The continental breakfast very basic - sugary cereals and white bread and croissants.They said food finished at 830pm, we arrived at 829 to order having had a long day on the mountain and having run down the last bit of the miners track to be in time! But The kitchen had completely closed up and they could not even make us a sandwich. Was really disappointed in lack of flexibility. Lots of signs about saying we will be flexible and go above and beyond but not at pen y pass hostel!
