Breakfast could be improved

Excellent service

Finding the location is a bit tricky, the post-code given doesn’t really match the location, so remember to follow signs for youth hostel on the road.

Great location, helpful staff, comfy beds with linen provided, would like to stay again. Excellent kitchen and shower facilities.

No wifi or phone signal - which can be positive unless you need to contact people then you need to go up the hill!

Great breakfast and location - we stayed in a pod which was cosy and clean.

location, price and communal kitchen

Stayed in July 2022

a small shelf alongside my bunk would have been useful, it is a long way to a shop if self catering

Location, breakfast, scenery, feeling of remoteness

Nothing it was exactly as you’d expect a YH to be.

Location was lovely, good facilities, good evening meal, nice bed, good breakfast. Don’t come here expecting luxury accommodation but for a YH it’s spot on. Lady working in the evening was brilliant, nothing was a bother to her.

Great location, staff and kitchen to use. The rooms could be a bit tidier, but still had a great time.

Double mattress was in the floor. No bed frame and felt really flat and hard.

1. The rail around the top bunk in my room was rather high, and dispite hving long legs (I'm 6 ft) I found it difficult (not impossible) to get into the bunk. 2. The walking route is very, very poorly marked (in both directions) between the hostal and the old drove road in the valley just to the east of Afon Tarrell. {The drove road is shown as both "Taff Trail" and "Beacons Way" on the O.S. map 1:25000 in squares 9721 and 9720.) This very important link to the hostal has been in this unsatisfactory condition for years, but only needs a few more signs put up at strategic points for it to becoms easy to follow. mssdep@bath.ac.uk for more clarification if needed.

Wonderful location and very hel[pful staff

Everything else

Some big groups end up taking over the shared spaces, but this is always possible at a walking hostel

Lovely location in a beautiful valley, staff were very friendly and good facilities for cooking. Basic but exactly what we were looking for at low cost, ready to start a long walk around pen y fan the next morning

Very small room for the price.

The views, location and well heated rooms.

Stayed in April 2022

Bottom bunk very low and not enough headroom to sit up- not easy to get in and out. Need more shelf space and hook for clothes. No local information, books or games, little comfortable seating. Perhaps this was due to covid restrictions. Not much space in kitchen for storing food not requiring fridge.

Location - good for walking, outdoor activities and local town. On a bus route if car not available. Garden area for sitting outside. Easy going atmosphere.

No wifi and poor signal but it was actually a blessing to be able to switch off.

Friendly welcome and they even called me before I arrived later than expected, just to see if I were safe. Thanks Jenny!

The room was way too hot for us, it was our own fault as we only realised in the morning we could turn the heating down.

We were self catering but we're given the option of breakfast and evening meal. The kitchen was well appointed and everything was very clean.

Location

Stayed in November 2021

Nothing only the paths are poorly lit between the pods.

The location is ideal if your planning to walk pen y fan. Also, YHA has spent a vast sum of money on the facilities in each YHA which is great.

There was a smell of bad drains in the hallway and coming from the sink in our room.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

The cabin was cozy and warm. The lounge facilities were good with a big table for games. The kitchen was too small to accompatecthe number of guests though
