I was able to arrange leaving my car on the car park the night before my stay, as I was going on a long 24 hour walk. All I had to do was notify the reception when I arrived and leave my vehicle registration number with them. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful, pointing out were all of the amenities were and what was expected from me as a guest. This was my first time staying at a youth hostel but it will not be my last. Well done to all.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, good beds, nice bedding, a lot of large, nicely renovated bathrooms. We could regulate our own heating. The kitchen was fully equipped, had a nice dining area. Very good communication with the staff before our stay. Overall a great experience.

Very comfortable rooms, fully equipped kitchen and even a common area with Netflix. They do laundry at a reasonable cost, let us leave our bags before check in, were very accommodating and allowed us to check in a bit earlier, all which was excellent! Stunning views of the loch and town from our window.

    I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

    Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.

    the atmosphere, from the friendly welcome to the décor and facilities, everything was beyond my expectations. This hostel is a great way to travel solo while meeting others. The facilities were also very clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The staff and volunteers were also really friendly and all over I had a fab time. The dormitory also was very safe for a solo traveller. It really was a home away from home vibe.
