Magic

Pros: This is the place where you can open the door from your room the next morning to experience the Magic of Loch Ness … Feeling at home here is so easy… To name some of the performers of such a great theatre of joy… Don Rob, Joe, King Arthur, Pedri, Everton, Archi and the beautiful Alicia da Vinci… Gracias Totales !!

Cons: What ?

Lemon 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Atmosphere, very unusual. A lot of staff, very friendly. Location is amazing and we did a triangle trekking route with the view over the lake, was worth walking 12k! Clean bedding.

Cons: Spiders in the room. Not all bed lights were working. In need of modernising a bit.

Lovely location with very friendly and welcoming staff

Pros: This is a superb location, right on the shores of Loch Ness. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The room and beds were clean and comfortable and the kitchen and lounge area were large and welcoming and lots of activities to join in with. We really enjoyed the terrace area and walking to the little beach by the shore, it was beautiful. Shop available too, and breakfast available for an extra small cost. A great hostel to stay in along the GGW.

Pros: The location is great, the amenities are great, the kitchen is excellent, and the infrastructure is excellent. The only exceptions are that the bedding wasn't changed and the shower was dirty. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Would go back to Scotland just to stay here again!

Pros: Absolutely great, would go back to Scotland just to spend more time there! Great location along the lake, friendly staff, fantastic common area, spacious kitchen. Honestly can't recomment it enough, as far as accomodation goes it was the absolute highlight of our trip.

Cons: A few extra showers/toilets would come in handy.

A great base to explore the highlands. I booked for one night and stayed for three.

Pros: The hostel location, on the shores of Loch Ness, is nothing short of spectacular. My room had a view of the lake. The kitchen is clean and spacious. Free tea and coffee on hand too! The rooms were cosy and clean. Staff were friendly and the vibe was very relaxed and fun. The morning swims in the lake were a highlight.

Cons: N/A
