Located in Caernarfon and within 13 km of Snowdon Mountain Railway, Totters Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 19 km from Snowdon, 37 km from Portmeirion and 47 km from Llandudno Pier. The hostel has family rooms.

The owner met us and welcomed us warmly. Our room was very comfortable. The shared bathroom was clean and functioned well. The dining and living areas were well-kept. The basement dining room is really lovely - ancient and rare. Continental breakfast with multiple options. Location was exceptional. Plenty of public street parking and paid parking nearby. We found a free spot to use overnight. If we had needed to pay, it was minimal. I highly recommend this hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, quirky and cosy Lodge. Secluded and safe but excellent base to explore. Local pub had tasty food and friendly atmosphere. Great for self catering as had oven, grill, microwave etc. In beautiful scenic land. Friendly and helpful host. It was a bit chilly but we had 2 heaters and electric blanket for bed heating.

    The breakfast is basic but satisfactory. The rooms are comfortable. The cafe and bar attached to the hostel are nice to relax in the evenings. Great location as the castle and waterfront are nearby. The owner was very friendly.

    Facilities were pristine, breakfast was great and the hosts were so welcoming. As three young women travelling alone, it was the safest we’ve ever felt in a hostel. Definitely exceeded expectations!!

    Great location, helpful staff, very clean. Good breakfast already laid out for our early departure at 0645. I last stayed at a ‘hostel’ about 30+ years ago. I wish they had been like Totters.
