Quite remote. Staff gave us free left over curry which was very nice. Beverage options are vast. About a 30 minute drive from pen y fan. Only had WiFi in the main rooms though. No signal or WiFi in the room we were in. We only stayed for one night so it didn’t matter for us. cheap and cheerful.

Great stay in beautiful surroundings

This was such a find! Stayed one night with friends in a private room while we hiked in the Brecon Beacons and it was perfect for what we needed. Perks included - plenty of drying rooms (it rained the whole time we were there so this was very much needed!), restaurant and bar, cosy lounge with fire and board games, and a sink in the room. Easy to find, plenty of parking, and great location. If I'm in the area again I will definitely come back.

It's a while since I stayed in a YHA hostel so perhaps had unrealistic expectations. At the right price would be fine but very overpriced for this hostel, which is looking a bit tired.

Great but please YHA allow an earlier check-in

We stayed on a cold Sat & Sun night in December. Very warm and comfortable place. Typical hostel. Can't speak for the meals as we self catered and used the pub in Lebanus (very friendly and good food). Only gripe at the hostel is the 5pm check-in. This is too late in winter. It's dark and icy.

Excellent customer service, I received a call around 8pm to check I was on my way and not lost, a nice touch. On arrival a lovely and welcoming greeting, very informative on the hostel facilities and area. I was taking part in an event on the Friday morning and had left the lid for my water bladder at home, the man who was on reception was very helpful in helping to try and find me a work around, above and beyond what he needed to do. Very friendly hostel

Location is excellent and beautiful surroundings. The only downfall: There was really noisy, rude and selfish people staying at the property that was laughing and talking so loudly until 1 am in the morning when I had to go and say something. I also would have liked a proper English breakfast.

Nice, cozy, really great location and parking free

It was lovely, the staff was great and services as much as we can imagine for this price and in the middle of great national park. Really nice views and "sheep alarm" in the morning. But also we have a really huge spider in our bathroom saying "hello" below the pipe, so a little scary. It was great ;)

Comfortable, friendly and well located YHA.

This is a great YHA in a great location. Comfortable surroundings, clean facilities (the only exception was the showers, they were a bit dated and muddy), friendly staff and a great location for walking. I visited with friends and we had a very good weekend in sociable surroundings, I'd thoughroughly reccomend this YHA if you're looking for such accomodation in the area.
