Lovely welcoming staff, and nice clean hostel with a cosy lounge. I had a nice warm en suite and loved it. 
Whilst fabulously out of the way and quiet, it’s easy to get to with regular cheap Trawcymru buses right to the hostel from Cardiff, Newtown or Hereford. 
Great place to star gaze as when it’s dark it’s really dark!!
Lots of opportunities for walking too. 
Am returning soon!

Lovely remote yet easily accessible

The private room was tiny and totally overpriced. There was no window, only a skylight that I couldn't open as it rained at night. 
The bunk bed legs were cut off so it would fit in the low ceiling, so being on the bottom bunk was like sleeping on the floor.  There wasn't really room for two people with two sets of baggage, I was very thankful to be solo. 
I paid £85/night for this, because it was surge weekend rate. This is not value for money. 

There is no WIFI and no phone reception so you can not organise anything during the evenings. Buses are infrequent - every two hours on sundays. This is not a good place if you are without a car. The bathrooms and toilets were clean, as was the shared kitchen. The continental breakfast was nice. 

The nature and hills in the area is beautiful. Very nice location if you have a car as you can nip up to Pen y Fan, then drive to another walk or town afterwards. But if on foot, options are very limited. 

If you go, make sure you download and take maps before arriving. The YHA usually have paper printouts of local hikes, but not here. The staff didn't have much local knowledge or advice to offer, so do your research. 


Overpriced, not great without a car

We enjoyed our stay very much. We stayed in a land pod with our dog and also had a room in the hostel (family of 5). All facilities were clean and comfortable and we made use of the excellent kitchen/self catering facilities. Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and we enjoyed exploring the local area. 

Great location, great hostel

Extremely clean. Probably the cleanest YHA I have stayed in. Very welcoming place. Would stay again soon. The location and lack of WiFi or phone signal is ideal. To disconnect from the business of life. Great place. 

Great location 

My friends and I had such a great stay at the YHA Brecon Beacons. Arrived on Friday and stayed for a couple of nights. If you're looking for an easy and trouble-free stay this is the place to go. The hosts were very accommodating -- a 10/10 on the hospitality. We even got a little tour around the village in Brecon, and thanks so much again for making us feel welcome and for a rejuvenating stay! 

A weekend in Brecon B!

Bare with me till I get to the end…………..we turned up on a Friday at 5pm to be told there was no gas in the tank and therefore no heating….and it was cold!!So off we went to get some kindling and got the fire going.Behind the scenes Juan, and his staff were working their socks of to try and sort the issues out.Juan was run off his feet as he was also looking after another YHA nearby.Soon had a roaring fire going, electric heaters in our room and settled down for the weekend.Gas arrived the next morning and after a long walk we returned to a nice cosey hostel.I take my hat off to all the staff that mucked In .And, what a fab place to stay,in the middle of nowhere with views over the fields.Breakfast was lovely and easy parking.What more could you want?Please support the YHA and stay here if in the area.

Amazing staff….fabulous Hostel

I'd like to thank John personally , He's just taken over the managerial role here couple of weeks ago.  Nothing was to much trouble, he was very accommodating with all his guests during our mini break . The hostel is located in the middle of nowhere, and Its  surrounded by spectacular views.
The phone signal and WiFi isn't easily available , John helped me find post codes ect on computer for different locations, so it wasnt that big of an issue. The top carpark has phone signal if needed . 
Our Bedroom was very small for 2 people sharing 3 nights stay,  6ft 5ft room that had  small bunk bed  and a sink , I know  the building is an old farm house conversion,  but my friend has alot of health issues, It wouldnt be a bad stay as single room for 1 , but for 2 people a wee bit cramped. 
Thankyou John made our 3 nights stay very comfortable , as he did move us to a different location in the hostel . 
You wont be disappointed with the location , building,  staff , The Kitchen was extremely fully equipped, with everything you'd expect at a beautiful Hostel. 
We Most certainly will be returning to visit again soon this year . Thanks again John and all other staff members , your all doing an excellent , amazing job, 
Oh not forgetting the log burner lit in the evening just perfect comfatable and relaxing x Cheers x

Amazing spectacular views , just stunning

Stayed here for my birthday get away and was very happy with this Hostel!! It was a great location for Pen-y-Fan and only a 10 minute drive into the town of Brecon! Took about 45 mins to drive down to Cardiff so the location is perfect!! My only not really a criticism but something to note for others is that not only does this hostel not have WiFi but there is also next to no mobile phone signal so be aware of that if you need access to your phone!! 

Checkers and Chess

The hostel was lovely, clean and friendly and I felt so safe. Also perfect location to climb Pen-Y-Fan. We had a 2 bed bunk bed room very small but perfect for what we needed. The room was clean. The duvet was lovely and the wash rooms were spot less. Would recommend this as stay basic stay. 

Amazing place to stay

Stayed here for 9 days as i was working in the local area. I booked a private room with the 25% discount which brought it to about £40 a night. The room was tiny maybe 8 feet by about 7feet. 

The bunk beds were too small which I couldn't actually lay flat on which made sleeping difficult and at 5 11'' I kept thinking they must be child beds or something, the room felt like i was in prison. 

On my last day it had snowed which resulted in me not being able to drive up the hill of the entrance, they had not thought ahead of gritting the road which left about 5 guests stranded and me missing out on work.

Other minor things were no spot light when it got dark was an annoyance as i had  to walk to the car with the torch on just to know where i was going.

There was no Wifi and no signal in the building so any calls you wanted to make you'd have to stand outside in the rain as it's always raining at that time of year.

Staff were friendly and the kitchen area was very useful for making your own meals.

I hate to complain but i just think it was over priced for what i got regardless of it being a hostel you should not charge hotel prices as without the discount it would have been around £54 a night.

For one nigh stay i'd recommend, anything more i'd get a hotel.
