Top tips for finding the perfect Holyhead hostel

• For the active traveler, staying in a hostel in Holyhead can offer not only great value for money, but a selection of amenities and services not commonly found in a standard hotel. Many of the budget accommodations on the island are specially geared towards walkers and outdoor adventurers, meaning they feature facilities like equipment rooms, packed lunch–making services, and assistance with booking tours or planning walks. It is, however, important to note that there are not very many options when it comes to hostels on the island.
• The main hostel in Holyhead, Anglesey Outdoors, is located some distance away from the town of Holyhead itself. This is not a bad thing: in fact, guests can benefit from stunning views and a beautiful countryside location, all while being just a 5 min drive from the Holyhead railway station and harbor. Porthdafarch Beach is only a 5 min walk from the property, and guests can enjoy a range of outdoor activities like kayaking and climbing nearby.
• The best hostel in Holyhead for couples is Anglesey Outdoors, which offers several twin rooms with private or shared bathrooms. The hostel features many in-room amenities that you could also expect to find in a hotel, such as closet space and a sitting area, and couples will enjoy making use of facilities like free tea and coffee available around the clock in the communal lounge.
• Anglesey Outdoors is also a great choice for groups looking to stay in a hostel. Dormitory rooms are available in a number of configurations, from four to six beds, and often have private bathrooms. Groups that are in Holyhead for an active vacation can store luggage or dry outdoor equipment in the drying room, cook their own meals in the community kitchen, or dine at the on-site bar and bistro during the high season. The shared lounge also boasts group-friendly activities like board games, a TV, and a piano for an evening sing-a-long.
