Clean, beautiful surroundings, humongous kitchen and dinning areas, nice people!
Sharon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent youth hostel with really friendly staff - Thomas and Freya were brilliant! Great amenities: Comfortable rooms and really clean showers and toilets. Nice cosy lounge, Great kitchen and dining area. Laundry facilities (£5) and great drying room. Snacks and drinks for sale. Parking and a few seating areas outside. Stunning location. Pub about 20 minutes walk away. Would definitely stay there again!

Quiet location in Glencoe

Stayed here for a night in Glencoe before heading south...the check in was excellent and informative, the room was cozy and located right across from the showers, bathrooms were clean. Appreciated the wifi and location very much.

Perfect spot for venturing out into the hills of Glencoe

8/10 Very good

Great venue, very limited parking. Kind of remote but good for access to different hiking locations. Huge kitchen and lounge area.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff! The facility has clean common areas and washrooms, since they’re cleaned everyday. Kitchen is great. It’s too bad the hostel is mostly closed during the cleaning hours (no room and kitchen access) but then again you don’t come to Glencoe to stay inside :) They should fix the faucets and hand dryers in the washrooms since they don’t all work properly. Its nice that they have coffee and tea available all day. I’d recommend jt and would stay here again
Natasha, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed 4 nights in a private room. Overall, the hostel is spacious, clean, comfortable, and friendly. However, we did find the room really hot without much airflow. My only other complaint is that two nights we experienced issues with drunk adults. One of the adults was working the desk a few days later, which is not appropriate. These disturbances were not handled by the staff, which was unfortunate, as it disturbed the evening for all guests.
Deanna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Missed first due to flight, paid for hotel for third night, very uncomfotable beds, very hot windows barely open. Not that clean, expected rustic but not this bad. Lost a lot of money due to conditions.

Chambre a l exterieur dans un tonneau bien agencé. Lit un peu petit quand on a l habitude de plus grand. Soucis parking plus de place a 19h garé sur une petite route

Spartan but clean and great location. Excellent advice from staff. Nice kitchen space. Showers need some hooks or shelves for personal effects.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Elle. Breakfast was good. I enjoyed the surrounding area. The dryer room was a great thing especially for people like me who enjoy hiking

Je ne conseille pas

Dans un cadre magnifique, hôtel vieillot, une literie bonne à jeter ! Très cher pour le service proposé. 1 seule douche/WC commune à l'étage pour les femme... Grande cuisine salle à manger commune, avec frigo pour conserver sa nourriture : Intéressant pour ceux qui veulent économiser sur les repas et se faire la cuisine.

Die Küche war neu. Die Matratzen des Zimmers 6 waren allerdings so schlecht und abgenutzt das man jede Feder gespürt hat. Absolut inakzeptabel
