Basecamp Wales, hotel in Caernarfon

Basecamp Wales offers family-run hostel accommodation in Llanllyfni, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and 30.3 km from Pen-Y-Pass and 8.2 km to the beach at Dinas Dinlle.

The rooms were spotlessly clean with a nice view. The bathrooms, even though they shared, are really clean as well. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials. You can even buy some basic food (noodles, biscuits and eggs) by leaving money in the honesty box.There is a car park in front of the building. And most importantly, the guys who are running this place are nice, helpful and friendly.

The Heights Bunkhouse, hotel in Caernarfon

The Heights Bunkhouse is located in Llanberis, in the heart of the village, 100 metres from Lake Padarn and within walking distance of the Llanberis Snowdon Path.

The staff were friendly and considerate, the man on check-in moved me to a room with women rather than a mixed room and they did their best at every step to make sure everyone got a good room for them. It's a great location to walk the Llanberis path up Snowdon from. There's plenty of space, the food is good. I have no bad word to say. It's a hostel-type, so if you're expecting hotel level comfort then it's not going to cut it, but as long as your expectations are sensible it's great!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location a few minutes' walk from town centre, and Caernarfon also handy for Anglesey, Portmeirion, etc. House was comfy and generally very clean, easy to feel at home. There were only two of us staying but even though the house had plenty of room for more people it didn't feel like it was TOO big for us. Access via keysafe box made it easy to check in and out while also making it easy for one of us to go out while the other stayed in. Would definitely stay again if back in Caernarfon.

    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.
