YHA Idwal Cottage

Another amazing YHA stay. We had the cabin, really spacious and warm with the storage heater. Perfect location and plenty of walks directly from here. Friendly staff, clean all around, limited fridge space as I guess the hostel was busy during the school half-term. Parking is free from 5pm-10am; if parking during the day, there's a £6 charge, still worth it.

This place is great to meet people, and the managers are super friendly. Its in the middle of no where, no shops nearby, so make sure you take enough food to cook in their good catering facilities. Stayed there for 5 sunny days, was a fantastic lazy break for me

Great central location for field work in the area. Kitchen facilities top notch and even when busy plenty of space. Hot water and friendly staff perfect

Amazing location, brilliant kitchen and great showers. This is a really great hostel. Will be back.

The chap working here was warm and friendly (Jurgen?). He was very helpful and happy to chat, also recommended walking routes and places to visit. We were in room 10, cosy and clean, although very hot, we weren't able to turn down the radiator and resorted to opening the window. Super location for Tryfan. The communal spaces were clean, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay despite the weather!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My stay at YHA Idwal Cottage was truly exceptional! The property boasts an ideal location, and the team was fantastic throughout my visit. The booking process was a breeze, and all my queries were answered promptly. A special shout-out to Marc, who went above and beyond to ensure a smooth check-in and provided invaluable guidance for my hike. His advice on the terrain and the useful maps he shared were instrumental in making my adventure a success. As a solo hiker, the single-bed room was a perfect fit, and the well-equipped self-catering kitchen made meal preparation easy. The spotless washrooms were also a plus. Communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. Overall, I highly recommend YHA Idwal Cottage to anyone seeking a top-notch stay in the area.

Yha is really great, the hostel is cleaner than a hospital and self catering kitchen and lounge are better than home. Location is outstanding and you feel at home and safe people other than youth need to use these they make for a great cost effective familying time skoda

What more do you need from a YHA? Unbeatable location, well maintained kitchen, open eating spaces and a warm shower! We were camping and definitely recommend the camping shower - large outhouse. The dry room also saved us on multiple occasions. The yha porters were very friendly and informative - id say it was definitely worth paying the extra bit instead of wild camping.
