Llangollen Hostel Self-catering

Llangollen

Llangollen Hostel Self-catering is a 4-star, Victorian town house in the centre of Llangollen. It has free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen where guests can prepare their own food, a dining room plus a lounge with log burner, games and books. There are twins, doubles, family rooms, 4-bed quads and a 6-bed room, many of which are en-suite. Llangollen Hostel = standout quality. Delivers well beyond what they charge for their rooms. Which work well for families or individuals. The workers I dealt with, or saw dealing with other lodgers, were attentive and responsive. There's an excellent energy to the crew. At least one member speaks Welsh too! Which was fun for me, a Welsh-language learner. The establishment itself's conveniently located in a lovely town. Bed was good, room was quiet; I slept well. Definitely get a top-floor room if you can: the view!

Free WiFi is available throughout the property. The Lodge offers a lounge and a fully equipped kitchen with dining area. The lodge was delightful, cosy and a home from home. Tastefully decorated with lots of unique and quirky features. We had absolutely everything we could possibly need , including linen, towels, coffee machine, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher. The garden was so lovely. Location was perfect and near to pubs, restaurants and the sea front. Plenty of space for a family of six and a dog without being on top of each other. The host was excellent and checked we were OK right from booking to when we stayed. The complimentary gifts and treats on arrival were a lovely touch. We look forward to retuning later in the year.
