YHA Snowdon Ranger - Hostel

I'm a school teacher working in Zürich Switzerland who came here with two classes in June 2025. I'll post here what some of our students had to say. As you can see, the main takehome is that whilst the building needs a little money spending on it, the team who work there offer the most extraordinary service. Cassian, 14 During my school's recent stay in Wales, YHA Snowdon Ranger was our residence, The walls were broken, the air was stale, But Warren was the light - here is the evidence Whilst it was raining, Warren was so very cheerful, The hostel straining, Yet the stay was purely blissful. Finn, 14 Warren (and tony of course) are possibly the nicest people in Wales. Felt very welcomed and the food was exquisite. Although the rooms could need some new windows and possibly new beds, which arent made out of metal. In the first floor bathroom it could use a door so people in the hallway cant look in. Otherwise top hostel. Alma, 14 Warren was a Great guy. He made is feel welcome from the second we stept into the Hostel. There was a beautiful lake 1min away from the Hostel. Overall the Hostel was nice but the Windows wouldnt properly Open so the air was a Bit stuffy. Christian, 14 I had the pleasure of staying at a hostel next to a beautiful lake, and one of the highlights of my experience was meeting Warren. From the moment I arrived he was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. His friendly and easygoing personality created such a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether it was sharing stories, offering local tips, or simply being a kind presence, Warren truly added something special to my stay. You also can’t forget Kyran. While he was helping in the back most of the times whenever saw him he was very chatty in a good way. A Little touch up on the hostel wouldn’t harm though. Anyways, thanks Warren and Kyran for being such a great part of the experience! Lucia, 14 Dear youth hostel Association The place we stayed at was in an amazing place, beside the lake and the mountains. Sadly the windows could use some renovation seeing as I almost suffocated in my room with 5 other people. The people working there and especially Warren where very kind and friendly.

I really enjoyed the week, even if their was bad wifi and the house could need some renovation, but thanks to Warren we felt welcome. He was our hero. He was always polite with us and did anything. The location is great too. Timo - 14 Dear YHA during my stay Warren was extremely friendly to me and was always
