I have stayed at the youth hostel during all my three visits to this beautiful island over a span of 2 years, and always have the same delightful experience. The first two visits, I was travelling alone and stayed in the dorms. The bunk beds are surprisingly comfortable and if you are armed with ear plugs and eye masks, good... More

Stayed 2 nights in September in twin room. Excellent facilities in room. Good size well-equipped self-catering kitchen. The whole inside has had much money spent on its renovation. Good location and friendly staff. Car is an advantage to get to rest of island.

Stayed in September 2012, its a very clean, smartly renovated place, and ok priced. But for the location, and the building, its rather souless and dreary compared to many hostels. For those using public transport it struggles in terms of value against cheap end B&Bs at the southern end of Arran which have better public transport links.

Stayed here 20 July 12 and found it fantastic. It was spottless and very modern. What a fantastic kitchen. We had a room for 4 with private bathroom. The beds were very comfortable(but another pillow was needed). The room was small but it accommodated 3 women no problem. The bathroom and particluar the shower, was amazing, really hot and powerful.... More

Had an overnight stay at Lochranza SYHA, it was great and ticked all the boxes - clean, fresh, comfy and affordable. The self-catering kitchen is fabulous! Check-in staff really friendly and helpful, and the cleaning staff in the morning were chatty and keen to give tips on the best places to go to spot seals :-) Had the delight of... More

Stayed there for few nights with our friends. Helpful staff, gave us separate rooms for no extra cost! Just after refurbishment, en-suite bathrooms with showers, extra showers in the corridor for crowded mornings, amazing kitchen with everything you need from small parties to big events. Wifi, lounge (separated from the dining area) with TV to relax, comps.. I would just... More

It was a very spontaneous decision to stay here (cheapest bed and breakfast at the ferry terminal was 100 pounds!) so we opted for the Hostel. Best one I've ever stayed in. Commercial kitchen, cubbieholes for 'stuff', bunk beds comfy. (okay, the blanket was a little narrow, but only because I'm not on the narrow spectrum! I won't hold that... More

Just back from a 4 night stay at Lochranza and enjoyed every minute of it. We had a 4 bed en suite room for the family. OK it's not that cheap (about £75 per night) but the facilities are excellent. Being able to wash filthy gear after a day out walking and dry everything in a great drying room does... More

Stayed for 5 days in this hostel, one of the best I have ever stayed at! Modern facilities, clean, fantastic location (deer grazing in the garden and seals swimming in the loch!!) and very knowledgeble and helpful staff.
