One or two of the building's fixtures and fittings are showing signs of wear and tear, but nothing that detracted from our stay.

Plas y Brenin proved the perfect place to stay for my daughter's and my climbing and hiking visit to Snowdonia. Everyone is involved in or oriented towards outdoor activities, the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, the rooms are well appointed and the breakfast and dinner are excellent - nutritious, tasty and really well cooked food, perfect for starting active days in the hills. We liked the unpretentious, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere it has.

Bathroom had a slight smell. It looked clean so might be the plumbing?

Great value. Own room and bathroom, and lovely views from my window. Shower was powerful and room had everything you needed. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. I came down to breakfast early and could help myself to cereals etc with no problem

You could hear every movement made by the occupants of rooms above you - it is an older property however.

The location was stunning.

Nit picking (as fantastic value!) but would have liked 2 pillows on bed and a kettle in the room.

Location, price, staff, evening meal was fantastic value for money!

The one big disappointment was that although there were 3 handpumps in the bar, there was no real ale available. Apparently, this was because the manager who normally orders it was off! That's very poor.

Very nice location, facilities were good.

Maybe the room was a bit "institutional", but I slept really well.

Evening meal available. Hostel type breakfast as expected. Got a packed lunch (All convenient, with no extra walking needed). Staff very friendly and helpful. As a solo walker, it felt like the right place to stay. Had the best drying room I have used for a long time. The centre has a lot of history.

Twice I got caught out - I was looking forward, all day, to a hot meal in the bar , and left it late. At 8pm or slightly before was told it was all finished. Was forced to go into Betwys Y Coed twice to try my luck there - and what a dispiriting experience that was - food finished at 8pm and parking charges still applying. It was sh **. I suppose I should have attempted to eat earlier - my own fault really. But, I wonder - has everything changed recently ? (Hot food finishing at 8pm) - I didn't used to get caught out like this. It was a real pisser. Another thing - I did find people at the centre (not staff) rather distant and reserved - so I didn't connect with anyone at all, apart from the staff - who were nice. As a single guy it can be a real downer when other people seem to be keeping themselves to themselves . Well, everyone's entitled to be reserved if they want to be - but what has happened ? I'm sure Britain didn't used to be like this. What are people afraid of ? The price - was reasonable, compared with what's around - but I think accommodation in the UK is over-priced.

I was there for 2 nights in mid-April. The location is fantastic, right next to one of my favourite views of Snowdonia. The nature of the place - a hostel-like outdoors centre - gives it great potential as a place to meet and connect with outdoors-loving, adventurous people. Staff were friendly. place was clean and I liked the dining room and bar room facilities. I got a decent breakfast , and in addition there was provision for your day out in the wilds, with sandwiches to take and water bottle filling and hot water for your flask. I would definitely stay there again. It's great assets are : the fantastic location, and it being a place to meet like-minded outdoors loving and nature-loving people.

The rooms were like student accommodation. Quite dated.

Only 10 miles from Snowdon. Great location for cycling and also a Great safe Lake which isn’t deep next to it for some wild swimming. A nice bar and as a solo traveller was easy to make friends. The bed was comfy and shower nice and hot.
