Me, my partner and our two dogs have been there for two nights. On my way there I scared myself as I booked hostel instead of a proper hotel. After conversation with lovely lady everything was fine. We had our room with two beds, everything clean. Staff is absolutely amazing. Made us welcome and comfortable. Very good breakfast. Thank you so much for looking after us, we definitely will be back!!❤️

I had an incredible stay at Ty Glyndwr! Su is an amazing host, so welcoming and friendly. She went above and beyond, even inviting us to her daughter's 21st birthday celebration at the cocktail bar, which was such a special experience. The cocktails were fantastic with a vast array to choose from, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The artwork around the place adds a lovely touch, giving it a warm and unique feel. The location is perfect, close to everything, and the beds were super comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. Su is truly lovely, and I can't wait to come back again!

One of the best place in the city, with the friendliest owner. Good prices, good quality beds and company, good breakfast. Not only that, but it is located at a very good place within the city which will allow you to access every business you would want by foot. Big recommend from me.

Tŷ Glyndŵr Bunkhouse & Su’s Cocktail Bar is such a special place, I almost don’t know where to begin! From the moment We stepped through the door, Su made us feel incredibly welcome. She’s the kind of host who makes you feel like an old friend coming to visit, not just a guest.The bunkhouse itself was spotless. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and the whole place had a really clean, fresh feel. The facilities were great too—everything worked perfectly, and it was clear a lot of care had gone into keeping the place well-maintained.Breakfast in the morning was such a treat. Su prepared a lovely continental spread each day with Toast, cereals, fruits, and a variety of drinks. There was something for everyone, and it was such a nice way to start the day without any fuss.But what really made the stay stand out was Su’s cocktail bar downstairs. She is *so* talented when it comes to mixing drinks, and the bar had such a great vibe. The cocktails were top-notch—creative, well-balanced, and genuinely delicious. And as if that wasn’t enough, Su is an incredible artist. Her abstract paintings, which decorate the guest house and bar, are deep and really thought-provoking. It adds a personal touch to the space, making it feel unique and full of character.A personal highlight was when Su invited us to her daughter’s 21st birthday celebration at the bar. It was such a fun night, and it was so kind of her to include us in something so personal. It made the whole experience feel even more special. Plus, her dog is the cutest little companion you’ll ever meet—just one more reason the place felt like a home away from home.Tŷ Glyndŵr is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience full of warmth, creativity, and great company. Su goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit!

High bunk bed space, rare to find among hostel; really clean building and facilities.No kitchen, not much space to fridge things, dont expect to cook anything. I was told to use a fridge but my things were moved, hence I forgot to take, sad.Really fast wifi speedNice amount of breakfast- variety of milk (the only protein you can find), different flavours of yogurt, bread and jam; you can have as much as you want/ need.The town is small, close to nearby attractions
