We stayed at the hostel while we were hiking the Offa's Dyke trail. Jaimie was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The beds were comfy and the rooms were very clean. We were able to wash our dirty clothes and dry our boots, which was really helpful. Great price too! We were really happy we chose to stay here and will stay here again if we make it back to Llangollen!

I feel really lucky that we discovered this hostel for our last minute trip down to Llangollen. Jamie reached out via What's App with helpful information about our stay right after I booked and was always very quick to respond with any questions. As we came in on the train/but we didn't have a car to leave things in but we were able to store our luggage when we arrived before check-in and leave it when we checked out so that we could enjoy the full days in Wales before heading out.The hostel itself is incredibly clean and comfortable. The rooms are nice sized and the beds were comfy. We booked the "suite" which was two entire private rooms and a bathroom just for our two rooms. The rooms in the back have a lovely view of the town and the mountains. Our two rooms were about the same price as what we've payed for individual beds in hostels in some places, so this was an incredible value. The shared lounge was quite lovely and the kitchen was massive. The only downside was that we were just on a short one night trip and had to leave at the end! I would 100% come back to Llangollen just to stay here again.

It's a hostel so it was self catering as you'd expect. We had our own ensuite room. It was nicely decorated and clean - can't ask for more. The host was excellent and very knowledgeable. The hostel is located right on the edge of the main town making this a really useful spot.

Stayed here with our two children. The location was fantastic, we have an electric car and the chargers are literally at the back door to the hostel.Jamie was so attentive and just lovely. The kitchen was always clean and great facilities, definitely an added bonus having the lounge for somewhere to chill/play games in the evening. Would be my first choice if I was to return to the area.

Great for an overnight stay when attending a concert in llangollen. We had a double and twin room with a bathroom just for our use. The rooms are basic but have what you need and are spotless. Very pleasant and helpful manager there. Would definately stay again

We stayed here for three days. The rooms are very clean. There is a spacious kitchen and dining room. The car park is in front of the hostel. It is very convenient. There is an electric car charging point in front of the hostel. Wi-Fi is available. The person at the reception was very friendly. Supermarkets with all the necessities are very close by. Two other families were staying here with us. They are also very happy about the llangollen hostal.. ❤️ definitely choose next time too.
