We have just returned from staying over the weekend at the Vagabond Hostel Betws Y Coed. It was a last minute decision to go and walk Snowdon the weekend of the 14th / 15th April and so I thought it would be best to stay overnight somewhere close. I have driven through Betws Y Coed many times and thought how... More

this was my first time in Wales and staying in a hostel/bunkhouse....I must admit I wasnt expecting much from the accomodation, needless to say I was very surprised. The place was very clean, beds were comfy, staff were very helpful and efficient and full of local information. The facililities were great and the breakfast and dinners were great value for... More

We’ve just come back from our second stay at the Vagabond and loved it as much as the first. Relaxed, comfortable, clean and great value..Highly recommended, it’s everything you want in a hostel without the usual strict regimes some have.” Hot showers and warm rooms too!”. Saturday night was great, drinks in the bar, homemade chicken curry which was very... More

Stayed with a group of friends for a walking weekend. The hostel has all the facilities you need and some nice extras like free tea and coffee and a bar area.

Just back from an awesome weekend, stayed at the Vagabond as a base for walking and mountain biking, perfect trails on the doorstep and not too far from Coed y Brenin either. Really relaxed and friendly with a great bunch of like minded people. We had the curry on the Saturday night with promises that it would be pretty special,... More
