Deep in the beautiful mountain scenery of north Wales, YHA Snowdon Llanberis is set on the doorstep of the Snowdonia National Park. It provides a daily buffet breakfast, and also has a TV lounge and a self-catering kitchen.

The majority of the bright rooms at YHA Snowdon Llanberis have bunk beds, and all share bathroom facilities.

We had a twin room. Location and facilities were nice and kept clean by all. Beds were comfy and showers were hot which was needed after a very wet and windy hike.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very nicely decorated, comfortable, and clean with lots of nice detail. A wonderful place to rest after traveling and hiking. Able to get warmed up and rested up and felt safe and secure. They have some pamplets and books about the area provided. Great location for exploring Northern Wales. We enjoyed looking for family history sites in the area and that was the perfect location. Thanks to Andrew for fixing the electricity problem promptly.

    Comfortable Bed, good variety of breakfast cereals. Staff were very friendly and it was a lovely place to stay. I would recommend it for anyone on a budget with a great location to travel. Individual reading light for each bed was useful and did not disturb other guests
