Gorgeous location right by the river and beautiful, clean facility with really nice bathrooms and large bunk rooms. I was thankful for a large open window for fresh air. The kitchen is large with everything you'll need. The trail to summit Ben Nevis is right across the road. Perfect!!
Just be prepared with groceries before you come... It's a long walk from town. There is a bus but it is infrequent.

A fab hostel in a great location. Great size dorm, plenty of space. Good touch with the electrical points and bed light next to each bunk. Like the private shower pods too. Great kitchen and communal sitting areas. Just wish I had more time there to enjoy it.

A beautiful hostel in a beautiful location, fantastic.
Travellers packing or un packing rucksacks at 3.00am, then dragging them all around the floor. (30 minutes or so) A very disturbed nights sleep. We were in the room below.
One member of staff showed little sympathy, she said people can snore very loud. Hostels usually have laminate or wooden floors, walking up and down in the middle of the night, packing or in packing on floors creates quite a lot of noise.

Close to Ben Nevis and other walks
Clean
Good kitchen, plenty of tables and chairs for sitting and eating
Upstairs toilets had a constantly bad smell, was sickening.
Kitchen signed closed 10-12 for cleaning but staff told people it was closed from 1000-1400.
Slow check-in
