Perfect location for an early start on Snowdon Massif. Friendly staff lovely and comfortable surroundings with everything someone on the mountains needs
One suggestion would be a kettle in reception area so those leaving early can make a flask of tea before heading off. Otherwise spot on!

Loved how accessible the location was for someone who was navigating the way using public transport, the bus stop from Bangor station drops you off a few steps away from the hostel, and the hostel is situated near the beginning of the pyg track, as well as the miners track. There were tons of facilities within the hostel as well, including a laundry/drying room, kitchen, common eating space, and also lockers, but you have to bring your own lockpad.
Not much food options nearby, you can only bring your own food or opt for dinner at YHA in the area.
