Located in Caernarfon and within 13 km of Snowdon Mountain Railway, Ty Glyndwr Bunkhouse, Bar and cafe features a bar, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. Built in 19th century, this 4-star hostel is within 19 km of Snowdon and 36 km of Portmeirion. Guests can enjoy city views. The property was lovely and perfectly located near the sea and Caernarfon's high street. I stayed in a hostel-style room -- the beds were comfy and each guest had plenty of space. The best part of the stay was certainly being welcomed by Su, who is fantastic. She made me a nice tea when I came back tired from a long and windy hike.

The property is non-smoking and is located 25 km from Snowdon Mountain Railway. Great location in the heart of Snowdonia.
