The staff is extremely friendly and very willing to make enquiries/bookings for you. The rooms are small, but clean. Food is good, and there's a nice common area to relax in. Perfect for a rainy Welsh day. If you're into hiking, there are a bunch of tracks that start right from the hostel. If you have a car, that's no issue as there is a lot right on site. Definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed at.

Otherwise there's Borth's few shops and services down the street. Right by the main front, the sea wall is just across the road. One can hear the sea gently all night if the window is open... I'll swap that for the usual snores of other dorm occupants any day! Showers work WELL and are a pleasure, the same with the toilets. The beds aren't bad, washbasins in the dorms, energy efficient motion-activated lights in some areas, very high-tech (and sensible). Friendly staff - the warden is the salt of the earth, quite sound and offered me a free bar of soap from his personal supply even though I ended up finding mine in the end. Maybe I stank and it was imperative to wash, but cycling in the incredible late April sun up a mountain can do that - cyclists are catered to fairly well, with secure bike storage. There's a TV lounge and a games room as well as a dining room - most of these are at the front, facing the sea. The vibe is relaxed, especially as I was really sleep-deprived and only vacated the place at 10am on the dot (10am check-out time). If it had good, cheap or complimentary internet, it would get pretty much full marks (too many businesses rely on their websites these days though, shame on them). This place can instead rely on its staff and vibe, nice one!

Not the easiest place to judge as I always come here when…read morethe beer festival is on so in addition to the beer on the main bar there is the extremely chilly tent out back offering several barrels. You might even have to help yourself! Even outside festival time they do offer a few beers on the main bar of course. The food is decent. They show sport. The fruit machine flashes like it is having a fit! Cheap accomodation. I have never seen it in daylight.

It is a favourite amongst tourists and has a well kept garden area. It has open fires there in the winter too. There is a large menu for the discenrning palette offering a choice of meals and bar snacks also. The is a pool table and quiz machine present too for entertainment.

There is also a kitchen, lounge/diner, bathroom, washing machine, tv and video present as well. In total there is private & shared accommodation in 9 rooms (28 beds).
