Totters Hostel

Caernarfon

Located in Caernarfon and within 13 km of Snowdon Mountain Railway, Totters Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 19 km from Snowdon, 37 km from Portmeirion and 47 km from Llandudno Pier. The hostel has family rooms. The Deluxe double room is amazing, huge and very comfortable (and with very nice views!); we had everything we could need. Shared spaces were also very clean and cosy, with books and games in the living room and a nice breakfast area set up in the kitchen in the morning. Henrietta and Bob were very friendly and welcoming! We had most of our trip planned as we mainly came for hiking, but Henrietta recommended a nice little hill a few minutes away (walking distance!) where we could enjoy a lovely view of the town and the mountains before heading back to catch the train. I am going to be back without any doubt.

Llangollen Hostel Self-catering 4 stars

Llangollen

Llangollen Hostel Self-catering is a 4-star, Victorian town house in the centre of Llangollen. It has free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen where guests can prepare their own food, a dining room plus a lounge with log burner, games and books. There are twins, doubles, family rooms, 4-bed quads and a 6-bed room, many of which are en-suite. Llangollen Hostel = standout quality. Delivers well beyond what they charge for their rooms. Which work well for families or individuals. The workers I dealt with, or saw dealing with other lodgers, were attentive and responsive. There's an excellent energy to the crew. At least one member speaks Welsh too! Which was fun for me, a Welsh-language learner. The establishment itself's conveniently located in a lovely town. Bed was good, room was quiet; I slept well. Definitely get a top-floor room if you can: the view!

An array of activities are offered in the area, such as cycling and hiking. We were already excited by the drive up through the beautiful wooded valley.

We were fortunate enough to have lots of sunshine so we enjoyed walks, a BBQ and a fire. We had plenty of shared meals in the big dining room.
