Customer Reviews Loch Lomond SYHA

11 Apr 2012 Arnik, Thailand
We (me,my brother,parents) arrive the hostel in the late afternoon, and staffs at reception are very friendly, we all are very impressed,we know one of them is Laula, but we don't know about another as she didn't say her name, but all we could say is both of them are really show us the genuine Scottish hospitality. We were on the top floor so carrying luggage up the stair especially the last circular bit can be a little bit tiring, but as we didn't do this everyday, it is alright. Going to a toilet or shower at night can be scary if your are easily frightened as you will have to passed to many doors, some of them producing cracking noise like in a ghost movie.

Fair efficiency of service relates to the ineffectiveness of the night manager to manage a rowdy group of youngsters during the night which disrupted several of the other guests. And this accounts for the poor comfort rating since our family did not sleep as the noise continued for about 3 hours in middle of the night without respite. Otherwise we found the hostel pleasant and good value for money.

really impressive location, nice staff BUT first they did not get the booking right (8 bed dorms male and female instead of the doble bed twin room, and after i couldn´t reach them for ages, they finally corrected the booking. when whe arrived, the booking was still wrong, giving us a private room but with bunk beds - we´re a couple for chrissakes :-( really annoying and staff not really willing to deal with my complaint. otherwise good facilities,clean, there should be paper towels or at least an airdryer in the bathrooms...

We stayed 6 different places in our holiday and this was the absolute low point of the entire holiday. We had to pay 131 pund and 90 pence and we had 131 pund and 86 penny, but no we could not wait to give him the money to the next day, but have to give him 20 pund more and we got return in coins. What a rotten thing to start with.The hostel is clearly for people with car, because it is very hard to climb the long way up to the hostel by foot and with a lot of luggage. It is not just done with having a wonderful location, you need to be serviceminded too. I would never ever stay here again !

One of the more impressive Hostels I have stayed jn during the last 40 yrs. If not for the two chain-saw snorers the comfort would have been fine. A small sketch map showing how to sneak down and around the Loch to town would have been handy but we found our way about without too many detours. Will be back!

This hostel is very pretty. It has lots of charater and is very much worth a stop if you are staying in the area or heading further north.
