After staying in many hostels, this was by far the worst!! Im sure you could find a B&B for a similar price. Loud noise from all the people who think they are in a nightclub, children could not sleep. The lady who owns the hostel does not greet her customers well and a lot of people from the area say she is known for being 'loopy'. There are loads of house rules and she does not change the sheets!! I will go back to Bala but not stay here it isn't even worth the money!! (Date of experience: May, 2010 )
