YHA Porthmadog hotels

"Beautiful Chateau and amazing grounds. The included breakfast is great."

"Third time staying here. Perfect for visiting the University and the beautiful area. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff are all friendly and helpful. Great breakfast, with Menai Strait views"

"This is an interesting place! The room was clean and comfortable, you just need to bring your own toiletries. The property has a lot of space to lounge and hang out, including nice outdoor tables to enjoy the sunset, and even has an indoor shuffleboard table. The staff was very nice and will make you eggs for breakfast. The property was great for hiking in Snowdonia. The property has a bit of a long driveway so it's not very walkable to restaurants/food stores but it's a very short drive to get food. "

"The swimming pool is large and spacious. All the staff are friendly and helpful and the food was good for breakfast and for dinner in the bar."

"This is a great hotel to stay at. The locality is top notch. Only comment would be the bar staff on the night we stayed. They seemed to be particularly rude"

"My stay at The Oakeley Arms Hotel in Blaenau Ffestiniog was truly the highlight of my time in Wales. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome—friendly, attentive, and even greeting me by name (perhaps I stood out as a solo female traveler!). Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel restaurant was an unexpected delight. Coming from the U.S., I was blown away by the quality, flavor, and generous portions of every meal. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious—so much so that I felt guilty not finishing it all! Be sure to leave room for dessert; each one is divine and worth the indulgence. My room had a comfortable single bed that was perfect for me. The space was surprisingly large and the bathroom was lovely—clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully appointed. Thank you, Oakeley Arms, for such a wonderful experience. You made this solo traveler feel right at home. I can genuinely say this was my best stay in Wales!"

"The staff were friendly and very helpful and not in a fake way they genuinely seemed to like helping "

"Friendly staff, good pub food, comfy bed, spacious room. Ideal as a base because of the location and free parking."

"Stayed in one of the lodge rooms after doing the Welsh Three peaks. Being able to park right outside the room was a really helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the half price access to health spa was a real bonus. Will be staying again"
