Set in Llanberis, 7 km from Snowdon Mountain Railway, Lodge Dinorwig offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. Built in 19th century, this 4-star hostel is within 40 km of Portmeirion and 44 km of Llandudno Pier. The property is non-smoking and is situated 13 km from Snowdon. What an absolute gem of a place to stay! The owners were very welcoming, the hostel is spotlessly clean, and such a quirky set up being an old school. Loved that! Highly recommend a stay! I arrived at night but waking up early and seeing the views from the hostel was lovely, its in a beautiful spot! Please take the time to wander along the road to the old slate quarry, well worth a visit!

Located in Caernarfon and within 13 km of Snowdon Mountain Railway, Totters Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 19 km from Snowdon, 36 km from Portmeirion and 47 km from Llandudno Pier. The hostel has family rooms. Amazing location just inside the city walls near the castle with views of the wall, harbour, and stunning sunsets. Very atmospheric. Excellent communication with the owners. We had a lot of room for three adults, with a comfortable seating area, great ventilation from triple aspect windows, very modern bathroom. The breakfast was very generous and, if you wished there was a kitchen for guests with anything you would need. We were travelling by bus and the bus stop was only a short walk from the hostel. Pubs and restaurants nearby. Short bus ride to the Snowden Mountain Railway station.
