Location is just stunning, right at the foot of Ben Nevis and a short drive from Fort William. Rooms are spacious enough, cozy and clean. The inn itself is one of the best pubs I’ve been to, if not the best.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, good beds, nice bedding, a lot of large, nicely renovated bathrooms. We could regulate our own heating. The kitchen was fully equipped, had a nice dining area. Very good communication with the staff before our stay. Overall a great experience.

I never had such a nice hostel experience as this one. I slept really good (normally I never sleep good in hostels), the facilities were really clean and there was a nicely home vibe in the hostel. I would recommend this hostel!

The perfect location for our trip to see the Jacobite (Hogwarts Express) at Glenfinnan. We were fortunate enough to have the Bunkhouse to ourselves which meant we didn't have to share the communal areas. Bonus! The host is wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed

This is four rooms floor with a single share bathroom. I will rate the facilities as a fair and very nice 1*;star hotel. The manager is useful and replies online very quick. Early laguage drop-in/check-in is available per request and availability. The location of the property is the best. The single room is small, but not a box room. With huge respect and perfect experience, Alexandr

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.

the atmosphere, from the friendly welcome to the décor and facilities, everything was beyond my expectations. This hostel is a great way to travel solo while meeting others. The facilities were also very clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The staff and volunteers were also really friendly and all over I had a fab time. The dormitory also was very safe for a solo traveller. It really was a home away from home vibe.
