The Bazpackers Hostel in Inverness is a warm and well placed to spend time in Inverness. It is a few blocks away from the busiest part of the city which is great - not far to go to find action, but far enough away not to be bothered by traffic and other noisy things! There is plenty to do and... More

My partner and I stopped at Bazpackers for three nights - in a double room. When we arrived we were taken to another entrance to the building, so my review only covers this and not the dorms/common area of the main hostel. First, we were taken into a long corridor that seem damp and stuffy but then we went up... More

very basic.... It is a hostel, not the worst not the best in standards in everyway shape and form but very very good priced for a bed , wash and facilities. Staff are nice and have plenty of stories which is good when your having a few brewkies. overall if your backpacking id give it a stop. Adam More

since Inverness is not a big town, walk from train or coach station to this place won't cost more than 10 mins. compact but functional communal space, free tea and coffee are available, you can brew yourself a cup of tea and lay on the comfy couch with books or just doing nothing, lovely experience.

It's a bit of a walk from the bus and train station, but it's not too bad and Inverness is a lovely place to walk anyway. I think Mike is a great host, but I think the hostel is a little run down. It's definitely a hostel so I guess you get what you pay for. It is very small,... More

My husband and I were in the private double room #6 for one night (Saturday). There is a private bathroom with shower upstairs and a shared bathroom on the ground floor. The upstairs bathroom was convenient when available and the ground floor bathroom was always available. The bed was very comfortable and the room was good sized. All linens, including... More

I have used Bazpackers Hostel as a base for exploring Inverness and the surrounding area on a number of occasions and always find it to be welcoming and friendly. Returned in November 2011 for two nights and was not disappointed. Received a warm welcome from Mike who showed me round before booking me in to a six-bed dorm room at... More

This hostel is nothing special. iI's exactly as you can expect from a hostel: Shared room, shared bathroom, shared kitchen. The location is good, the staff is nice, the kitchen is reasonably well equipped. The bad thing is: You cannot lock your door and the bathroom is absolutely freezing! Other than that I had no complaints, it was clean and... More

Stayed in the co-ed dorm room with my boyfriend. It is a rather tiny room in which 6 people sleep. This resulted in the room being very smelly and stuffy by morning. The staff were very nice and helpful, the place was clean, and the common space was lovely. The fire was warm and there is a nice area for... More

Heard about Inverness with very good B&Bs, but opted out for the Bazpackers instead, for the flexibility of schedule in lieu of breakast, and very glad we did, or we wouldn't see Inverness the same. Located not far from train station & bus station, ~5-7min walk, but the highlight is: It is almost right in front of the Inverness Castle,... More
