Reception and kitchen on the second floor. For check ins, keys need to be collected from the Black Isle bar which is 100m away from the hostel. I was in a mixed dorm of 4\. Female restrooms can be better maintained. I'm thankful for the staff to let me check in without making payment the first night because there were some issues with my credit card. ##### Aruna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAVID 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A very comfortable stay and value for money.

Rooms were relatively clean and service was very friendly and helpful. Very basic amenities. Room was a little hot and stuffy. Showers were clean and hot, always appreciated. Fantastic location. ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christine 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I am a female travelling solo and was in a room with 5 other make snoring men. They said they'd look after my bags but then got called away from the desk for 2 hours. I wasn't comfortable leaving my stuff unattended. Bathrooms and shower area was gender specific which was nice. My bed too and bottom was very creepy so everytime either myself or guy on the top bunk moved...it was very loud. There was no ventilation so we kept the window open which meant the screaming seagulls and alley arguments also woke me up. Staff were very friendly. I had been in another Hostel and had a much better experience on my stay. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lara 17 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed it and was pretty clean, however the showers were dark and the toilets didn't flush properly. ##### Lara Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hostel was in a great location and the price was great, however it took me by surprise that the 6 bed rooms were coed with both sexes. I did not like that fact, nor all the stairs that had to be climbed. Not the best option for older travelers. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Elsa 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities if you were in rooms under maybe 15 you got to be on the bar side which is cool and has a secret garden. I was not, so just on the regular side. the lounge was good and social, but the kitchen was small and had no oven, just a couple of hot plates. the bathrooms felt like you needed jandals to use the showers but otherwise all good. the number they put up to call if you needed to drop off luggage didn't work until. you tried without the area code which locals might know but tourists didn't, but figured it out ##### Elsa Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Fine for one night and only one night Didn’t expect much for the price beyond a place to sleep/eat/shower for a couple nights. The day I got there, 3 of the 4 toilets in the female restroom were clogged beyond use and the other had no toilet paper. This was early afternoon when staff were first alerted. The next day, all 4 toilets were completely clogged and could not be used at all. Staff were again informed of this. I had to leave early the next morning and they were still clogged. You literally could not use the toilets. The bed itself was fine, as well as the room. The common areas were not the cleanest, and the entire place could do with a good clean. Would not recommend for more than a single night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort Check in process & customer service all excellent.
