Il costo rispetto ai servizi offerti è esorbitante. La camerata, i bagni e le docce nel seminterrato sono freddi e umidi e sono esigui rispetto al numero di persone e vanno puliti con maggiore frequenza. Tra un letto e l’altro nella camerata da 12 c’è a malapena il posto per muoversi per una persona. Non ci sono a disposizione asciugacapelli, a parte uno solo, ed è di una scomodità incredibile. Direi che è tutto davvero molto scomodo. Ci sono venuto per mancanza di alternative.

The cost compared to the services offered is exorbitant. the bedroom, bathrooms and shower in the basement are cold and humid and are small in relation to the number of people and need to be cleaned more frequently. between a bed and another in the room of 12 there is hardly room to move for one person. there are no towels available, except for one, and it is of incredible inconvenience. i would say that everything is really very uncomfortable. i came here for lack of alternative.

No lockers available except for really small one in the Lobby. NO VENTILATION IN THE ROOM!!! IT WAS STINKY ALL THE TIME! Could almost not breathe. Stayed for 3 night and I think if I would have stayed one more night I'd become sick! There's only one small dusty disgusting bacteria fan labelled as air purifier in the room for 12 ppl. I did never felt welcomed in the hostel and the staff never greeted someone. There were not rude but definitely not friendly. Do only stay here as a last resort!

probably the worst hostel i’ve ever stayed in. no hot water, shower turns off in seconds, dirty bathrooms, no plugs by the beds, too expensive for what it is. i didn’t know there are no buses on sundays, when i asked the front desk the man laughed in my face and said the taxis are only £100. i asked him if i could be refunded for the next two nights and he also laughed. kitchen was LOCKED so i couldn’t put my groceries away at night. loud stomping/yelling in the morning :/

To start positive, the staff was friendly. Nevertheless, the staff was not able to tell me where to find free parking spaces in Portree. Although it was the end of October, our dormitory was hot, sticky and without fresh air. No lockers are provided. The main kitchen was rather smelly, without atmosphere. There was no common room, other then the kitchen. Really annoying is the fact, that this hostel does NOT accept credit cards. Drawing cash money, cost me nearly 10 pounds extra fees, a No Go!

I really don’t ever write reviews, much less negative ones. I wanted to make sure people knew what they were getting into here. This experience was just so dissimilar to many other hostels throughout Scotland/ the UK. The hostel wasn’t very kind/ accommodating, as the door was locked and there’s only a brief window to check in despite the same 3 staff members always being on the premises (sometimes sleeping in the main foyer?) Don’t forget cash to check in, if you do.

This hostel has a strange vibe. On arrival payment is cash only and staff were less than friendly. Garish decor aside, the rooms were dirty and smelt musty, despite leaving the window open. We had to buy an air freshener. As is law, our room door was a fire resistant door. However, there was a sizeable gap beneath, rendering it ineffective. The shared bathroom was less than desirable with ingrained dirt around fixtures although toilet, sink and shower appeared relatively clean. Kitchen was belo.

Très froid dans les dortoirs et les douches, douches vraiment pas propres! Conduits d’évacuation de l’eau ne va plus donc on se retrouve les pieds dans l’eau après 2secondes, impossible de se laver les cheveux sinon ça déborde. Heureusement très bien situé dans Portree et je pense la seule auberge de jeunesse de la region, c’est donc pour cela que j’ai dormi ici!

It's very cold in the dorms and showers, showers really not clean! drainage pipes of water no longer work so you end up with your feet in the water after 2seconds, impossible to wash your hair otherwise it overflows. luckily very well located in Portree and I think the only youth hostel in the region, so that's why I slept here!

Auberge de jeunesse bien située. La cuisine est spacieuse et bien équipée. Il y a même une laverie avec lave-linge et sèche-linge. Nous sommes restés 2 nuits, les lits étaient confortables et la chambre calme.

Not enough toilets for the number of people . Lighting idiosyncratic - some individual lighting by the beds didn’t work . Lighting in the dorms very poor . Kitchen well equipped but smelly . Not good value for money -£82 for us / only a little less than a hotel or b and b - and we had to strip beds and queue for toilets . I think £25 pp would be more realistic .

Only stayed overnight and not stayed in a hostel for decades so hard to rate. Main thing missing for me was lack of place to have proper wash, don't always have time or inclination for a shower. Much prefer single sex dorm.

Staff is rude, Kitchen is well equipped and provides good utilities. But hostel is run by a family 5-6 member who will put tons of rules for travellers but themselves will break it. Its to noisy and loudly family will talking in kitchen!

Everything in the hostel was good except for the two other guests in our room who snored very loudly. Even with earplugs, it didn’t help, and I couldn’t sleep for two nights..

La ubicación es excelente, se encuentra a una cuadra del centro. El lugar es exactamente como se ve en la foto, cuenta con una super cocina y comedor con vista hacia el loch. Lo que si le faltaría es tener mas baños de los que tiene.

The location is excellent, it is one block from the center. the place is exactly as you see in the photo, it has a super kitchen and dining room with a view of the loch. what you would miss is having more bathrooms than you have.

Very good location in Portree, the room in the day are very very very cold. Every heater was turn off until 16. A very big kitchen with everything necessary to cook but a small and cold lounge at the reception area.

This a pretty basic hostel, for the price I would expect a bit more. Most of the place is clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the location is excellent. A warning tho, the hostel is ‘closed’ from 10am-1pm. There are signs asking guests to not be in their rooms in that time, plus reception and the kitchen are locked. The kitchen also closes from 10pm-6am aha so limited cooking opportunities.

Clean facilities and rooms, large Kitchen, would describe it as 'functional'. Not much atmosphere, no lockers and the luggage storage was to just leave it in the hallway. Common areas could be a bit more inviting.

It was honestly not very clean. There were bugs in the bathroom and I could see splatters on the wall in the dorm where bugs had been squished before and not properly cleaned. No plugs near the beds, thankfully I had a power bank already charged for my phone to set my alarm. No secure place to store your things in the dorms either.

Le dortoir pour 12 dépends sûrement de l'ambiance le soir même, mais ne comptez pas trop sur un confort énorme et une relative intimité ... Néanmoins les locaux sont entretenus et restent propres.

The dormitory for 12 surely depends on the atmosphere of the evening itself, but do not count too much on enormous comfort and relative privacy ... Nevertheless the premises are well maintained and remain clean.

Let me list the things you MUST like or be okay with if you want to stay in this place. If you own an airline, your flight will obviously never be delayed and you’ll never need to check in after 9 PM! Even if you call, explain the situation, and arrive at 11 PM – just 2 hours after check-in closes – I hope you enjoy having people talk badly about you at the front desk in another language (since you don’t speak theirs, they can say whatever they want). And of course, they’ll complain an...

Hostel spacious, clean bathrooms and WC. by contrast the walls of the rooms and sinks leave something to be desired. all rooms are accessible by code. no individual locker or curtain around the beds.

The room smelled very bad (chemical product for cockroaches ?) and it make us feel the place is not clean. It was also very crowded (not enough space between beds). It is a pity because the place is well situated and the kitchen is well organised... Moreover, the reception was not very friendly and the receptionist demanded that we pay in cash... This is strange and might be difficult for some travellers !
