The facility is fine. Very normal hostel with a few quirks. The team were great when we encountered a problem with our room. We were moved to a different room. The location is fantastic in the center of Pitlochry. Definitely a good value for money.

Friendly staff and the hostel is clean and has bright imaginative decor. In the town and close to rail station. Well equipped kitchen for self catering. Good to see the building being invested in with a new roof. Once the works are finished hopefully the car park will be cleaned up.

J'y suis passée en coup en vent et le simple fait d'avoir un toit sur la tête me fait dire qu'il est parfait pour ce dont j'ai eu besoin. La seule chose que je pourrais éventuellement regretter c'est de courir après quelqu'un pour le check-in. Sinon tout bien.

The hostel was very busy when I stayed. I had to wait to have dinner as loads of people were cooking elaborate meals for ages, leaving everything in a mess. The lounge was very noisy, so it was impossible to relax after a long day (thank goodness for headphones). The kitchen and bathroom facilities are not very clean at all. Also, why has the drying room disappeared!? Lovely and welcoming staff, but given that this hostel is more expensive than others in the area, it really doesn't deliver.

Average to good hostel. As advertised the best feature is a large lounge\dining room. The central location is great for eating out\takeaways which is useful cos the kitchen is on the tight side with only one single tap for EVERYONE whether filling a water bottle or washing up the dishes or getting the kettle filled for the free tea&coffee. [The owners need to fit a seperate filtered water outlet somewhere that is not in the kitchen area]. The off road carpark clinched it 4me. I would stay again.

Great location, almost directly opposite the station and another guest told me that it is easy to park here. Pubs and restaurants in Pitlochry are definitely not cheap, so you might be better off using Pitlochry Backpackers' excellent kitchen. Great hiking near by, my favorite hikes were Ben Vrackie and the Bealach Path, which I started from the near by village of Moulin. Some lovely communal areas at Pitlochry Backpackers but what really makes the place is the amazing staff.
