If you like mountain views outside your window, definitely consider Gwynant top floors. I am very comfortable in my accommodation and absolutely love waking up to nature outside my window. Gwynant is also conveniently located, next to the bar and shop, and closest to the walk towards the uni buildings. The wifi is excellent and the doors and walls are soundproof so there isn't much disturbance or loud sounds. My only complaint is that there have been many times that the lift doesn't work, which is annoying when I'm coming up and down with a heavy suitcase, but other than that I think this is as good as I could have asked for!

Gwynant is right next to Bar Uno and on the edge of Ffriddoedd Road, which makes the walk to the centre slightly shorter. Everything is really close by
I do feel safe in halls and I’m lucky enough to have a staff mentor in my flat that also is there when you need any help, but unfortunately the beds aren’t the most comfortable. But other than that it’s great for the first year as you don’t have to worry about too much. Everything is quite close to halls and there’s even an on campus shop and bar if you’re interested.
Affordable, clean and safe, the staff are very responsive when they are required for any issue that may need resolving
I’ve lived on Ffriddoded Village for 3 years and this by far is my favourite building. It is for anyone who isn’t a fresher, meaning I had more likeminded people in my flat in my final year. The building is right next to the entrance, meaning it’s super quick to walk to classes. Right next to Bar Uno, next to the common room, across from halls office & the post office and the laundrette. Definitely recommend this flat for second years and above
The only bad thing is that the WiFi is sometimes a bit dodgy! Other than that, halls here are amazing and wel worth the money :)
Halls are very good for price compared to other uni's with the ensuite and and kitchens being comfortable to live in. There always is a good friendly atmosphere in the halls and has always got something going on.
The halls site is so secure and the staff on site are there 24/7 if you need anything. The facilities on campus are brilliant too and the site itself is only a 10 minute walk from lectures and then another 5 minute walk to get into town
So far its been great. Everything is cleaned properly and the room is really good value for money. Wifi is good most of the time too.
Halls were worse than I had anticipated for student accommodation, when I arrived the room was dirty (vomit on the floor from the previous year), the kitchen was semi broken, the oven didn't work, the fridge didn't stay cold, the freezer didn't freeze, some of these issues were fixed but not most. For the price they are certainly not as nice as you would hope, The wardens for each hall are sometimes good but mainly complain about things that are trivial (dishes being dirty when you are washing them at the time, a single wrapper left on the side for five minutes, things like that). The social aspect is the best with the Bar being only minutes from the flat, but in all the large flat size with students constantly changing rooms and leaving university (exchange students) leads to a rather negative experience. The wardens don't help as they force flatmates to push blame for mess onto others etc.. I would say it was like any basic student accommodation and is only short term.
