Cute, backpackers' lodge, lovely staff.

The staff were extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. It was also lovely to meet and chat with some fellow explorers and meet people from all over. The views were also incredible. Saw a beautiful sunrise from our room.

Fellow occupants returning to the room very late and forgetting the room key when using the bathroom.

7.0 / 10.0

characterful place that did the job but could’ve been a bit slicker

Quirky property with an amazing view, hot showers with great water pressure

Hostel room was cramped with no room for bags Slightly strange vibe to the house, in dire need of a refresh/lick of paint, bathrooms were very wet and only two showers for many rooms

Great base in Fort William

I had a car park, there were adequate bathroom and kitchen facilities. Comfy bed and enough heating. Free wifi, chill out rooms with comfy chairs and a nice view all around the place.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and bathrooms did put me off but for a hostel it suffices. Just maybe a little cleaner.

5.0 / 10.0

Overall good value for money

Appropriate facilities / teas / coffee/ breakfast/ outlook/ helpful staff

As a driver parking was very limited on site and limited options close by. Whilst clean rooms are tired.

Very accommodating, polite and a comfy couple of nights sleep. Would definitely reccomend!

5.0 / 10.0

I wouldn’t stay here again.

The staff were lovely and the location is relatively central.

It was run down and not maintained to a general standard. There was mould in the corner of my bed (room 6), the bathrooms were literally falling apart and the sheets were ripped.

8.0 / 10.0

Other than a crowded room (to be expected!), I had a very pleasant stay. Friendly staff add a lot!

Friendly staff, breakfast available

Female room was crowded with 10 beds and lots of wet clothes...

The Bunk house good place to stay a hiker

It is a bunk house, so if you want basic place to saty at a reasonable price then it is good.Also good location to walk into town or catch the train

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

Thankfully I wasnt sleeping here, i just used it as a base on my arrival in Fort William until I set off at midnight to climb Ben Nevis. I did go back in the morning to freshen up before my trip home The house in its former days must have been lovely but it is very very tired and needs some investment. I know it is budget accommodation but that is no excuse

8.0 / 10.0

Comfortable, friendly hostel - perfect budget location for exploring Fort William and surrounds

Friendly, helpful, kind staff. Good kitchen and separate dining room overlooking the garden. Amazing views of Fort William from the living room which had high ceilings, comfy couches, a guitar and relaxing atmosphere. This is a period house and would have belonged to a wealthy owner - now it's quite shabby, but comfortable with good Wi-Fi, free parking for six cars and the perfect spot to explore the area. The hostel is up a steep hill, but only a short walk to town and the boat trips etc. Was filled with walkers, adventurers, cyclists. Our bedroom of four bunks had a small bathroom with shower, sink and toilet - nothing special, but fine for the price and location. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their stay.

Nice stay but limited toilet and no towels

Affordable hostel for a one-night stay in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The view, location and overall ambiance were lovely!

No towels were provided and there was only one shared toilet on the ground floor. Fortunately, it wasn’t a big issue for us since we woke up early and didn’t have to queue. Still, it would’ve been better with a bit more privacy or additional facilities.

7.0 / 10.0

Fab staff ✅comfy bed ✅cold shower☹️

Location was great! Delighted I was on the ground floor after running the WHW 😂 Staff were really welcoming and helpful at check in.

Really small showers with limited changing space and having to have a cold shower on arrival as there was no hot water was really disappointing (and I absolutely had to shower!!) I do appreciate this may have been a one off.

10.0 / 10.0

Good Value

For what you pay, Backpackers is excellent. It is close to the town and main transport links. It is dorm accommodation but the beds are comfortable and bedding adequate. Washing facilities are convenient. There is a living room to relax in and a kitchen to self cater and a dining room with basic breakfast provided if needed..

Happy wanderers

if you like cleansing stay away from backpackers hostel fort william this place is the absolute pits tried it for the first time with three friends as we finished the WHW booked in 9th to 11th April 2025 but what a disappointment it's absolutely down right dirty they ask you strip your bed on leaving which is fair enough but to my horror my quilt was blood sweat and urine stained pillows badly stained as where my friends aswell and the pungent smell all around the entire house is disgusting carpets badly stained decor very dirty mattresses badly stained kitchen dirty most electric fuse boxes wires badly dangerously exposed this place needs an entire rip out and start again or bulldozed

Lovely friendly hostel, great location & value for money

Gorgeous hostel with stunning views in a beautiful victorian building. Super friendly staff, great facilities in kitchen and shared spaces. Wifi good. 7 min walk from train station (albeit up a steep hill - but this is Fort William!) Large comfy living room. Plenty of places to charge phones etc. Easy to leave luggage before and after check out/in. Excellent value basic continental breaky for £3.50. Free tea and coffee. Top bunks fixed to walls so no rocking each other when you move in the night.

Mattress was pretty tired, my hips complained! (I'm 55yrs old!) 37 beds and 4 toilets/showers meant queues at busy times and we didnt bother trying to cook dinner although everyone was pretty respectful and didn't take ages. It just bottle necked at 6pm-8pm and 6am-8am. Bunks didn't have curtains or reading lights but I'm just being super honest and picky to give others an honest review. It's a great budget hostel and I'd definitely stay again.

Cakes will get you anywhere

Vanessa is - luckily for guests like me - a bit of an. Insomniac and then bakes! Her cakes were absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed connecting to other guests over these cakes and chats. Plus, this time I got a bottom bunk which was appreciated.

Nothing springs to mind.

Comfy beds in a nice spot in Fort William.

Good location. Beautiful view. Kitchen and bathrooms were very well cleaned by the staff. The beds were very comfortable.

It was very noisy in the room on the ground floor, both from the reception area in the evening and also from the rooms on the first floor.

8.0 / 10.0

Ideal for my grandson and me as we needed a night's stay before and after our trip due to travel .

Excellent location, the staff went out of their way to make sure we were ok and knew how things worked. We arrived back from a few days of cold wet wild camping and kayaking well before check in time yet were allowed to shower and make tea and the use of the lounge. QAll very much appreciated.

I really don't think much could be improved. If you start "doing up" the place then the cost of a stasy would rise and that's not what it's about. Warmth , comfort and friendly staff that's whar's wanted.

7.0 / 10.0

A great location pity about the roommate with the untreated sleep apnoea symptoms.

Easy check in and very friendly & accommodating staff. Great location and a well equipped kitchen. Showers were super powerful and an early checkout was very useful.

Rooms were very very very warm & top bunk beds had no sides on them which was a bit precarious. Not loads of space in the kitchen.

Perfect place to stay after finishing the WHW - comfy, clean and well located

The rooms were spacious and clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful, the location was perfect

An earlier check in would have been nice, 5pm is very late

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect way to experience Fort William for a very reasonable price.

Very pleasant staff, really kind and inviting. Location could not have been better, 10 minute walk from the train/bus station and a 20 min walk from the start of the Ben Nevis trail, had everything I needed including showers, a kitchen and most importantly a kettle! Would and probably will go again in the future and I think you should too.

No quarms.

8.0 / 10.0

Emergency stay due to inclement weather. Hospitality 5*

The staff were very welcoming and gave me all information I needed. Free access to hot drinks and milk was a bonus, kitchen was clean. Located up a hill off the main road in quiet area, a walk to the main town took 5 minutes.

The bathroom I used could do with replacing broken fixtures.
