Easy to find, warm, comfortable, very handy drying room.

Noisy and difficult to keep clean (not the fault of the staff just the residents).

Nice facilities including a large kitchen, a dining room with plenty of space, a comfortable seating area, a drying room, etc. Free food shelf in the kitchen. Hot water in the shower. Good location just a 10 minute walk from the bus stop and train station. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and supermarkets. Staff were nice. Most affordable place in Aviemore as far as I could tell.

No ventilation in the dorm so it smelled quite bad and was stuffy. Only two lockers in a 6-bed dorm so most people had nowhere to leave their valuables. Also no sockets by the beds particularly if you were in a top bunk so you couldn't charge your phone overnight. Showers were not the cleanest and were full of other people's hair.
