Customer Reviews Achmelvich Beach SYHA
| 07 Apr 2013 Tracey, Scotland | 93% | |
| Fantastic hostel, in a wonderful location, as this is a second visit for us as a group we were fully aware of the hostel and it only having one shower, would be great if they could squeeze in another one. Hostel was closing for a week after we left to upgrade the rooms to put in full sized beds and a family room, all great upgrades. The Hostel manager is very friendly and helpful. | ||

| Unfortunately we found the place overcrowded and the room cramped. Too many people fit into a tiny place, so hardly space in fridge, boxes etc.
Staff very nice, visitor's too young (for us) location not bad, but many ugly caravans in site ! | ||
