Inverness Hostellit

Plussat: Kitchen was well equipped and had all the things for making a good breakfast to start your day

Miinukset: Condition of the bathroom was really poor, no shower gel or shampoo were provided

Plussat: Everything perfect short but sweet visit. Well looked after and run welcoming to all

Miinukset: Double bed should have been provided for couple instead of 3 single beds

Plussat: The room is really lovely. The bathroom is very clean.

Miinukset: A bit difficult to find the property. Could have a clearer sign.

Plussat: Spacious, clean, parking space

Plussat: we made our own

Plussat: Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: I didn't know that breakfast was included even I asked after booking. No shampoo/bath were in, it could have been better if they were.

Plussat: The place is pretty close to the centre. Everything was clean and tidy. Breakfast was amazing!!

Plussat: Big car park. Kitchen also big with lots of equipment for cooking or making breakfast. The garden would be nice if cleaner.

Miinukset: Big bathroom but with no boards or shelfs to place stuff on. The bathroom would need a renovation. One towel had a big stain on it. There were not enough places to sit for breakfast/dinner in the kitchen. There was chaos around the house (old car with broken washing-machine in the backyard,... ). The hostel is located outside of the city but in walking distance. There is no store around.

Plussat: Henkilökunta ja sijainti

Miinukset: Suihku pieni

Plussat: Breakfast - you prepare and cook yourself BUT all things (cerials, milk, tea, bread, butter, jam...) were provided by hostel Host was super friendly and helpfull

Miinukset: distance to town center

Plussat: Sisäänkirjautuminen hyvin vaivatonta, huone tilava ja siisti.

Miinukset: Huono äänieristys, meteliä kantautui alakerrasta. Sängyt hieman epämukavat.

Plussat: The most comfortable bed on this three week trip! Great location. Relaxing stay. Nice big shower.

Plussat: The best thing is the location, really near Loch Ness and with amazing views.

Miinukset: It wasn’t very comfortable, the mattresses were harder than the floor.

Plussat: Wonderful place to stay; loved the cabin/pod and having a pub & post office in walking distance was great!

Plussat: Property superviser is very helpful and kind. She was helping us in all means. She is always available. Kitchen is big with enough utensils.

Miinukset: Room was just too cosy. 2 ppl can't even walk at the same time. Property description and picture doesn't give you enough detailed about it. I was there with my 2 kids and they didn't find space to play. You can't even sit in the room as there is no space and provided with just 1 chair. If you want to go straight to bed then its fit for you. Kitchen is outside so you have to carry your stuff all the time.

Plussat: Very clean and friendly staff.

Miinukset: No easy access to Loch Ness, but there are nice hiking trails nearby.

Plussat: Good location in heart of village. Room was small but serviceable. Good WiFi and TV in room was appreciated by the kids.

Miinukset: Could do with a refresh: bathroom mouldy, curtains and carpets stained. Hygiene in kitchen needs to be improved: tea towels damp and mucky looking, no system for managing fridge contents (there was a congealed bowl of pasta for our whole stay), chopping boards stained. No recycling facilities.

Plussat: Clean and nice, full kitchen facilities

Plussat: Placed in the middle of small town, parking at backyard. Seemed to us new, kitchen fully equipped, very spacious bathroom, very clean. We were really nicely surprised, Recommended!

Miinukset: Only thing we missed were hooks to hang our things. In room and bathroom. Small detail, but we didn't have place to hang jackets or towels.

Plussat: The owner was lovely and so knowledgeable for things to do and walks in the area, we stayed in cabin 3 (green) and it was lovely inside and had a great seating area outside where we could sit at night with a cuppa watching the beautiful sunset, we will definitely be back.

Miinukset: The only downside was my stay was not longer.

Plussat: The room was a separate, little home. Really cozy and all we were looking for. Car was parked right in front. Really good.

Miinukset: It was very unclear what our breakfast was. There was a lot of stuff, but several guests had just stored their own food. It felt a little like a student dorm

Plussat: It is better than I expected, unlike the negative reviews I had read on booking.com. The location is absolutely fabulous, being next to the bus station and close to the train station. A hugh supermarket is just opposite. The kitchen was well equipped and coffee/tea/milk are on the house. The manager and his assistant were great, very helpful, understanding, kind. The bathrooms and toilets are relatively clean. The manager made available for me to use a mountain bicycle for free. It's raining all the time and you'd get soaked. The manager provided radiators to help dry our clothes/shoes could be dried. The service here is just great. Should I visit Inverness again I would certainly stay here again.

Miinukset: The lockers in the room were not only small but broken (not the fault of the manager or his assistants, of course). More hooks to hang our clothes would have been helpful. Bars/hangers to hang the towels would also be welcomed.

Plussat: Some said the toilet is dirty: I don't think so, it is very well cleaned. The location is the best: next to the main bus station and all the bars at night, so feel free to go anywhere.

Miinukset: The kitchen will be closed so soon (10pm) so late nigh drinkers could not get warm snacks midnight

Plussat: I liked the fact I only had to stay here for one night. They also have a guitar and piano.

Miinukset: I have not stayed in such disappointing accommodation in a very long time. The hostel is simply disgusting, unclean and in a shocking state of disrepair. The flooring has gaps that probably house all manner of "things". The window frame in our room had rotted away so much the window could not be closed at all. There are stains on walls and ceiling, as well as holes and screws sticking out dangerously. The bedding was clearly not fresh at all, full of hairs and smelled like at least two other people had slept in it. It made my skin crawl. Also, the kitchen is not only closed until 8 AM (!!!!), it is also locked, meaning that if you want to make an early start, there is no way to have breakfast, or indeed get your groceries out of the fridge, or even have a drink of water (this was particularly detrimental for me as I needed to take medication to a precisely timed schedule and did not trust the water in the bathrooms at all). The kitchen is also clearly not looked after at all. The cupboards are all full of rotting food. I opened one and a cloud of mould wafted in my face. I tried another and found an uncovered, half-eaten curry that smelled so bad I retched. Absolutely horrendous. There is also no one you can ask for help as the staff sleep in until 8. On top of it all, the charge a fairly steep price when you look at what you get. This place is only worth half of what I paid, max. Usually, you get what you pay for, but here, you just pay into some greedy landlord's pocket.

Plussat: Location was great for walking to shops, restraints and bars.

Miinukset: Decor needs updated, no free parking.

Plussat: Good vibes. Everything you need is there. Friendly staff. Donald is awesome. Be nice to him. It's clean enough but if you're expecting perfection at that price, get real. Definitely good for the money. I had 2 nights of good sleep and was happy inbetween.

Miinukset: The kitchen doesn't open until 8am which annoys me but I understand why the policy is there. Just be prepared to go to a cafe if you're a morning person like me.

Plussat: It had all the facilities you would expect from a budget hostel ...the staff were very nice and the location was great.

Miinukset: The beds were very creaky, so every movement, no matter how slight could be heard by everyone in the room!

Plussat: The hostel is really close to the station and centre. It was clean, and there was hot water for the shower and the heater was on, so the place was warm.

Miinukset: The window in the room was broken , so it wasn't been possible close

Plussat: Central location near bus station. Hostel manager overworked but very careful with everyone and helpful. Hostel infrastructure needs updating.

Miinukset: Very old bed linen and squashed kitchen and dorms. Lots of people but not many toilets or shower rooms. Up several flights of stairs on entry.

Plussat: Sänky oli sopivan pehmeä nukkua.

Miinukset: Kerros-sängyt oli laitettu liian pieneen huoneeseen, en mahtunut käyttämään rappusia yläsänkyyn. Toinen sänky oli edessä... Suihkusta tuli haaleaa vettä. Keittiö, jossa pystyi laittamaan iltapalaa/aamupalaa avautui vasta klo 8 aamulla (liian myöhään) ja sulkeutui 22.30. Ei ollut tarpeeksi astioita.

Plussat: Nice basic hostel with comfortable common room.

Miinukset: Slightly worn, especially the showers.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff, location and value for money
