Great little place to stay. The room was clean and the ensuite bathroom was great - the shower is fantastic! It's in a good location with beautiful views and good places to eat nearby.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had a ensuite room, was nice and quiet and nice touch to have outside seating, staff super friendly, rooms could do with some updating but it is a hostel. Bed was comfortable, a nice to have would be instructions on how to use the heater as it did get a little chilly at night. Overall a good stay. Nothing to do with the hostel, but can be tricky to find places to eat on a Monday night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a quaint place to stay that was within walking distance of a cute cafe and shops. The wifi wasn’t very reliable unless you were near the closest outside wall, but worked well there. Overall, it was clean enough, the TV had cable, and the beds weren’t too uncomfortable. I would recommend staying here again!

Clean and spacious ensuite room. Easy check in and ample parking at back. The bed was hard and lacking comfort. Shower and washroom were clean. I would have liked a hot water tap in the bathroom sink. Enjoyed our stay

The hostel had a nice and clean private room for me and my friend. We used a lockbox system to retrieve the key when the owner sent over the lock code. Great location just down the road from the Loch Ness Centre and over the road from the bus stop

Good location, nice room. Needs to provide instructions for using the TV and shower as we couldn't get either working on arrival - luckily met the cleaner 2nd day and he sorted the problems. No hot tap for the bathroom sink. Well equipped kitchen area for preparing meals. Good lounge with lots of comfy seating.

Good friendly accommodation

I stayed for 1 night in room no 2 which is located on the ground floor of the main building. This room is disabled friendly with a large ensuite bathroom. Self checkin process was straight forward. Room itself was spacious and clean. The chairs were a bit worn out but understandable for the price. Some noise transmitted from upstairs as people walked on the floorboards but did not bother me. Handy space at the back of the building to park the car. Overall I felt safe and comfortable. Handy bar/restaurant (Fiddlers) directly opposite the hostel serving great food.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Room comfort

Basic but passable. Unsatisfactory bed.

Basic but had all the amenities we needed for a 1 night stay. Some reviews say no hot water but we had two hot showers and had no issues. No toiletries is fine for a hostel but hand soap would have been helpful. Good location and parking available at the back of the property. Overall it was fine but two main issues: 1) we were both itching after sleeping in the bed - not sure if this is because of low quality bedding or bugs. 2) The lock box made it easy to check in but the front and back door isn’t locked, even at night so it didn’t feel very secure. Had I been staying alone I think I would have felt quite unsafe. There was a kitchen and lounge but we didn’t use them as the instructions didn’t indicate they were shared areas. Additionally, the green fire exit light in the room was very bright with the light off and so I slept with an eye mask. Only 1 thin pillow per person.
