My friend and I weren't expecting much from this hostel but when we arrived we were greeted by really friendly staff who helped us out heaps during our stay! We got our rooms upgraded and were able to use the managers own laptop to watch movies and tv shows. The bathrooms were really clean as were the rooms. The location... More

This hostel has recently been decorated and looks very modern and clean cut. The location is right opposite the town house in the middle of city, which meant we were one minute walk away from both the bus and train stations which meant trips to loch ness and further a field was very easy. The staff were friendly nice and... More

My 4 friends and I came to the hostel on the 3rd of March, expecting the worst hostel. Walk in and go upstairs and nice man greets us. We ask to see the hostel first of course, so we get a tour of the hostel. SPOTLESS bathrooms, SPOTLESS rooms, and generally a nice smell. Had late nights out and about,... More

Stayed at this hostel on the night of Wednesday 19th October 2011. Awoken in the middle of the night by some druggie who had wandered in of the street and was going through my rucksack. Apparently this happens often (according to the staff), druggies/neds/chavs/bogans will get hold of the door codes and just wander in and help themselves to your... More

A large group of us headed for a weekend in Inverness last month so we all agreed to stay in this dive for two nights. We'd booked X 2 large dorms, neither of which had been cleaned before our arrival. We'd not long been in our rooms when the ignorant knuckle-head who checked us in, let himself into our room... More

At 10 am,... More
