Ty Glyndwr Bunkhouse, Bar and Cafe

This is such a unique place. If I'm in Caernarfon again I'll be going back to the Welsh/Thai fusion bar in the basement even if staying somewhere else. Owner is a friendly and memorable woman who makes great cocktails and food. The combo of Welsh and Southeast Asian aesthetics throughout the place was unexpected and cool. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, location was good.

We were a party of six and block-booked an 8-bed dorm for three nights. From the very first email enquiring about our stay, we couldn’t have been looked after any better. Su, the owner, ensured everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The breakfast selection was generous and covered all bases. Downstairs, the cellar cocktail bar and Thai restaurant looked lively and fun, and is definitely a spot worth checking out in its own right. Overall, it’s a great place to stay in the heart of vibrant, historic Caernarfon. It's also an ideal base for exploring the region: only 20 minutes by bus to the foot of the Snowdon trail and just a five-minute walk from the Welsh Highland Railway terminus.

This review is about our Thai meal. What a find...the words cocktails and coffee led us in. However we decided against the coffee but opted for a fantastic pad thai, red curry and home made duck spring rolls. We were in heaven. Thank you for lovely service and a wonderful welcome.

Fantastic, warm and friendly. A clean and safe place to stay. I had a comfortable, quiet night's sleep. Beautiful historic surroundings. The live music was well worth the experience. The Thai food is delicious. There is so much I can say. Why don't you visit here and see for yourself?

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was in close proximity to many restaurants and the Caerfarnon Castle.

The heart and soul of Ty Glyndwr is Su who works incredibly hard to create a truly special place to stay and enjoy. Here, you are not merely a guest but a family member, warmly welcomed, cared for, and respected. The environment is chic, location is excellent, very central, within a short walking distance to the castle, shops, coast and makes a perfect base to get to all places of interest in north Wales. The bunk rooms and wooden beds are clean and comfortable, as are the showers and toilets. The cafe is cosy with artwork and guitars decorating the walls. Su is passionate about food and drinks, offering customers a range of healthy delicious options. A lively bar and seating in the basement draws many people to live music on weekends. Su has created a unique and dynamic cultural hub in an interesting historic town, attracting soulful people. Highly recommended. Go and discover a real gem!
