Good hostel. Yes the beds do creek a little but the toilets and showers are good and the place is very clean. Didn’t use the common room area but the location to the city and the station is perfect

The rooms are accessible through stairs on the first floor. 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.

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.

2nd time i stay and rhe same like first time, other guests who stayed are very noisy on the corridors, also when they come inside the room or leaving, all of them totally careless. In yhe kitchen even there are signs , they don't follow, left light on, dirty crockery, as well inside the living room and inside the bathrooms. The last time i came Saturda31/05/25, i called in advanced i will check-in 10 pm, nobody at the reception, so i need to call the emergency number to go out to collect my key fob from nearby pub

Very friendly staff, great location, very comfortable mattress. Lighting in the shower/ toilet needs to improve.

Easy check in via the bar. Good kitchen and lounge area. Bedrooms good for sleeping. Only slight negative was grubby kitchen, but as only there for one night not too much of an issue.

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.

This was a fantastic hostel for a quick trip to Inverness. It's right next to the train and bus station and a quick walk to any major things to do/see around the city. Staff are friendly, facilities are very clean and secure. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay!

I’m not sure how this place ever got an 8/10! Only 1 of the 4 toilets in the women’s rest room worked and you had to flush it 3-4 times. At least 2 of the bathroom sinks clogged (slow drain). The showers had no where to put your items while showering, no seats or shelves in the bathroom. All of the doors in the entire place were super heavy and shut very fast, so you could hear doors slamming late at night. The bins under the bed only worked if no one was laying on the bottom bunk. You couldn’t pull out your bin. The mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable. I do not recommend this place until they make some upgrades. It was cheap, so you get what you pay for.

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.

I really enjoyed it and was pretty clean, however the showers were dark and the toilets didn't flush properly.

Good for the price. 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.
