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 Basecamp is the perfect hostel to stay in within the area. The staff are really friendly and welcoming when showing you around the property/Room. The Room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfy to sleep in. And a lovely little balcony area to see the views of the Snowdonia National Park. The bathroom was clean and maintained. The showers were self explanatory clean, working correctly for the setting you needed it to be (really hot or really cold). The living room/ lounge area was large in size had plenty of places to sit down never felt crowded around people or in the way. Lots of entertainment tv, pool and an area for the children to play sit down and play in. The kitchen was also large in size and had plenty of surface room to prepare and make food. Fridge was big enough to store all your refrigerated food for everyone in the stay. Never short of kitchen appliances and crockery. Bins were easily labelled correctly for better use of recycling (plastic, cupboard, food-waste etc.) Outside the property is facing beautiful scenery. Also plenty of parking places.

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.
