YHA Brecon Beacons

Apr 9th, 2023

Excellent youth hostel in wonderful location, most people complaining don't seem to realise YHA is a charity not a business, and for the prices you are not going to get hotel amenities!! The staff provided a welcoming atmosphere and the young man at the desk was friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy and everything is kept clean. The lounge was cosy with a nice selection of board games and a fireplace. There is a good communal environment as with any youth hostel and the staff work hard to provide a good service. Highly recommended

The private rooms are extremely tiny, for the price of 55 I would have much rather preferred a hotel. If you are over 5 11 you will not lay flat in those tiny bunk beds. No Wi-Fi or phone signal to be had there also. There is a Kitchen there which is useful to make your own meals and the staff were friendly enough.

I had such a bad experience there ...let me explain you .. I arrived to the hostel at 12pm ..and the receptionist guy told that the check in is at 5 pm ...( 5 pm in January ..in the middle of nowhere is absolutely dark) how this is possible ?? Anyway ask very kindly to leave my backpack and the answer was no I can't because they are cleaning ..tragic ..so if in a whole hotel there was no space for a backpack ?? (That was the first lie ) and after that I had to wait the bus one hour to go back to the mountain and it was freezing ( -3) ..and I hike the mountain because of that kind of people with a bag 20kg in back ..... Anyway when it was the time to go there for check In I ask very kindly again the password of the WiFi ..and guess what ..the guy told me that they don't have WiFi at all....which as you can imagine was lying for one more time .. Then I ask him if he can do a hotspot for a minute from his phone and said I don't have data ... SO I was in the middle of nowhere ... Without internet ... without Signal..I couldn't contact with my family at all ... I could say another 100 things for them but anyway .. The water pressure it was super bad as well .. Can't understand other people why they gave to them more than one star .. unbelievable
