Pleased to stay in YHA as planning for hike Snowdon early in the morning. It is also accessible with public transport hourly. Rooms are clean & well served with youths. Have water fill area, drying area, catering area(can cook/reheat meals self), free wifi, bar & rest area. The staffs are also good & friendly. Very much recommend to stay YHA if wanna hike for Snowdon from Miner/PYG track early in the morning.

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.

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.

YHA Pen-y-Pass was our GCSE Geography field studies base providing a springboard for our trips out to the surrounding area - Llanberis, Ogwen, Beddgelert and Nant Gwynedd. It is good accommodation for our students. From the warm welcome, the good standard rooms and good food to the ever helpful staff, the students and school staff were well catered for across the 4 days of our stay. Thank you and hope to see you again next year.

We initially planned to say for 3 nights and extended to 4, the hostel is absolutely fantastic. Its location is perfect for getting out amongst the mountains, and at the price point the accommodation ticks all the boxes. It’s not a luxurious stay, but it makes up for that with excellent and friendly staff, comprehensive facilities including a drying room for your kit, and a self serving kitchen that was well supplied. The bar and restaraunt were perfect after a long day in the hills, and the staff lit the fire when we asked. There’s a real sense of shared interests here and the vibe is much more interesting and welcoming than many hotels.
