This hostel is tip top. Staff, facilities and cleanliness could not be faulted. My only area of concern is the lack of lockers to secure valuables. Ther is also no laundry which I thought was unusual given the amount of guests hiking and participating in strenuous outdoor activities.

Excellent accommodation

What a find base camp Snowdonia was. Very easy entry and check-in, as we arrived late and it was dark. The bedroom was very clean and the individual bunks with curtains made it very private, even though we were sharing. The whole place was very secure.
