Accommodation at YHA Conwy
Bed in a shared room
Dorms are not currently available.
Dorm rooms have multiple beds and are shared with other people who may not be travelling together. They are usually more affordable than private rooms as you'll be booking a bed rather than the whole room.
A typical shared dorm room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest.
Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. Some of our shared dorm rooms are en-suites, meaning that they have a bathroom that you would share with other guests who are also staying in the room.
Private rooms
Want some privacy? With a private room, you'll be booking the whole room for your stay.
Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus a wash hand basin.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room.
Private en-suite rooms
For added privacy, relax with your family, friends or by yourself in a private en-suite room.

Meet the team
Manager recommends: Conwy town walls – walking along the walls towards the harbour, gives you an amazing perspective of the walled town. Even better – it's free! Or enjoy the amazing flavours of Parisella’s award winning ice cream, made right here in Conwy. Visit the kiosk at Conwy Quay and plump for signature sensations such as Amaretto & Black Cherry or Blue Banana. Take your pick of the five fantastic fish & chip shops. The Albion Ale House on Uppergate Street is an absolute gem. Recalling a simpler time, the traditional 1920s public house offers no music, no television and no meals – just fantastic beer and bar snacks in a unique setting.
