Great place. Awesome value for the money and the staff helped us with instructions to install ourselves (we arrived late). Unique recommendation is to tell people that you don’t include towels, a lot of people don’t frequent hostels that much and we forgot about this detail
We stayed here just one night before our Ben Nevis trip and that hotel is the best start point. Personnel were friendly and helpful. After many trips we appreciated the dryer room, where you can clean and dry your clothes.
Clean, modern facilities with spacious common area downstairs, full kitchen, friendly and helpful staff, great nature access right out the front door. Easy stay for those less familiar with hostels.

Well located hostel, friendly staff
Generally speaking fine. A well designed hostel. A friendly team. Greater attention to detail on the housekeeping side would be good For instance soap dispensers and towels remained empty despite prompts and some kitchen equipment was depleted and defective.
Perfect location. Good facilities. Friendly staff.
Could be better in terms of cleanliness, e.g. no soap in toilets, dining room floor covered in food and left for several days etc
Fantastic place to stay, staff so friendly, very clean , no complaints, I felt very safe staying here whilst working at local hospital, also liked the beer you sell.
We spent a night at the hostel before hiking uo Ben Nevis. The hostel was great snd sevice friendly. The location is great for an early start up the mountain too :) Wpukd definitely stay here again.
Really great place.
Amazing views and possibly the best youth hostel.
We stayed 2 nights to explore the area. The path to Ben Nevis is opposite and we had a view of the mountain range from our room.
Couldn't be better.
This hostel is a no frills stay with in a great location for anyone looking to hike Ben Nevis with the trail starting just the opposite side of the road. The bunk beds were clean and each level had it's own light and plugs.
Lovely clean private room en-suite - Fe on reception was so welcoming and helpful. Due to current pandemic amenities are limited but impressive how the hostel are managing these.
The location of this place is amazing, with stunning views. As hostels go, it's definitely a step above. Nice decor, plenty of space, very clean. Would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you want to explore/hike.
This is the nicest hostel I have ever been to! The facilities are clean and the staff is friendly and most helpful. I was so impressed that I am going back in a couple days when I return to the area.
