We booked to beds in the mixed bedroom of 4. The bedroom was tiny...For four people too small if you stay for a longer time but if you stay one night it is cheap and good. We payed nine pounds per bed and it was what we expected. I should say if you want to stay cheap and you do... More

My friend and I stayed in this hostel and had a good experience! It has its quirks, but overall it is just a small town hostel with a laid back and friendly atmosphere. We had accidentally booked our reservation on the wrong day, but the guy working at the front desk was really nice about it and found us beds... More

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We were just beginning to think that Tripadvisor was the revenge reviewer’s haven. It would be great to see you again so we could give you some VIP treatment on a night out in Inverness! Take care and enjoy your travels More

I have stayed at many hostels, ranging from lovely to horrible and I try to remain open minded and tolerant.

The hostel is very convenient to the bus station and while close to the train station is a little difficult to find. It is in a small secluded laneway which is something to watch on dark evenings especially if travelling alone. Upon arrival, there was a decent, very hospitable welcome. The rooms were small and the communal bathrooms did seem... More

I travelled with 3 other friends, two of whom were girls and had a good overall experience at the hostel. The kitchen facilities are excellent. Obviously, the location is the best thing about it. One tip though, if with girls, try and get a separate room, as we booked the four bedroom dorm and as such had a complete room... More

The last thing I expected to occur when booking into this hostel was to be asaulted, let alone by the manager, as a consequence of ringing the bell to get inside @2AM because the front door, knowingly to owner and staff, is a bit dicky and can be difficult to open. The manager, had had a few and in a... More
