Nothing.

It was well decorated, clean and comfortable.

Lack of cooking facilities was a shame, even a bigger fridge would have been helpful. But I knew that signing up and the meals provided were great

One of the coolest hostels I’ve ever been to. Great value for money, wonderfully decorated and comfortable. Full of games, sofas and things to do even if the weather was bad, I had a great time

Everything was perfect

I stayed at Lodge Dinorwig for two nights. The location is very close to all the central hiking routes, especially the famous trail to Snowdon. The hostel is incredibly cosy and the views from the terrace are breathtaking. Great hosts, super friendly environment, and delicious breakfasts. I'm definitely coming again and have already recommended this place to my friends!

Yet again an amazing stay!! And the countdown is on until I return again. The evening meal was lovely, the free breakfast included perfection 🤤 not forgetting Sonni's amazing coffee barista skills. The bed was super comfortable, with a reading lamp and plug within the bunk space. Keep up the amazing work 💪

absolutely nothing!

The location was superb, the best views. The hosts were so wonderful and so helpful and the food was amazing. A true jewel in the crown of Snowdonia. Nothing was too much trouble for Sonni and it was obvious that she cared about the guests and the venue.

Everything was just perfect!

These people are the best, super friendly and helpfull all the time. The have a really good menu so everyone will have something they like, doesn't matter if it's for breakfast or diner. Event the lunch package was really good and plenty for me at least! They have plenty of advise to give on the region since they are also hikers. The bunkbeds have a seperate light and one plug to charge your stuff. I had good nights there

Everything was wonderful.

We loved everything about the property.

The bed was a tiny bit too short, me legs were sticking out at 183cm

The hostel itself is beautiful, very nicely decorated, with loads of information scattered all over the main room. The bunk bed area is nice and tidy. Toilets are clean and decent. There is a terrace with a beautiful view and plenty of parking. A really good base for any trips in Snowdonia. Sonni was very helpful and replied to my queries instantly.

I couldnt fault this place!

The whole place was spotless and clean. Bed was very comfortable and the curtain for privacy was the icing on the cake. It made going to sleep so much more relaxing and safe! Staff was very accommodating, I had to leave before breakfast so they left me some breakfast to take away with me which was perfect! Lockers are provided for your personal belongings which you want to keep safe! The hostel was lovely and warm. Living room and kitchen was inviting and had everything you could possibly need! Every type of drink was provided which I thought was a very nice touch, I can't drink tea or coffee in the evening so to find alternatives was a total bonus! I highly recommend this place to anyone that visits the area! As a hiker it is perfectly located very close to many of the mountains. I definitely will be staying here again! Best hostel I have stayed in so far! Thank you for making my stay so comfortable!

Nothing!

Sonni and Simon are the most amazing, gracious hosts. They answered every question we had about nearby hikes and the home cooked breakfast every morning was so delicious!! Coming home after a hike to a delicious home cooked meal was the best feeling. One night when the weather was nice Simon even went out of his way to bring our dinner down to where we were sitting watching the sunset so we could enjoy an outdoor feast 😄 The hostel has such a homely feeling where you get to know everyone. I would recommend it to every person wanting to explore Snowdonia!

It turned out I had paid a lot more than other guests so would book direct in future rather than going through booking.com

Great facilities, everything was very clean. Sonni was so attentive, the food was amazing! The attention to detail especially catering for allergies etc was fantastic.

One tiny thing - a light above Bunk 5 which flashed in the morning and kept me awake.

A peaceful and warm atmosphere. The Hostel is clean, cozy and comfortable with lots of nice little touches.

Top bunk was a little awkward to get in and out of, but that’s to be expected.

Excellent value for money and perfect location if you’re looking to explore the nearby Dinorwic Quarry. This was my first time at a hostel/shared dorm and I was pleasantly surprised. The host Sonni was very welcoming and helpful

Absolutely nothing. It was perfecto! 10\10.

Everything! Lodge Dinorwig was the gift which kept on giving! Didn't feel like a hostel in the slightest. Superb value for money! Fresh coffee house style coffee, tea, and a full English breakfast to suit different preferences (meat/veg/vegan), using good quality ingredients with fresh juice and choice of cereals all included in the price! Was the perfect start to my mountaineering day! Evening meals and no plastic lunches available (extra). Stylishly decorated with several displays which piqued my creative brain. Several useful signs around, with a weather report for the next day (so helpful). Amazing artwork displayed and for sale. Beds had their own privacy curtain which I loved! Bathroom was spotless and clean. Lots of comfy seating, games, books and plant life. Super clean & warm & modern. Sonni & Simon were the perfect hosts - so friendly, warm & inviting! The views from the windows in the communal area were just spectacular I was in awe, due to the height and positioning of the Lodge, you can look directly at Mount Snowdon and it's siblings! Due to the change in weather, I climbed Elidir Fawr (recommended by Sonni). It was an incredible climb with breathtaking panoramic views of Anglesey and being able to look right at Mount Snowdon et. al. I did it in 3.5 hours (getting up & down). I couldn't love this place any more if I tried. Kudos to Simon & Sonni, they really do set the bar high for hostel hosts, and I'm willing to bet Lodge Dunnerwig is thee best in the area. Incredible service both! I'll be back! I wanted to move in! Ha! So cozy. Thank you both SO MUCH. I will treasure your warm welcome, care & attention forever. It really did put the icing on my first experience in the area! First impressions all round were second to none. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your service is special in more ways than one.

I don't think that I can immediately think of anything that I would recommend for serious change or improvement.

A group for friends travelling to North Wales for the adventure sports and relaxation. A beautiful dormitory, which was spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming. A large communal area for relaxation and chatting. I would well recommend this site and although didn't want to stay initially on the north side of Padarn it did not dismiss a lovely experience. An excellent setup,
