YHA Conwy

A nice, clean and friendly venue. I little bit tucked away but not too bad. Staff are lovely. Lounge area is light and airy. The rooms were spacious and clean but shower did not empty quickly. I had to keep turning it off and waiting for water to clear. There was full internet signal in our room which was a blessing. Ample parking and safe location. Maybe 10 minutes walk into town. But…please learn to cook veggie sausages properly…they were completely uncooked on the inside.

Excellent staff and location and had a very pleasant, homely atmosphere. This is the first time I've stayed in a YHA for around 30 years and I was very pleasantly surprised. The bedrooms are basic but exactly what's needed, and the town center is a just a few minutes walk.

On arrival Ruth was pleasant and particularly helpful. In dealing with guests John was amiable and extremely patient. Amy was attentive and professional. Ruth, John and Amy worked really well together as a team - calm and diligent. |The young, presumably student, staff showed initiative and always kept themselves occupied. On departure Zach again offered good customer service.|Cooked breakfasts were excellent.

Loved the large dining room with panoramic views of the mountains on one side and Conwy Estuary on the other. Nice big room with ensuite facilities and view of the garden. Sleep quality slightly affected if you are a light sleeper as there can be noises from plumbing and doors, from our room at least (No: 5) Did not affect my husband! We are YHA members since 2017 and stayed in about 20 hostels so far, will rate this in our top three!

Really great stay in a family en suite room. Big and comfortable common area, good cooking facilities, helpful and friendly staff.|We were lucky with great weather, so we could enjoy amazing views on both sides of the common area/dining area. |Lovely walks up Conwy mountain, setting straight off from the YHA. A short walk down to Conwy and the Castle.|Highly recommended!|As others have said, the rooms can get hot, so it's best to get out and enjoy the countryside!

We spent a very happy 3 nights here in half term. A family with 2 adults and 2 children age 10 and 12.||Our room was spacious and the en suire shower room was clean and had an excellent shower and shower head and plentiful hot water. We had a room with 4 (bunk) beds||The room had beautiful views but the very large window wall, where the sun streams in all morning, only had 1 very small window which only opens a small amount. This made the room very hot. It was not that hot when we were there but the room was boiling. I imagine in the summer when the weather is properly hot the room would be too hot to sleep.||The curtains are not black out, but are dark ish.||The self catering kitchen was excellent, clean and well equipped. We made a few meals and picnics in this space. My children were 10 and 12 which made breakfast quite expensive. We ate it 1 day and it was very nice, but the other days we saved ourselves £40 and sorted out ourselves.||The WiFi in the public spaces is good.||The TV in the lounge is a large size and has all the free channels.||There is a washing machine available (£1) and a drying room where you can leave wet coats and muddy boots. You can also safeky store bikes.||There is a spacious enclosed garden so children can play safely and freely.||Lots of books and games and toys for both children and adults||The views are out of this world, especially in the kitchen and dining room.||There are several lounge areas including the top level view lounge (not served by the lift) with amazing views.||There is a large Spar about 10 minutes walk away, which includes a decent "free from" section and non dairy milks.||The train station is about 10 minutes walk away.||Conwy is lovely to visit with lots of nice restaurants and fish n chips and pubs a short walk away. We enjoyed a boat trip from Conwy too.||There is a nice pub style restaurant at Conwy Marina which is a gorgeous 30 minute walk away following the coastal path.||The whole area is full of fun things to do, and walks etc.||We had a very enjoyable stay here, our 7th YHA holiday so far, and definitely the best.||If you want a cheap and cheerful place with loads of fun family activities, or walks, or NT places, where you can self cater then you can't go too far wrong staying here.||I look forward to returning again soon.

We stayed in May / June 24 as a family with 2 adults and a 10 and 12 year old.|Our 7th yha hostel holiday and definitely the best yet!|We had a 4 bed room with 2 (bunk) beds and an ensuite shower room.|Shower was clean and hot water with good pressure.|The room was spacious. Each bunk had a plug and there were more plugs as well.|The room had an entire window wall which gave great views.|It was also like a suntrap / greenhouse and made the room VERY hot. There was 1 small window which only opened slightly.|The curtain design meant you couldn't block all the sun without blocking the window and the cooler air the room desperately needed. I imagine in the warmer summer months the room would be far to hot to sleep comfortably.|The curtains were not black out but were darkish.|We only had 1 pillow on each bed but I asked for more and it was no problem.||The communal areas had decent WiFi.||Down stairs there are washing machines (£1), a drying room for wet coats and muddy boots, and they will store bikes for you too.|Also a TV lounge with a large selection of books, games and toys to suite adults and children. You can access the large enclosed garden from the lounge so children have plenty of space to play safely.|There is Also a games room where you need cash to play things like table football.|On the first floor is the reception and a large dining room including sofa areas and the communal kitchen.|There are more books and colouring etc on shelves in this room. The views from this room are amazing! |You can order food here or cook your own in the well equipped kitchen.|We had breakfast once but at £40 for our family of 4 to eat breakfast we only had it once. The breakfast was good and tasty. Full English, and continental with tea, coffee juice, cereal, croissant, jam etc. ||The kitchen has 4 sinks, 4 fridges, 1 freezer, 4 ovens, 5 hobs, 3 microwaves, toasters and is really well equipped including cafetier, tea pot, jugs, egg cups and everything else you might need. This room also has the most amazing views and access to picnic tables for alfresco dining.|All rubbish needs to be sorted and there are bins for most things including food waste. Brilliant.|And a water bottle refill station too.||The second floor has bedrooms and another small sitting area next to a window with views, then there's the 3rd floor observation lounge with awesome views in every direction.||The staff are friendly and visible. The whole place was clean and tidy and spacious. We could always find a quiet space to sit.||There is free parking though we quite often got the last space.|The train station is about a 10 minutes walk away.|There is a large spar shop about 10 mins walk away, which includes a relatively large "free from" section and many dairy free milk alternatives.||Conwy is beautiful. With pubs and shops and cafes and fish n chips. We had a lovely boat ride and saw the smallest house. Also the castle ||The marina is about a 30 minute walk along the coastal path and has a pub restaurant which we enjoyed eating at.||There is so much to do in North Wales.||We had a truly fantastic half term holiday here and look forward to returning.||Highly recommend if you want a cheap and cheerful holiday with lots to do.

Very unhelpful youth hostel. Booked to go. I have permanent ligament damage in my ankle which gives way without warning so requested to reserve bottom bunk. They claimed they too.small room to reserve bottom bunk. £44 lost. Other youth hostels i stayed at even small roomed ones were happy to reserve bottom bunk.
