Stayed in a group of 3 the night before climbing Snowdon. Hostel was very clean and friendly, breakfast was provided and the the place felt very relaxed. Couple of points to be aware of - rooms don't have locks on them and there were 3 lockers in our rooms but only one worked. I had travelled straight from work and... More

We (four of us) stayed at the hostel for two nights in mid April, as we planned to climb Snowdon over the weekend. It is well located in the centre of Caernarfon, right near the castle. We had a six-bed room to ourselves which was great. All the facilities are clean and the communal areas were spacious - there is... More

The best thing about this hostel is it's location - just inside the town wall and a few steps away from the sea. Great facilities, friendly staff, spacious room - what more could I ask for! For budget conscious travellers, Morrison's is not far away and their salad bar is perfect for a very cheap but nice meal for the... More

Paid £17 for overnight stay which included cereal and toast for breakfast. Able to use kitchen to make hot drinks and you can even cook your own... More

Stayed here twice this year, once with a diving group and was perfect for us and another time with a friend for a short break. Friendly staff, good location but parking can be a bit hit and miss, huge downstairs dinning area, TV lounge and standard type dorms. Will use again and recommend.

I have stayed at many hostels in my life and in my opinion this the best hostel ever. Comfortable, warm, clean, supportive, friendly, having good amenities, and all for £17 a night. The hostel has easy access to the Wales' premier mountain country side, beaches unspoiled by commercialism, and nearby access to the magnificent Caernafon castle. There are wonderful walks... More

I stayed here for two nights midweek in early September. Paid £17 per night including breakfast. Booked by email to the hostel. An excellent atmospheric location within and almost adjacent to the town wall. Very near to the castle and waterfront and town centre. I did not have a car with me, but there is a large car park very... More

This is the best hostel I've stayed in. It's better than most hotels I've stayed in. It's hard to get a great atmosphere but this place has managed it. The rooms are clean and modern .The beds are very comfortable. Great dining room. Good kitchen. Very warm welcome. I don't think I could have asked for anything more but then... More

Had a fantastic stay at Totters over the bank holiday weekend. Really clean, modern and comfy hostel. The dorm room was very nice, with comfortable bed. Bathroom was modern with hot power showers! The breakfast (included in the reasonable price!!) was nice with a good range of cereals and preserves for toast. Tea and coffee facilities were available all day.... More
