YHA Idwal Cottage

Stay below the impressive Glyder mountains with views of the Nant Ffrancon Valley at this former quarry manager’s cottage. Recently refurbished and great for families, you can be sure of a warm welcome at this environmentally-conscious hostel. All levels of walks can be found in the immediate area, and you won’t need to travel far for world-class mountain bike trails. It’s perfectly placed for strolls to see Rhaeadr Ogwen Waterfalls or Cwm Idwal nature reserve (with its dramatic lake) and Devil’s Kitchen.

A gem.

Reviewed By Nadege R

A little gem nestled in an awesome location with its own private car park (glad it has its own otherwise parking would be a problem). It’s ideally located for walkers to discover the Ogwen Valley or to venture to Anglesey or Snowdon. The hostel itself is a little beauty, I had the single bedroom. Perfect for solo travellers or families. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Next to the beach

Reviewed By Amn02

Location is ideal for beach lovers, hikers . We didn't get to have any sunny day during our stay, so couldn't avail the stay to its full. The view from the dining hall is amazing. There is Londis at 5 min walk for essential grocery. There are other stores like Morrisons, Aldi about 10min drive away. To get boat trip for Skomer island , it was a 15 min drive. It was a peaceful location so anyone wanting a break from a busy city life, would love this place.

Beautiful coastal trekking

Reviewed By khalid307

Very friendly staff, room was good. Self catering so we brought all our food with us. We did a BBQ on the beach too. Coastal trek to Rhossili took 3.5 hrs but was great.. Did the Worms Head trek too, tough but worth the views. The Three Cliffs Bay beach is a must (did a BBQ there too.)

The Rocks at Plas Curig Hostel

A mountain hostel set in the heart of the stunning Snowdonia National Park crafted as a base camp for adventurers, mountain gurus, ramblers, and those with a genuine love for the outdoors. This family run, 5 star dog-friendly hostel sits just off the A5, the main artery of Snowdonia. It can be found nestled just minutes away from Betws-y-Coed, the Ogwen Valley and the Snowdon Horseshoe. If it is location that you are after, then The Rocks at Plas Curig offers the perfect base for you from which to explore. With breathtaking walks direct from the door, from the novice to expert you can be on top of a mountain a thousand metres above sea level in the morning and sat on the beautiful sands of one of our many blue flag beaches in the afternoon. Snowdonia and the beautiful North Wales coastline has something for everyone. Nestled underneath Moel Siabod and peeking over the River Llugwy, it is quietly tucked away in the ancient mountain village of Capel Curig. Within easy reach of the hostel just minutes down the road, stands the stunning Snowdon - the highest mountain in Wales and England.

A lovely experience!

Reviewed By simonrQ3246TS

We only stayed for one night as we were heading to Zip World the next day. It was a last minute decision to book some accommodation. Needless to say, the prices were all very high so we decided on this hostel as something different for the kids too. Our room was ready as soon as we checked in just after 5 ( strictly no arriving before 5) and was exactly what you'd expect in a luxury hostel including the comfiest beds ever! The kids loved the uniqueness of the funky bunk beds and the games in the communal area. We'd definitely come back but not leave it too last minute to book! P.S Best bacon in the cafe next door!

Last minute getaway and first stay in YHA

Reviewed By Sofia P

It was the first time staying in a YHA hostel which I had booked as a last minute trip for my six year old and me. The hostel is in an ideal location for the town of Conwy within walking distance of the main sights shops and restaurants. The facilities were great and my son particularly enjoyed the games room. The room and en suite were spotless and staff were very helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money and I will certainly be booking to stay at other hostels in future.

On the doorstep of the city centre Security from the front door to every room, including under bed storage also very secure. Bed very comfortable, crisp clean linen and the toilets and showers are immaculate. The common room/kitchen also very clean and the cooking facilities are top notch. The projector for watching the Netflix/Amazon etc is a bonus for a chilled night. Staff are available 24/7 for any queries or help that is needed. (Rowan) above and beyond my bhoy Overall.....
