I booked my stay very last minute after a change of plan. The bunkhouse was clean, tidy and warm when I arrived and I had good communication from the wardens. I love this bunkhouse for its location and amazing drying room to hang all my adventure kit!

The Vagabond Bunkhouse, hotel in Betws-y-coed

Offering a restaurant, The Vagabond Bunkhouse is located in Betws-y-coed, known as the gateway to Snowdonia National Park.

Lodge Dinorwig, hotel in Llanberis

Located in Llanberis, 25 miles from Portmeirion, Lodge Dinorwig features views of the mountain.

What an absolute gem of a place to stay! The owners were very welcoming, the hostel is spotlessly clean, and such a quirky set up being an old school. Loved that! Highly recommend a stay! I arrived at night but waking up early and seeing the views from the hostel was lovely, its in a beautiful spot! Please take the time to wander along the road to the old slate quarry, well worth a visit!

    It was cheap to stay but I chose it because there was no other option nearby while doing the Snowdonia Way. The owner, Brian was nice and helpful and the dog Blue and the cats were lovely. The shared bathrooms are newly renovated and clean.

    Owners were very accommodating and helpful, and flexible with out specific requirements as well. The facilities were impressive, with a large and fully fitted kitchen, well maintained and all toilets and showers were clean and spacious. The setting was incredible also, we only stayed for one night, however will be returning. This hostel would make a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. And the building itself is memorable and unique, truly one of the best hostels you could visit.
