“Plenty for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We stayed here as part of a Rabbie's tour, so it was arranged for us. Check in was straightforward and friendly. The price, £15 per head, was a bargain. The wifi was surprisingly good. The free tea, coffee and hot chocolate a bonus. The common areas were such that you actually wanted to spend time in them. The heating was on - very welcome in winter. Recommendations for things to do and places to eat were available in abundance. Breakfast was a bargain. Generally impressed.

“good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

very centrally located, good price, clean, plus helpful staff. Cant really ask for any more than that for £17 a night. Loads of info available too if you were a tourist/backpacker.

“Fun, friendly staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

Stayed here 4 nights in a 6-person female dorm room. Hotel location right up the street from Inverness Castle, about a 5-10 minute walk from the city center and transit centers (bus and train stations). Free WiFi internet available throughout the building. Computer and printer available in lounge for a fee. Fully stocked (but cramped) kitchen available for guest use. Laundry service available for 5 pounds (wash, dry, and fold). Breakfast is served in the morning for varying prices, depending on what you want. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate is available 24/7, and free.

Toilet and shower facilities are separate from each other (and the rooms) and are kept very clean. Shower stalls are pretty spacious and have plenty of hot water.

Bedrooms are on the small side (for the number of beds in them) and can quickly get rather cramped, especially since the bunks are rather low to the floor, preventing luggage from being stashed under them. The beds themselves are very firm and not especially comfortable. That in combination with the old pillows made for a sore neck and back every morning.

Good location and decent value, but I doubt I'd stay there again, unless they invest in some new pillows and mattresses.

“Busy and cramped”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2011

The location is great and so is the atmosphere. It is annoying that you have to add money for the breakfast but at least the wiiFii is free. You have to pay for computer usage though. The place is very cramped and the rooms especially. Tour groups come In and there is no place to move. The kitchen is very small. Showers are shared between men and women. There is no separation. The showers seem to be falling apart but there is always warm water and it isn't even "push button" showers.

“Friendly and cosy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

I stayed here through a Macbackpackers tour. The staff were very friendly. The place is clean. Towel rental is only 20p and there is a decent breakfast for only £2. There is a lovely bay window which overlooks the river and old town.
