Totters is a wonderful little hostel in an amazing town.
The Location
Totters is in an unassuming building near the city walls in Caernarfon. It is not particularly well signposted apart from a small sign in the front window but it is not particularly difficult to find - being on the main street within the city walls. There are a wealth of pubs and shops in the immediate area and the castle is literally around the corner. It is only a 5 minute walk to the bus station which has buses throughout Snowdonia and also to Bangor rail station.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are kept immaculately clean and have a mix of bunk and normal beds. There are lockers and security appears not to be a problem. The showers are clean and reliable with plenty of hot water.
Common Spaces
There are several commons spaces in this multistorey building. There is a TV room on the ground floor. Downstairs there is an atmospheric dining room with long wooden table. Nearby is a breakfast bar with a wide range of jams to go with toast for breakfast. There is also a large kitchen room with fridge, washing machines and sitting space.
Due to its central location Totters appeals to a wide range of people with a mix of British and foreign tourists staying there. There are plenty of decent pubs nearby so hostellers tend to eat and drink away from the hostel.
Summary
Totters is a friendly hostel and well maintained. It is easy to find and in a location close to all the major parts of Caernarfon. It is definitely one place hostellers are happy to return to.
