Overall the hostel appears tired and worn. Rooms were below standard. Worn mattresses and bedding, poor decor. Overall appearance was grotty/dirty. Showers were poor and took forever to warm up. If you shower for more than 30 seconds the shower tray floods. A light attached to each bed would help so as not to wake anyone sharing the room. Expensive for what is offered

I had a late arrival from the airport and a longer wait for my next train, and the Inverness Student Hostel was the perfect place to rest between travel. The staff was incredibly kind and friendly. The accommodations were clean and well kept. I would absolutely stay her again next time I visit Inverness for longer than a few hours.

Great location, helpful staff. Little bit annoying that there are no power outlets in the rooms, but that did make the downstairs area more populated and had some fun conversations.

The website (as of April 14th) stated check in was at 3:00pm. I arrived at 3:00pm and no one was on staff. A random backpacker notified me that no one was around and I'd have to come back at 5:00pm to check in since no staff would be around till 5:00pm. Our group had luggage and prior engagements for 3:30pm. Since we had no where to leave our luggage, we were forced to find other sleeping engagements. It was a terrible experience, because we ended up being late to our appointment.

Quarto mau cheiro, chuveiros com pouca água e ralo entupido.

There were bugs in the bathroom and the shower. The water didn’t drain properly in the shower, so I was just standing in dirty water. No outlets in the room to charge, until they miraculously installed ONE singular outlet the next day after complaints. The staff were ok. The bedding barely reaches feet, and I’m short. There were three toddlers during our stay and one farted in the bathroom for everyone else to smell. The floor was sunken in at the exit of our room. But it does the job I gues...

Nice place. But please change your laundry detergent to one without perfume.

This is my second time at Inverness Student Hotel, and somehow this stay was even more enjoyable! My only issue this time was coming in around 22:30, and trying to buzz in, as instructed. It just took a while for someone to come let me in, but otherwise was a great visit!

A homely and comfortable little hostel, that's perfect to spend a couple of nights in. The dorms, bathrooms and common area were very clean and there's a fully stocked kitchen to cook your meals. Located right next to Inverness Castle, which makes exploring the town very convenient.

All things considered, decent place to stay but the shower facilities were quite terrible. No vestibule area in which you can leave your clothes and it's not exactly the best idea to leave everything outside of your stall. The shower area didn't have a fan at all so it was constantly muggy. Kitchen and the actual rooms themselves were fine.

It was a great stay everything about the hostel was good but it’s really not a social hostel at least while I was there and there’s a 2:30 curfew.

I loved this hostel, beautifully clean and such a peaceful vibe. This hostel has one of the loveliest kitchens I’ve seen, it was the perfect place to explore Inverness from. (No lockers in rooms though)

This hostel is so cute! With multiple rooms to lounge, talk, or play games it creates the perfect atmosphere for any travelers! The staff is super friendly and the whole experience of staying there was wonderful! I met some of the nicest people and had such a great and memorable time!

Bathrooms were overflowing so flowing out on the ground. The showers didn’t have proper ventilation and trash and dirt on the ground. Sinks didn’t drain properly or quickly. Bugs in bed from unclean window seals. Big stains on sheets and hair that wasn’t ours before sleeping in. Unclean kitchen utensils.

Très bien placé et bonne ambiance, les parties communes sont cosy. Mais pas de prises ni de lampes individuelles, salles de bains et toilettes très peu pratiques avec une intimité relative ( vitres dans les wc, peu d'espace pour se changer dans les douches et poser ses affaires). Les lits sont très peu confortable car posés sur des planches...

Hostel was fine. The 6-bed dorm and the kitchen were pretty small and the only plug was an extension cord in the center of the floor for the bedroom. It was good for a night or two.
