Stayed at YHA Llanberis with a group of colleagues for a team building. We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The place was clean and comfortable, especially for a hostel. The breakfast provided was excellent, with a variety of options to start the day right, including very tasty full English. Mike and the team truly went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable— great communication in advance, they had our rooms ready early and even offered to help with luggage transfer from car park in the village. In addition, camping pods are dog friendly. Overall, we were very satisfied and would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Up a track from the centre of town. Small car park, self catering kitchen, you can order breakfast from 7.30 am. There are some private rooms, Friendly staff, you can get alcohol here. It's an old building but everything was clean. Will definitely stay again

Great Youth hotel, stayed after the 3 peaks challenge. Julliette on reception was very helpful and welcoming, had a nice selection of drinks and we could eat our takeaway in the dining room. Room was, clean and beds very comfy. Outstanding views. Exceeded our expectations and we will return to use as base for more trips in Snowdon.

The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. The beds were comfy and the view from my bedroom window was breathtaking. Every meal was on time and delicious - there were empty plates every time. I would definitely go back and recommend for others.

I stayed here on bank holiday weekend. There were 14 of us raising money for the children's hospital we work at. It was perfect for what we needed. The lady that booked us in was lovely. Nothing was too much. The breakfast went down well with everyone too. Our legs are still quite sore but once the pain goes I'm sure some of us will want to do it all again. This place is well worth it.

Where do I start. 1 of the worst experiences in my life. A group of 5 people who were participating in the 3 peaks in 3 days challenge for cancer research and due to 1 of the team getting seriously injured and had to be taken to the hospital we were going to arrive 1 hour late according we called the hostel and explained the situation but the person we spoke to basically told us that it’s our problem and would not agree to any solution. Pretty much told us to find somewhere else and that we will not even get a partial refund. We offered to drive anywhere to give our IDs, or send them electronically or even not to leave the hostel the next day until we can give the IDs but her answers were again (it’s our problem and we should either be there in time or forget it) I would never recommend this place to anyone
