What a gem of a place to find. We stayed for one night. Our party had single rooms with shared facilities and one room was an en suite room for 4.
Bunk beds in shared rooms. Bear in mind if you have climbed Snowdon, you might not want to climb into a top bunk!
Great kitchen facilities to self cater and a range of nearby take aways that deliver. Parking is plentiful and there are chickens and alpacas to see and feed.
Great prices to stay. Beds were comfy. The shared showers weren't amazing but got you wet. Very clean. WiFi available in the hostel itself.
Views of Snowdon from some rooms which is lovely. Bedding, towels and hand soap provided, along with washing up liquid and the usual kitchen bits and bobs. Bring your own food and drink. Tea and coffee available for a very small charge. Television in shared lounge and plenty of tables to eat at. Only down was the location. It's very out of the way on the other side from Snowdon.
If you're driving it's not an issue.
Friendly staff and lots of knowledge of local area. You may get disturbed by banging doors as people come in and out of rooms at different times. But apart from that it's a quiet out of the way hostel where you can meet and chat with like minded people.
I would stay here again and would recommend.

Highly recommended 👌. It was my girl birthday holiday and her face can tell that she was really happy. Beautiful place, very clean and people running the place extremely helpful. Thank You. We will be certainly coming back in a future.

Booked for an overnight stay with my son. Wasn't sure to expect for the price but we had an excellent stay. Tim and Tom were super friendly, the place was spotless and all you need after exploring Snowdonia. If you want luxury then this isn't for you. If you want a friendly place to relax and unwind after exploring the lakes, mountain beaches etc then this is definitely for you. Great value, we will be back.

Friendly owners, decent rooms had 3 beds, cupboard/wardrobe, sink and mirror.
Shared bathrooms but didn't affect stay. Always clean.
We loved the fact we was sharing the kitchen, dining room, TV and pool room because it was a nice atmosphere being with other explorer's to talk too.
Perfect location for all our activities including view of snowdon Mountain.
We intend on going back to base camp for more Welsh adventures one day.
Best chow mein I've ever had from the local Chinese FYI, Beijing something???

Excellent value for money. The communal facilities weren't outstanding but more than adequate. Only criticism was that the room I was on had a communal balcony and the only ventilation in the room was to open the door which meant anyone along the balcony could walk in.

Excellent value for money stayed for one night. The facilities were good and the staff was really helpful with assisting with places to visit and options for food.

Excellent facilities and incredibly well priced for its position, cleanliness and helpfulness of the two friendly owners. It's perfect for the lone traveller who simply needs a base from which to explore Snowdonia and the surrounding area. It's also perfect for families working on a tight budget. What you get for your money is well in excess of what you pay for as the rooms, lounge and kitchen are all incredibly good. I would wholeheartedly advise anyone to try it as I'm sure most would return as I always do.
