This place could be so much better! We turned up, thankfully dry, because there is no drying room or drying faciilties. The male/female only dorms are about as big as my thumb, cramped with no way on earth you can get bags in there as well as people. The top bunks had no barriers so H&S nightmare! There was a... More

A group of 4 of us stayed here for 1 night during May 2013 whilst walking the Great Glen Way. We stayed in hostels each night, with this one on the last night of our trip, and it was definitely the worst of the bunch. The bathroom areas were communal, which didn't feel right, although the showers themselves were very... More

We were on a road trip in Scotland during 2008 and stayed for a night at the Lochness Backpackers in the village of Drumnadrochit. The review comes late but better late than never. Landed up at this place early evening and got easy parking. We stayed in the main house in a triple room. The room was very clean with... More

must point out that we were the only guests there, so having all the space does perhaps give a better impression! charming enough place, good location, plenty on offer in the hostel and nearby, staff were polite and helpful, beds were comfy, and place was clean. A good hostel in other words! Could see potential drawbacks, but would be the... More

this hostel was brilliant. We had arrived late but someone had waited for us to check in. We managed to get our gear in the drying room that night and had no problems getting everything back warm and dry early the next morning. We found the staff to be friendly but not invasive there is an open fire and tv... More

nice quiet hostel, loved the roasting coal fire and the bar. Room was comfortable and well heated. Liked the bar and being able to get a snack meal late at night. Enjoyed the tip of going up to see the castle at night.

We stayed here whilst paddling the Great Glen Canoe Trail during December, so when we arrived after a days paddling Loch Ness, we were wet, tired and in need of hot showers and a rest......what we got was far from this! Firstly the 'drying room' as they call it is a damp old shed with a leaky roof and rotting... More

The staff was wonderful as were the guests staying there. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had while touring around Scotland. The staff was very helpful in telling us about the area and where we might travel to next. The guests kept us entertained all evening telling us stories. All in all it was a very friendly and...

I had an enjoyable stay here. Nothing fancy or to write home about, but nothing disappointing either. Was a short walk from wherever I needed to go. Free Wifi in the downstairs. Very helpful staff. Rooms were tidy also
