YHA Snowdon PEN-y-Pass

We stayed as a group of 38 sixth form students and staff in July, and we had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, flexible, and always willing to help—nothing was too much trouble. Communication in the lead-up to the trip was excellent, and they were extremely accommodating with dietary requirements and allergies, which gave us real peace of mind. The hostel itself is fantastic—clean, comfortable, and in a breathtaking location right on the mountain. We opted for the full board option, which was excellent value. The catered meals were great, especially the breakfasts, which set us up perfectly for our hikes. A few students also brought their own food and made use of the self-catering kitchen, which was impressively well-equipped with plenty of hobs, pans, and utensils. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable—ideal for a good night's sleep after a day outdoors. I would highly recommend this hostel to any school group or large party. It offers brilliant value for money, and I’m already planning a return trip—either with another school group or with my own family.
