I was really looking forward to staying here. Received a good welcome. All was well until 1am when I was woken by car doors constantly slamming in the car park. The door slammers came in and started a noisy party accompanied by marching up and down the corridor and door slamming inside. I had to go out and sleep in... More

This may not be the most flash hostel in the world but I certainly had a very nice stay. I felt at home straight away, the staff and all the people were very friendly. There's a large selection of DVDs you can watch anytime in the lounge (however 'Braveheart' was missing!!), and there are two resident cats that love a... More

We stayed here initially for one night and liked it well enough for a second. The staff are helpful and friendly as are those who have been resident a little longer. There are sinks in the rooms, plenty of showers, a kitchen that could do with a good scrub but is adequate, two very cool cats in the lounge and... More

Hostel is a bit tricky to find, it is signposted from the main road in Broadford but then you have to look for the hostel behind the medical center... It doesn't look very distinguished from the outside it's true, but it makes up for it once you are inside because the staff seems to be very fond of painting which... More

Yes, it's basic backpacker accommodation, but.... I've stayed here a couple of times and although the manager has a friendly demeanour that doen't make up for it's shortcomings. First off it's noisy, not just from the residents who stay up till partying till the small hours, but also from the impromptu traveller's site in the garden.The manager doesn't seem to... More

Greeted with a warm welcome, but soon relised the hostel was a little untidy. Room smelt like moth balls, bed was on a lean and I nearly fell out of bed. Kitchen floor was greasy and I couldnt find a clear frying pan, and there was also food in the fridge going mouldy, On the positive side the showers and... More

There weren't many other people staying there at the time but the staff there were wonderful, they made us feel so welcomed and were really friendly and helpful and they had some very cute cats! The place was really clean and we had access... More
