This is very of grind, so you should be aware of that. If that is what your looking for it is the perfect place for you. Super cozy, amazing people and in the middle of nature. The place to slow down and get away from everything!

Fantastic stay in one of the most remote places in the Highlands, Jan, (the warden), was a delight, friendly welcome, helpful and always seemed to be smiling. She is a credit to the hostel nd the weary traveler's who stay there. I have been retired for a few years, but I and my old army friend still do walks and adventures and apart from the weather it could not have been better. Well done.

Absolutely brilliant spot. Loch Ossian Hostel has one of the best locations you’ll ever stay in, right on the loch with incredible views of the surrounding hills. It feels completely remote and peaceful, which makes it perfect for switching off and enjoying the Highlands. Waking up to the view over the water is something special. If you love nature and quiet places, the setting here is hard to beat. And getting there is part of the adventure. Jan was very helpful and made sure you had what you...

Beautiful place to stay! The lady was very kind and helpful. The kitchen is a bit small when the place is fully booked so try have an early dinner. There is heaps of walking and fishing to do around the place and I managed to pull some nice pike from the loch, the beds are comfy and the hostel is clean. I would highly recommend this beautiful place

Amazing place. Many beautiful hikes you can do from here. Very remote, but that's the reason to come here really. Staff was very friendly. Would love to come back some day.

很喜歡這裡,很安靜,管理的奶奶人很好!像是高級山屋,床鋪舒適還可以洗熱水澡。有廚房可以帶食材來料理。是個放鬆度假的好地方!

I was so looking forward to this place, but wild camping would have been preferable. I would say a hostel is only as good as the customers and then location. The gents has a room of 12 beds, crammed in, with not enough space for backpacks/bags. No inside toilet, that is out, via kitchen, vestibule, outside, round back of building, to outhouses. Shower was good, unless someone washed up at the same time. If this is the jewel in the crown for Scottish hostels, then they judge only on location. Mid...

An absolute jewel in the crown of SYHA The 'facilities' are of course location -specific. A microwave would have been useful, and uses less electricity than the conventional stove. But this place is what it is, and wonderful

Jan ,the manager , went out of her way when we first arrived. I was freezing cold having cycled through the rain and bitter cold. She instantly switched on a hot shower, brought me a warm dressing gown and hot cup of tea. Unforgettable care😊

Fantastic youth hostel on the Bank of Loch Ossian, perfect stopover for hillwalking and cyclists. It's very rustic so be prepared for long drop toilets outside, basic facilities but warm and dry.
