Amazing location, close to nature. You don’t have to plan as much when you are there, you can just wake up and go hiking, and come back. The only thing that requires a bit of planning is buying food, because the Fort William is about an hour away by walk, and the buses are not always going.
They almost close the whole hostel during the day while they are cleaning. If you have your card you can still get in, but it doesn’t feel as relaxed.

The staff was extremely friendly and supportive. The premises are in pretty good conditions and perfectly clean.
A perfect location to start the climb of Ben Nevis.
some basic things as cooking oil should be available.

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
