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.

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.
