I stayed in this hostel just for a couple of days. The entrance is narrow and you have to go upstair by some stairway, also these very narrow. The building is very old. The guy at the reception seemed like if he wanted to stay in another place at that moment, So, no smile. In a hostel, i aspect the... More

Very average hostel but in comparison to cost it is good value for money. Kitchen was there but not very busy and untidy. Bathrooms and Toilets are ok. I would advice if you want to save some money then you can go to this hostel.

Horrible nasty odour on entering apartment - basic is an understatement. Shared living areas - makes student accommodation look luxurious Tried to find another option in area on arrival but no room anywhere in town. Would advise never to stay here!! Shower room was black and mouldly - no one braved it. Safer option was the wet wipes!!! Last resort!!

In an old house centrally located in Inverness this Hostel. It seemed that someone had the ambition to make this a nice place. But today it was just ugly worn and dirty. The staff seemed indolent, rather than to ensure that it worked, kitchen was a mess. The only breakfast was available was tea bags and instent coffe. Hardly worth... More

Don' t know why everyone has to complain this much about this place, we slept in a twin room and found nothing to complain about. The place didn't stink as some reviews say, the staff was helpful and not rude at all, rooms and toilets were fairly clean, there was no noise to disturb us. The WiFi worked well too.... More

My mum booked us to stay in this hostel for a cheap place to stay in Inverness as we had a very early coach home and needed to stay over. We had looked at the reviews on here and were trying to be positive about it, and that it might just be down to taste and expectation. This could not... More

I drive to Inverness on a daily basis and it is a 120 mile round trip. I have been looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights a week and ended up at this hostel. It is, unarguably, the cheapest place to stay in Inverness but it is NOT a nice place and you will leave Inverness... More

I have never stayed somewhere that I can safely say that there is no positives. I still cant as the following events led to myself and friends having to sleep in our cars in a car park.

Travelling with a group, paid for beds then went out to the cinema. When we returned more than half our beds were taken! Ended up having to sleep in our cars. Thankfully got a full refund without much hassle the following morning. There was a bad smell of BO on arrival and the beds seemed a bit of a mixture... More
