BCC Loch Ness Hostel

+ Very cheap private room

- Could do with a little TLC but this is reflected in the price

- La terrasse en bois pour les logements cinq et ultra glissante, partant de pluie, j’ai failli tomber

+ Spacious

- Heating wasn't working, cold night. Pillows are wafer thin.

+ Camera indipendente molto spaziosa e parcheggio privato difronte. Cucina comune a disposizione

- La mancanza di asciugamani e l'impossibilità di chiederli neanche a pagamento. viaggiando in moto ed arrivando ghiacciato e bagnato mi sono trovato in difficoltà per la doccia. Pulizia inesistenze, polvere, ragni scarafaggi in camera ed un forte puzzo di muffe misto piedi sporchi. La cucina in comune era insufficiente per la mole di persone presenti

+ buena situación al lado de la carretera, tranquilo

- no había toallas, por lo visto es así en los hostales y este lo era. las camas hacían ruido con solo moverte un poco

+ Muy bien, hotel limpio, la atención de recepción de 10, camas cómodas

- Que no tiene ascensor.

+ We have stayed here before in room two and it was pretty good not brilliant but ok, this time round we stayed in room eight the experience was very different, the beds were extremely uncomfortable with one slim pillow a slatted base thin mattress and wooden headboard, we were booked in for three nights and had also booked a one hour sail on Lochness for the Saturday 27/09/2025 at 2pm cost £40.00, on our first night Thursday 25/09/2025 we got to the room it was clean enough a large room with a decent sized bathroom/shower, this first night was pretty sleepless what with the lumpy mattress creaking slatted base and to round things off, we were treated to dim lighting and thankfully had brought a Torch with us, the main ceiling lighting bedroom and bathroom inexplicably went out at 6pm they did one back on at 1130pm so I had the pleasure of getting up and turning them off, On our second day Friday we bought pillows but decided against buying divan beds and mattresses, so we had Fish and chips instead, we were out for a very long time as going back to those beds was very unappealing the pillows eased the pain a little though, we got back around 7.45pm went inside pushed the light switch darkness, out came the torch got to the dim lamplight and turned them on they worked happy days, now we know it’s not a Hotel but I think the expectation of having working ceiling lights during the hours of darkness is not asking to much, we looked at each other and decided we were not hanging around for another night, so Saturday morning I cancelled the Lochness sail informed the cleaner the room would not be used on Saturday night as we were leaving forthwith, I really dislike leaving/ giving bad reviews but this is necessary and the Lights were still not in working order when we left at 1045am Saturday 27/09/2025.

- The Beds very uncomfortable, and the main lighting in the room cutting out

+ The staff responded to a request

- The mattress was a disgrace and dangerous due to exposed spring ends. No bedside tables. No bath mat. No bath soap. Dirty walls. There was a note in the kitchen advising a requirement to wash and return crockery and cooking appliances to kitchen cupboards however there was no dishwashing liquid available nor a tea towel nor any clean dishcloths. The fridge had dairy products in it that for all we knew could have been weeks old.

+ The place was ok bearing it is budget accommodation I would certainly return we enjoyed our stay I noted that on TripAdvisor reviews people really made it sound bad, that's not justified & unfair. It was warm , clean & had a massive shower and well equipped kitchen.

- I like to go into a local pub to chat with the people & maybe get some fish and chips. There was neither anywhere near the accomodation. But I would still recommend the place just take some burgers with you and cook them in the kitchen. 👍

+ Very pleasant location to stay.

- It was clear to us that it was a hostel, but if you feel even dirtier after your stay than when you arrived, that’s unacceptable. The rooms were dirty, the bed was uncomfortable and looked like it belonged in a prison, and there was no hot water. The toilet bowl was filthy and disgusting. On top of that, the room was freezing! Considering the price we paid, we should at least have been able to sleep in a clean and comfortable environment. This service should definitely be cheaper or neater.

+ Enough space in the room
