Basecamp Wales offers family-run hostel accommodation in Llanllyfni, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and 30.3 km from Pen-Y-Pass and 8.2 km to the beach at Dinas Dinlle. Free WiFi is offered in public areas and free private parking is available on site. It was an incredibly beautiful place, and what made it even more special was the warm welcome I received upon arrival and the kind farewell when I left. I truly wished I could have stayed at the hotel for an entire month. I will definitely be visiting again in the coming days, and I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay—it really is exceptional. I’m already planning to return and stay for a longer period next time. My little ones absolutely loved the animals nearby, especially the chickens. They truly enjoyed the place.

Just a few steps away is the bus stop that takes you to the park entrance to start climbing and exploring the mountain. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless, and the shower is amazing, steaming hot with good water pressure. You enjoy taking a shower like at home. They also provide shampoo and shower gel, which is amazing in case we forget. The beds are very comfortable, and they include a towel, which is a plus I loved.

What an absolute gem of a place to stay! The owners were very welcoming, the hostel is spotlessly clean, and such a quirky set up being an old school. Loved that! Highly recommend a stay! I arrived at night but waking up early and seeing the views from the hostel was lovely, its in a beautiful spot! Please take the time to wander along the road to the old slate quarry, well worth a visit!

A buffet breakfast is available in the morning, and there is free private parking on site. Everything else was perfect. Staff, facilities value for money and a decent breakfast too.
