Very, very good quality hostel, topped off by fantastic views. My only gripe is the lights/fan in the bathroom: it's automatic. What a brilliant idea: an automatic light switch, saves you all that effort of lifting your hand up and switching it on and off. The only problem is, when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the... More

We really enjoyed our weekend here. The location is fantastic for Snowdonia National Park, NCN5 and is, itself a very beautiful place. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the place was clean and practical, although quite limited fridge space (you might want to think about that when buying in food). We are certainly going to go back.

Another great YHA hostel :-) Booked as weather was rubbish, but room was great with good views of the sea and Snowdonia. Staff friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious for the family. The self catering kitchen was clean and well equipped.

Just come back from taking a group of school children to Conwy for a residential and needed to write a review. The place is top class, complete with breathtaking views of the harbour and mountains. The service was impeccable and the events organiser, Ben, was just fantastic! The place seems very popular with walkers and groups and is spotlessly clean.... More

Jewel in Conwy! Wonderful hostel surrounded by awesome views. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Room a little bit small, but modern and comfortable. Nice place to be your homebase in North Wales. Needs to post a more specific direction on how to get out of the hostel during off hours.

Excellent Hostel, friendly and helpful staff. Good location for access to local sights and restaurants in case you want to eat out and treat yourself. I arrived early and the staff was very accommodating in terms of check in and baggage storage

This hostel is a bit of a clamber up the hill from the train station. I stayed in a four bed dorm which was comfortable and quite spacious. Good sized lockers. The shower in the bathroom was quite small and had poor water pressure. The dining room was huge and has great views in both directions. Good place to chill... More

Our school has been going annually to this hostel for over 17years. We take about 36 yr5 children. Our stay is always one of the best. Made this way by the superb staff who work there.

Deep snow at Idwal YH meant we weren't allowed to camp there, but the helpful warden found a private room at Conwy - lucky for Easter weekend. We didn't specially relish heading into town, but the hostel was a really nice surprise: spacious, friendly, and above all, superbly situated with all-round views. It mightn't have the picturesque appeal of an... More
