The Vagabond

Comfortable, beautiful. Surrounded by spectacular landscapes.
Betws-y-Coed is situated near the natural area of Yr Widdfa (Snowdon), so this hostel is ideally located for all those who want to climb, walk, or just know some of the most beautiful natural areas in Britain. Facilities such as supermarkets, the tourist office, restaurants, gift shops can be found within a walking distance. There is a bus stop in front of the hostel (buses to the main towns in Wales and to the heart of Snowdonia), as well as a train station. The atmosphere is quiet in the hostel, which is small but tidy, clean, and comfortable. Several maps of the surrounding area are showed on the wall, but it is worth asking the staff if you need information, as they are friendly and offer a warm welcome to the visitors. The bedrooms are spacious and there are not many bathrooms but they are fine. In general, this hostel makes a very good impression.
