The Rocks at Plas Curig Hostel

As the rain lashed into my face and I was buffeted by the wind on a freezing Welsh mountain, I was envisioning myself back in the comfortable and cosy lounge at The Rocks - wood burner roaring, warm, dry and cosy! The Rocks is the perfect place to return to after a day in the Welsh outdoors; we absolutely loved it. Super stylish hostel accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location for exploring North Wales and a characterful old building. Friendly and helpful staff.

Michael; who managed the hostel, was a big hit with our kids and went out his way to help us on several occasions. He made us feel exceptionally welcome. Lovely atmosphere in the hostel and clean. only note with kids is the bunk beds are pretty difficult to navigate so we ended having one on the bottom bunk and one in the double bed but was fine and worked out. we will be back for sure.

A really great find! Beautifully fitted out - it has a really cool but homely vibe. The staff were excellent and super friendly and helpful. The kitchen was large with plenty of space and lots of stuff. We had ample fridge and shelf space too. Our room (number 7) was cozy but plenty big enough for a family of 4. Toilet/shower facilities were good and very clean when we got there. Just remember it’s communal living! The highlight was the lounge, with its big couches, tv and log burner. There perfect place to relax after a long day on the hill!

This is an amazing place to stay! Wonderful welcome from Michael (host) who couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Exceptional customer service. Well equipped kitchen and warm cosy lounge with log fire and relaxing communal area. Comfy beds in well appointed dorms. Good bathroom facilities with plenty of hot water. Superb views of Snowdon and surrounding area. Parking a little tricky at times but host did his best to manage this and ensure there was space for all. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Well placed for exploring all Eryri has to offer. Some great walking and swimming locations!

Very comfortable stay. Comfortable beds. What a gem this place is. The manager Michael made sure our stay was great and we were well looked after. Kitchen facilities are excellent. Cozzy front room with a real fire. Nice library with lots of information and games room to sit and talk. Even has a nice selection of wines, beers and spirits. Can't fault this place or the management and his team at all. We have booked the place out for our next visit.

Fabulous experience as always. Facilities were immaculate, beds were comfy, fire was cosy and Michael the new manager couldn’t have been more helpful with our group of mad outdoor swimming ladies! Will definitely be back soon as we love it here!
