We will never forget this place! The most incredible views of the loch and the staff (Suzanne) was very helpful and friendly! We want to live here now!
The hostel was clean and easy to get to, with plenty of parking. Suzanne at the front desk was great. Kitchen was clean and fully stocked. Beds and duvets very comfortable.
For a hostel this was a pleasant experience. Quiet, not much traffic (I may have lucked out only having one roommate). Bedding was actually warm enough and towels were available on request. The ladies bathroom was clean (there was only one toilet and shower that I saw (unless I missed more), so you may need to share and wait to use. Ratagan is fairly simple so there isn't much choice for food, best to bring snacks or prepare to purchase whatever misc snacks the hostel offers. Wifi is only available in the main area, NOT the rooms or the dining area. A basic breakfast was available with a charge (toast, yogurt, cereal, coffee, tea, milk, orange juice).
A nice clean place! Quiet and beautiful spot in the water! Our room was great! 2 bunk-beds and a desk. Power and wifi. The guy at the front desk was friendly and very helpful!
Great base for the Kintail area. For a hostel it is well equipped for £20 per night. Bring enough food at least for breakfast and lunches, good kitchen but can get busy. Kintail Lodge about 2 miles away provides a bolt hole for an evening meal if you wish. Drying room and showers. It is a hostel so you are sharing with 6-8 others
Hubo un error en la reserva (se hizo para un día antes de lo que llegaríamos) y toda la preocupación del propietario era asegurarse que cobraría. Ante nuestra petición de que lo que nos preocupaba era que al día siguiente no teníamos alojamiento (viajamos con un niño) quedó en buscar alguna alternativa y que nos llamaría.... seguimos esperando su llamada.

Douche et wc partagés, literie vétuste, cet établissement super bien placé mériterait un petit rafraîchissement
État d’esprit très agréable comme on en attend d’une auberge de jeunesse, très friendly
Petit déjeuner à 5,95£ un peu chiche... mais le café est bon
L’environnement est tout simplement superbe, surtout avec la lumière du matin
Les gens très sympa et agréable prêt à vous rendre service
Parking facile
Wifi indisponible dans les chambres
Foi a primeira vez que me hospedei num hostel e me surpreendi. Gostei da limpeza da cozinha e tinham muitos equipamentos (TD pra vc se sentir em casa). Limpeza dos banheiros e áreas comuns muito boa. Silencioso. Lugar lindo e aconchegante. Funcionário educado e atencioso. Ótima experiência nesse lugar!
Nous avons passés une nuit avec ma femme et mon fils de 5ans. L'hotel ne paye pas de mine mais il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences, c'est chaleureux, l'endroit est juste magique, une vue magnifique.
