    I would recommend this accomodation to anyone travelling to the area on a tight budget.

    Perhaps the bathroom was a little far from the rooms on the top floor. In the middle of the night I was conscious of disturbing other residents with opening and closing landing doors and creaking stairs and floorboards. Not a huge problem but it was on my mind .

    Location was very close to the main commercial area. The warden was very helpful and friendly. Although I didn't actually meet her she responded promptly to any queries by messaging or phone call. The room was practical, clean and quiet. Everything I hoped for from this booking. All this for exceptional value! I would definitely choose to stay here if I were to visit the area again in the future.

    Great location, not far from Betws-y-coed and the rest of Eyri, beds were clean and quite comfortable compared to some other hostel beds I’ve slept on. Staff were friendly and helpful, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a place that is better value for money, I’d definitely stay again.

    Facilities were a bit dated, but ok for the price.

    It was very quiet when I went (May). Friendly staff, comfortable room and bed, clean facilities, great location in a beautiful village, close to the amenities.

    The head height space on the lower deck of the bunk bed is a little low. Other than that, it's a fantastic place.

    The place is clean and very near to some attractions, Swallow Falls, Ponty Pair, Railway Museum.

    The fire doors slam when other residents use the loo in the night so take some ear plugs.

    Helen, the host, was so welcoming. Showed me around and was glad I’d had a nice stay. The showers and toilets were really clean. The bedroom was all I needed for a good nights sleep.

    Very nice position close to the S1 stop and good self-catering facilities including a nice kitchen. The bed is comfy and i had the room of my own in the first day. Michelle and Helen are lovely people. Will choose here again if I come again. PS. it seems that it is cheaper if you book via their own website.

    The room was a little warm and we had the upstairs fire exit in our room so that it meant that we could not secure the room. Other rooms were much better and more roomy so in future I would be more specific about our requirement. The single rooms were really sweet.

    Michelle, the Warden, was super helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to help and support us. she was thoughtful and gave us some top tips for the area.

    The door for the female dormitory was quite noisy and it's impossible not to wake people up using it. Not much space between upper and lower bunk beds, can barely sit. It'd be nice to have lights by each bunk beds :)

    Clean facilities, well equipped kitchen. Staff is friendly and hands on when calling for help. There's a big lounge where you can eat and relax. And it's very close to the high Street of the village!

    I had an exceptional experience staying at the Woodlands Centre. I have been biking on the hills, and I took a night stop here. I couldn't have asked for better. Michelle, the warden, welcomed me warmly, upgraded my room, made sure I was well settled and gave me a warm welcome, giving me great food suggestions. I had a peaceful night's sleep and biked the next morning. It was a great experience, and I strongly recommend the place for groups and solo travellers like me. Looking forward to the next visit.
