Nothing.
The bed lice. Booked a family.room and discovered bedlice. It was late 11.30pm and immediately called the property owner. Told us she has had this problem and had.locked.other.rooms to contain the spread. We.slept in a damp lobby that night. She.promisd.me a full refund and I never received it. Not very sincere and stay.there at your own peril.
Helpful staff helped me when checking in late No frills but comfortable and clean
Great reception but a better confirmation email would have speared her hanging about. Point out which door should be used.
Wifi explanation: it took me until midnight to work out which router to use and the passkey. The pubs nearby could have been a problem in hot summer but weren't for me.
距离城堡很近,小镇很小,但到的时候下雨所以没有逛。从这里可以公交去斯诺登山,比班戈近一些。青旅入住的时候没有住满,但我们选择了两人间,是个上下铺,床很宽卫生间和淋浴间在房间外面,淋浴需要一直按钮,几秒就得再按。吹风机需要找老板借,因为当天淋雨了很冷,吹风机坏了,老板让店员帮忙从家里带过来一个使用,非常感谢!厨房就是一层餐吧台,所以没有灶台,只能用空气炸锅、微波炉做一些简单的快餐。
Stinking
Comfy wooden bunk bed, a bit like pods
Not many toilets but didn't have to queue
This hostel is the central part of Caernarfon, so it is close to the castle, to all the restaurants, to Menai Strait, etc. Su is a great host and when I found bed bugs, she took a really great care of me - she picked me up in the middle of the night and took me to her other location in Bangor, she washed all of my clothes and steamed all of my other stuff.
Shared kitchen was quite filthy. I couldn't find any clean dishes. They were washed, but there was some weird film on them. Also there wasn't much space to wash it properly, so that was probably the reason. Also tables weren't clean and the floor was sticky. Rooms looked quite clean, but at the same time it felt unclean. But than I unfortunately found bed bugs in my bed. So that was probably that unclen feeling.
Pratique et bien placé
Il n'y a pas de salle commune
The facilities and the cleanliness. Top notch!
The room was Hot and the Duvet was too thick. Maybe if there was a way the rooms could have a thermostat or a Duvet + throw option
The location, ambiance and the interior of the common room with breakfast materials and comfortable sitting and working environment.
I met the staff member only once and other than that I have never seen her for any questions

Pratique quand on cherche un lit mais on est plutôt chez des marchands de sommeil. On est très à l’étroit.
Su was an incredibly welcoming host! The bunkhouse is tidy, comfy and has all you need for a great stay. It's right in the city center with plenty to keep you occupied. The decor of the place is amazing, someone clearly has arranged it with a lot of care and passion.
Weird receptionist in evening, told .e breakfast at 10am? Also no odyssey yelling you much about any ities. Life music? No way ! Commercial tunes playing at downstairs bar. Ery Weird atmosphere. Ended with a pig snoring loud all night and stinky....not worthy at all !!! Avoid this sh.t hole ! And I travelled around a lot for 20 years ! Rip off
As mentioned
The room was really small, smelly and warm, the window could open only a little and the only way to have some ventilation was a noisy fan that has gone on the whole night. My mattress was old and ruined and I could feel every spring, which made my night extremely uncomfortable. There were no shelves either in the room or the bathroom, and my plug was broken so could not recharge my devices overnight. The toilet was dirty and the sinks were in the corridor with no privacy at all. Some guests were let into the room later than midnight, all the lights were turned on when we were sleeping and they were extremelly disrespectful and loud throughout the whole night. No one has done anything about it so that it was absolutelly impossible to sleep. Honestly the only good thing was the shower but everything else was absolutely below standards of decency and the place definitely does not worth 38 pounds per night (I wouldnt give them not even 10!). I will never go back again and I would not recommend it at all.
The convenience
Staff were very polite and accommodating.. Su is doing a fantastic job there, will miss her!!!!! Exceeded every expectation I thought possible.
Stairs!!!. Long way up to my bed!!!
What a lovely location. I’ve stayed in a few places over the years in Caernarfon but this property is definitely my favourite. We had room number 5 so we were situated in the roof. With two large skylight windows we had stunning views of the surrounding Menai Straights/Anglesey and across Caernarfon. Both sofas in the main room pulled out as 1 single bed and a double bed, plus we had an extra bedroom with 1 double bed and 2 single beds, providing plenty of sleeping arrangements for us all. We also had a microwave, full size fridge, a very large flatscreen TV, cutlery and plates, and an ensuite bathroom with a pretty big shower, so we literally had everything we could possibly want. I feel the room far exceeded any hotel room I’ve stayed in over the years and was far cheaper. The property is situated a 1 minute walk from Caernarfon Castle and a 4 minute walk from the local bus station. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Caernarfon. 5⭐️’s all day long.
There was nothing bad about this property.
Emplacement parfait: montagne, plages, paysages fabuleux à proximité!
Absolutely amazing place to stay, it was a last-minute booking with two in need kids , and both loved it . We booked the family room. Would absolutely book again. The are is in also amazing close to all amenities .
Nothing we all loved it .
Just about everything
Shower needs to stay on a nit longer before needing to be restarted
Was well laid out room and very clean
Not enough information given on arrival
Great beds, room was clean, local to all shops.
None.
Great location, nearby grocery stores, pubs, and good access to public buses for hiking trails.
My wifi and cell service was inconsistent in the area, but some others staying at same time did not have issues so seems to depend on your carrier.
場所が良い

The location is great. It’s in the castle walls and a short walk away from the waterfront and the bus stops. The bunks are nice and clean and have plugs and lights in them. The cafe and bar are cool too.
I can understand why they do this but it’s something to note. The showers are the type where you have to keep pressing the button, and no temp control but it was a good default temp. The room I was in had a sticky latch so sometimes it wouldn’t lock properly unless you fiddled with it a bit.
Cooked breakfast would of been preferred but continental breakfast was ok
The accommodation is quite clean. The showers are shared, with two on each floor, and the toilets are separate. The dormitory rooms have a total of 8 beds and can be arranged as male or female only. Inside the room, there are both fans and heaters, but no hairdryer is provided. The room rate includes breakfast, which usually consists of bread, jam, milk, coffee, cornflakes, and yogurt. The hotel is conveniently located, not far from the castle, Iceland, and Asda, with many restaurants around the area.
You can hear noises from the surrounding rooms, like people talking or doors opening, but I didn’t find it too disturbing.
I've stayed here before. Su and her sraff are always very helpful. Not a full English breakfast but a perfect breakfast if you're going walking for the day. Bar down stairs with a good choice of well kept beers, cocktails, etc. Perfecr location. Near the rrain staton and the bus station. A perfect base for getting around Snowdonia by bus.
Nothing. Will be sraying there again when in teh area.
The owner Su was so incredibly warm and welcoming she did everything in her power to make me feel at home. The property was in an EXCELLENT location and was always very very clean
Nothing
A loud snoring in my room. Better bring your ear plugs or borrow from the hotel
Warm , clean
Parking can be difficult , dorms need to be separate for female and men
The location is perfect for the airport. The room was clean, everything worked, and the plumbing was excellent. The staff were truly exceptional: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything from luggage to local advice. The atmosphere felt warm and almost family-like.
Nothing significant. Everything worked as expected and the service exceeded expectations.
10/10 the lady Coffee was very nice and friendly
No ventilation in the bathroom and the room was cold ❄️❄️
Comfortable beds.
Little expensive for a hostel.
Slept very well, as the stuff made my stay very convenient and safe. Was happy that I was in a quiet lovely dorm female only, for people who go to bed early. Thanks.
Really comfortable tidy beds and a great location! Quiet. Breakfast included is generous!
Note there are no kitchen facilities. No fridge to store food (i gave mine to a staff member to put somewhere but it got thrown out).
It's was a very good price for a last minute booking!
There wasn't much to not like :)
It was in a great location quirky property with great decor and really friendly helpful staff. Loved it
We found it really hard to locate signage could be better but that honestly is the smallest of things.
朝食がかなり充実していました。シャワーもトイレも問題なく使えました。ハンガーがあるのも助かりました。
夕方になると日によっては、かなり暑くて部屋に居られないことがありました。扇風機はありましたが、なかなか寝付けませんでした。
Great location and lovely staff
The room was roasting (not the hostels fault more so the heatwave and 2 people in the room came in around 2:30am and turned on all the lights. Again not the hostels fault. A wee curtain over the beds would be nice for privacy.
Lovely staff, atmosphere, facilities clean and tidy, beds were comfy, with individual lights and charging points. Gluten free bread and cereal at breakfast. If you have a "normal" diet, you would love the simple, but plentiful continental breakfast.
No designated parking, but I was lucky with finding a post 6pm place nearby. All the jams and spreads were in sharing jars, which is a little difficult on the cross contamination front for coeliacs, but I never expect special treatment. Storage space for bags was at a premium
Continental style breakfast spread very comprehensive; more than adequate to start the day. I felt the setup in the breakfast room was very welcoming.
Sadly, Caernarfon revellers returning to the dorm at 1:30 am made for a sleepless night. Note to self: avoid Saturday nights! Albeit staff were friendly and the breakfast very good, £48 is a lot to pay for a totally sleepless night spent sheltering in my car because there was no common room accessible to escape a noisy dorm.
Good location.
This is really a guest house. It is branded as an inn with private rooms. There is one family room that is ok, and this is what we got, but the vibe, atmosphere, and facilities are suitable for a guest house and not an inn for family with children. Breakfast is quite poor.
Sus was so lovely and helpful also her sister was very polite aswell. The family room was amazing so much space and lots of things available to use. I would definitely go back when we go again.
Su was such a sweet host. Her bar in the basement with live music is awesome 👌. The bed was clean, and the common areas were also very well maintained. Thanks, Su, for helping in getting my ear pods, which stuck between the radiator gap 😊
Quirky. Well laid out. Solid, well built wooden bunk beds.

La gentillesse de l hote
Près de bars bruyants le samedi soir.
Easy access and able to book at short notice. Easy reach of regular bus services. Good breakfast. .
Staff were the best I’ve ever encountered professional friendly and helpful legends
Pulita e posizione centrale, giusta qualità prezzo
Comfortable accommodation and welcoming staff, great breakfast selection and mini bar in the basement.
Everything. The lady who owns the place and cooks amazing Thai food is brilliant. Great place right in the centre of Caernarfon. Stayed 2 nights.
Bit of a Squeeze in the bunk beds but that's Hostals for ya. Worth going just for the food
Very friendly staff. Excellent location close to the port, the castle and pubs around the town. Beds very comfortable. Small lockers with keys available for personal goods. Towels available for rent.
Breakfast was simple in choice, but sufficient in size and in a comfortable dining basement.
Alojamiento acogedor, único, en el corazón de una ciudad Preciosa como Caernarfon. El personal siempre atento y muy amable. Seguro que volveré.
Value for money. Good welcome and service.
All good. £3 for a towel is fair.
Su, the host, was friendly and helpful. We had an excellent meal in the bar and enjoyed listening to a jazz group
