Basecamp Wales offers family-run hostel accommodation in Llanllyfni, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and 30.3 km from Pen-Y-Pass and 8.2 km to the beach at Dinas Dinlle. Free WiFi is offered in public areas and free private parking is available on site. The hotels do not normally get so many excellent scores without a reason. So, that's exactly the case when there are reasons. That's a perfect value for money. Very clean, quite spacious rooms. Nice location. Good wifi. Large parking area. Wonderful shared kitchen and big lounge area.
