No fue una experiencia agradable debido al pésimo servicio de recepción. Tuve que hacer una transferencia bancaria para pagar porque nunca hay nadie en recepción, ni temprano por la mañana, ni tarde por la noche, ni a primera hora de la tarde. Lo único positivo son los servicios que ofrecen: aparcamiento y toallas. Por lo demás, no volvería a reservar.

The hostel is a lovely space and run with a lot of love. I've met very nice people there and enjoyed my stay. However two things to note, the top bunks do not have any rails or anything that would prevent you falling off which definitely impacted my sleep. The showers were also cold and I was not the only one noting this. Cleanliness could be improved slightly but for the price it was okay.

Not your high frills hostel, the beds had no curtains, the landings were usually full of shoes drying out and 30% of the showers were broken… I’d come back tomorrow if I could! What a wonderful little spot, the people passing thru were so nice and it was such a great little town. Good launching spot to explore the Highlands and have somewhere to come back to. Whatever you do, do not forget your key when you go to the bathroom at night or you will sleep on the floor outside the door.

Very dirty and it smells bad I get it’s somehow cheaper than other options in the village but at least they should provide the basics like hot water and cleanness.

Cool place! Little bit of a farther walk from the main strip where most shops/bars/etc are located but nothing crazy. Very basic in terms of amenities, they offer towels, laundry, etc all for a charge. Shower didn’t get hot but sometimes it be like that. Overall not bad.

We booked this hostel for 3 nights and unfortunately had to leave after 1. There were only 2 showers for the entire hostel, and there was no hot water (even in the sinks). We tried showering at 3 different times (early evening, night, and morning) and even used the out of order shower at the staff member's suggestion and there was not hot water at any time. The staff member was nice and let us refund the unused days of our stay. Sheets are old and the wall had a questionable hole. Not for me.

Très bien, personnel très serviable. Grande cuisine qu’on peut utiliser, plusieurs douches et toilettes disponibles en + de ceux dans notre chambre! La salle commune est agréable avec tout ce qu’il faut (jeux, crayons de couleurs, crochets…). Il est possible de faire tourner une machine et les faire passer au sèche linge pour 10pound, c’est vraiment utile quand on est en back pack et que l’on fait uniquement des auberges de jeunesses. Juste petit bémol pour ma part : pas de rid...
