Lodge Dinorwig

Llanberis

The bedroom offers 14 bunk-style beds with individual lighting and curtains for privacy. Rooms include storage space, and a shared bathroom with a shower.

A cooked breakfast is served each morning. Packed lunches and evening meals can also be provided if ordered in advance. Lodge Dinorwig offers lockers, bed linen is included. Incredibly comfortable sleeping pods with privacy curtain, wider than normal mattresses, two pillows, and charging outlets. Staff was super friendly and helpful to provide suggestions on how to get to town or where to hike for the day. Breakfast and dinner(for a reasonable 10£) were delicious, just the right serving sizes for fueling a day outdoors. Common area is great to chill in after a long day and play board games with fellow guests. This is one of those places that you want to tell everyone how amazing it is, but at the same time don’t want to in order to make sure it’s not booked out when you want to go back, and you will want to go back again. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect hostel.
