Totters Hostel, hotel in Caernarfon

Located in Caernarfon and within 13 km of Snowdon Mountain Railway, Totters Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi.

Staff were so friendly and helpful in showing me around the place. Such a lovely space they have set out, the room was very homely and the included breakfast had everything you could need. Location is right near the Caernarfon castle and central to the main town centre.

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.

    Great location a few minutes' walk from town centre, and Caernarfon also handy for Anglesey, Portmeirion, etc. House was comfy and generally very clean, easy to feel at home. There were only two of us staying but even though the house had plenty of room for more people it didn't feel like it was TOO big for us. Access via keysafe box made it easy to check in and out while also making it easy for one of us to go out while the other stayed in. Would definitely stay again if back in Caernarfon.
