The place is very quiet, clean and good location. It was a little difficult to find the address and how to check in , but was my mistake to expect reception. Actually I really appreciated their way of checking in.

1st, the location of this hostel is not where it shows on the map. 2nd make sure you pay close attention to how to properly LOCK the door, people will just walk in otherwise. 3rd the earliest the kitchen is open is 7:30 am. Aside from these points, this location is a great value for the money and the area. We were able to get to Lochness/Urquhart Castle ruins in 15 minutes by car. We had 4 adults in our room. 3 beds, bedding, toilet, a roll of toilet paper, shower, hot water, working heat, and UK plug-ins all provided and worked properly. (Bring your own towels.) We were very pleased with the accommodations and recommend for a basic, economical, no frills stay. Thank you for providing this safe, convenient option for those on a budget.

Very pleasant stay.

Had a great overnight stay. Very clean and welcoming the mattress wasn't the greatest but still managed a good sleep. I never used the kitchen or dining area but it was very clean and if I was here for longer I wouldn't have an issue. Room 2 was cosy everything worked i.e. heating etc. Staff on site were very friendly and made me feel welcome.

Well, you can't expect much from a hostel, it's not like a hotel. But I must say it's a pleasant stay and their assistance for check-in is also nice since it's a self-check-in, I overlooked my email because of the poor coverage. We called them and it was a nice approach.

Property is in need of a good spruce up. Broken door handles , and window locks. No towels are provided , stating it’s a hostel as a get out clause. Self check in / out. Was very quiet as a plus point … Sadly over priced for the offerings

Not impressed as really cold

Room clean , bed dreadfully hard, room cold/ freezing to sit in , no heating on luckily there were bunk beds so used the quilt off one of them and the quilt on double bed . Was really cold though and couldn’t get anything dry. The bathroom door did not close or stay shut , so from the glass front door u could see right in to whoever was in the bathroom . Neighbours were very noisey so walks paper thin. Not impressed it was a roof over my head . Not the best stay I’ve ever had. I came from Applecross Bunkhouse hostel and it was warm and cosy this was not unfortunately . Staff were nice though .

We were not told about brining our own towels until we were already in Scotland. The door was hard to lock and there was no internet. The water in the shower pressure came and went.

I was messaged that I would need to self check in on arrival which wasn't an issue but no details were sent on which room number I was or where/ how to collect key. The number provided took many attempts to contact. The site is very run down, rooms in poor condition, not even dispensed hand soap in the bathrooms and I expected dispensed shower gel but absolutely nothing. The site has been run into the ground, room dirty and bedding all stained. Mattresses have had their day, a really terrible experience for a £90 a night stay!!! I would avoid and take a tent or sleep in your car for better comfort
