Has anyone used ones of the Snowdonia youth hostels to sleep in. I really wanted a sleep before I got back to Kings. I wondered how they'd would be about somebody turning up 2am

I remember some discussion about this last year. I think the conclusion was they would be closed.
Yes, that's my recollection too. (It also fits with my experiences of other YHAs - they do often have key-code entry, but you have to checkin at a "civilised" hour first.)
The relatively late sleep-stop [I got there about 4am on my first attempt] is an inherent problem for FV riders on the BCM; many experienced riders have napped on the veranda of the Snowdon Ranger YHA, or on the benches at the Transfwnynynyyd junction bus shelter.
In fact, deployment of a warm bivvy bag on that stretch might be advantageous - thus avoiding bed shortages at Kings.
