Parking can be difficult if you’re coming in high season. I was there off-season and got one of a few spots available. Other than that, everything was great.

We found the hostel well coming and very service minded. Clean and well kept. The surroundings are beautiful with the white houses in between the green hills by a turquoise sea.

This hostel is stellar. I came to Scotland on my first ever solo trip, and while it is far from the ferry port, Lochranza is easily accessible by the bus station that is less than a ten minute walk from the hostel itself. It is in an idyllic location and honestly felt like a dream to wake up there every morning. Staff were lovely, the kitchen is exceptional, and linens were clean, lockers were a good size for backpacking bags. My only critique was that I found it to be very cold at night.

Amazing stay! The staff are really friendly and attentive to your needs :) Loved that the kitchen is well stocked up and the beds are extremely comfortable (we all overslept on the first night we were here). The surrounding environment is peaceful as well and you would be happy walking out to nature all around you.

Petit parking. L'établissement doit être entretenu. 2 salles différentes entre ceux qui paient pour le petit déjeune et ceux qui apportent. Dommage pour la convivialité.

Beautiful location, easy to get to by public transport and nice staff. The communal spaces are not very cozy or nice to hang out, so as a solo traveler I found it more difficult to meet other travelers. But other than that good hostel :)

A few issues to be addressed. 1) friendliness of staff gentleman very grumpy & lady only acceptable not friendly no smiling face or welcome. 2) boiler broken, hot water provided in flasks but people preferring to boil water in pans & walk about with boiling water. Was told TV broken. Kitchen not a patch on Port Charlotte in organisation and cleanliness. Stairs a problem for me. old fashioned staircase, no hand rail especially on the corners.The fire door at top, very strong nearly knocked me do

Great hostel, very clean and the location is incredible. Only thing that is missing is electric outlet on every dorm bed- charging phones overnight is sometimes not possible as there are fewer power outlets in the room than beds.
