We checked into Cellb on the 19.4.2017 – my son and I were purely down to visit the Downhill Bike centre Antur Stiniog – CellB offered the best night stay for a fraction of hotel / bed and Breakfast cost. The best way to describe this little gem is “Boutique Hostel” – we got a room for 2 – so no sharing with anyone else – bonus point! Emma at the reception was brilliant and put our bikes away in one of the Cells in this ex-police station. We needed these out by 9am the next morning and on cue Emma’s partner had them out for us. Room was tiny but added to the whole experience. We just needed a bed to sleep – shared shower was very clean and you didn’t need to bring your soaps or gels. Kitchen in the morning was clean and I like that we had access to the rooms with our own keys.
We did eat at the restaurant upstairs – okay its slightly dear but you must remember that the Town is not exactly in access to big supermarket and ingredients, staff and maintenance costs are bound to drive the cost of your pallet up. I had a starter as a main and son had a soup – didn’t really fancy much more after a long journey in. The dishes being brought out to other tables looked substantial enough and the service was quick and very friendly – thank you Karen for your welcome to the bar and restaurant.
Emma – the carpark needs all the remnants of the old fridges and furniture removing and tiding up. Other than that it’s a gem of a place. Will definitely return! Good luck with...
Read moreNeeding a cheap place to stay in the area, booked into Cellb in Blaenau Ffestiniog, just off the high street as it fitted the bill at £20 per person per night.||Its a nice warm well decorated hostel with lots of free parking behind.||Nia e-mailed instructions on how to find the key early in the day - though could do with some lighting behind the hostel.||Room was small, but only designed for 3 beds and i had it to myself being out of season in November. Beds, chair and a table. Kitchen area was sufficient, but given the takeaway in town, i only used it briefly. Clean & tidy toilets.||Only issue was the noise from the bar above on the Friday night, with people in the room above and walking up / down the stairs whilst drunk - really could do with better sound proofing as i couldn't get to sleep till after the bar closed. Given that its all CellB, you'd of thought it would have been sorted.||Apart from the sleepless night, a nice little hostel, with friendly staff and...
