How to Find a Good Hostel in Wales
Introduction
Finding a hostel in Wales is easy. As a popular tourist destination there are literally hundreds, either owned privately or under the umbrella of the England and Wales YHA. The following steps will help you to find the best of them.
Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Steps
1
Step One
Decide where in Wales you want to go. Do you want to stay in one hostel or many hostels?
2
Step Two
Define your criteria for a hostel. Location, price and good staff are of course important, but some hostels, particularly Backpackers which you generally find in cities, can be very sociable and full of young world travellers.
3
Step Three
Buy or borrow a guidebook of Wales and see which ones will best cater to your needs.
4
Step Four
See which hostels are recommended by the guidebook. Guidebooks will rarely tell you if a hostel is awful, but they will recommend the good ones.
5
Step Five
Go online and have a look at a list of Welsh hostels. See Resources below for reviews and ratings of hostels both good and bad.
6
Step Six
Play it safe and book a room with the YHA (see Resources below) Private hostels can be an acquired taste and you don't always know what to expect. As a national organisation, YHA try to appeal to everyone and their hostels are in the best locations.
Tips & Warnings
- Welsh hostels do not ask for a booking fee.
