About Betws-y-Coed Youth Hostel
Tucked in the Gwydyr Forest just outside Betws-y-Coed, this youth hostel and campsite occupies a Victorian former coach house with mountain views and direct access to forest trails. Campers benefit from the main building's facilities – a restaurant serving locally sourced meals, a well-stocked games room, and a lively bar that becomes a social hub in the evenings. The site welcomes dogs and families, with a play area keeping younger visitors entertained between walks.
While the toilet blocks can feel a touch dated compared to newer glamping rivals, the location more than compensates: you're minutes from Swallow Falls and Zip World Fforest, with horse riding and tennis available nearby. The on-site food shop covers basics, saving trips into the village. It's an unpretentious, walker-friendly base that trades boutique polish for genuine mountain atmosphere and a warm community feel around the campfire.

Enjoyed staying at the garden tent as it allowed me to have my dog here. The garden is spacious and the tent had everything needed. The log burner kept it warm. Facilities in the main building were really good, and the restaurant was a nice place to hang out.

Very pleasant. Great location and team. Continental breakfast lacks imagination so worth paying a little more for the english if having breakfast. Some common areas will need a refresh quite soon.

Stunning views to be had from here. Rooms are basic but clean. Self-catering facilities are great and there's an option to buy food also.

Overall, we had a fantastic time here. Check-in is very late at 5pm so we found somewhere to store our case before arrival. On arrival, staff were incredibly friendly. All the staff were lovely and helpful. Foodwise, the menu was unsurprisingly minimal, but functional enough. For drinks, the menu had the wine prices, but not the price for anything else, which I found very odd. Breakfast was disappointing. It was less of a buffet and more just handed to you. Great from a food wastage point of view though, but it did feel expensive for the amount we got. The coffee machine was out of order. The self catering kitchen was a good size and well stocked but only one under counter fridge. We didn't really get to use it as we came on public transport and didn't have time to get to a shop once we'd checked in. The communal areas were great. Plenty of seating dotted around, none of it was in fantastic condition, but it was functional enough. No complaints about the room itself. The ensuite wasn't the best though. The seals around the shower are coming away and have black mould spores all over them. The shower is fixed and not ideal when you're over 6 foot. The toilet roll dispenser is right in your face when using the toilet. That wasn't fun. Externally the place needs some repairs as you can see many wooden frames literally crumbling. Despite the little things, we loved visiting, I'd definitely go again with the kids. As an adult though, the mattresses were the most comfortable. The kids found them comfy though.
