| I was traveling alone, so it was hard for me to get there. Because this hostel is placed near to Clen Nevis. So if you want to go to Nevis Range or Clen Coe, you should check the bus timetable, but it's never easy as well. And you should book this youth hostel at the youth hostel site, you have to pay the booking fee! £1.50. The hostel receptionist demanded £20 for 1 night, but I paid the deposit(£1) and the booking fee(£1.50) as I go. Eventually, I spent £22.5 for 1 night!! It made me annoyied. | ||

| I have given the same very positve rating to Aberdeen and I am still debating with myself which of the two was the better one. Hard to tell, both were excellent hostels with friendly staff. Clean, comfortable - one could feel very much at home there. Thanks!! I'll try to come back (I still have to "finish" Ben Nevis). The only thing where I might see a tiny improvement, would be plugs (sockets?) in the dorms, so that you load your phone / camera in the dorm and do not need to go to the reading area or the kitchen. | ||

| A great stay - arrived late but a pre-booked meal was already waiting and was just the job for the start of a 3 Peaks Challenge.
Booking was very effcient and all staff were very friendly. Thank you. | ||
