This hotel was good and price is quite reasonable. And the most important thing is that the area of this city was really beautiful. Hill sights view was really really good.

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.

Stayed for one night a few Friday's ago. Arrived late, just before 10pm and were greeted by the most friendly and accommodating clerk at the counter. Can't fault her manner and service. Had a nice pint at the bar and played pool in the games room before retiring to a comfy room with an en suite. Following morning had a cracking full breakfast before heading up onto Snowdon via Crib Goch in the snow and ice.
