The place was very nice, a bit busy at times, but well-organised. The room was good for all of us, I would prefer a bit bigger bathroom, but it was clean and decent. Very comfortable for 1 or 2 nights, and conveniently located near the hiking area.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was clean and modern. Absolutely ideal if you’re climbing Ben Nevis too as it’s on the doorstep.
