This Youth Hostel is in a great location with lovely views. The place is kept clean and tidy. Showers and toilets are shared and kept clean. Facilities in the kitchen were very good, but the electric hob was a bit dated and took a while to heat up. It is much cheaper than hotels and you easily meet and mix with other Youth Hostel guests which makes for a great experience and plenty of conversation.

The restaurant was clean and serves breakfast and evening meal. We only had the evening meal and the fish and chips were not that good as they were overcooked. The pudding we got was pretty small too, so I would advise making your own meal or there are some other eating places just over the road.

The dorm rooms were a good size with space for your belongings. There was a drawer under the bed you could use as a locker and a charging point, light and shelf at the head of the bed. The kitchen was well equipped with a good sized dining area. Great location for hiking and near to Loch Morlich.

Auberge situee dans un cadre magnifique. Proche des randonnées dans le parc naturel des Cairngorms. Nous ont permis de nous garer dans leur parking quelques heure avant notre arrivée de sorte à pour voir partir faire une rando. Dispise d'un restaurant avec quelques plats. Salles de bain (Cabines de douches+lavabos) très bien.

Peu d'informations de la part du personnel ou informations erronées (e.g Scottish breakfast). Espaces communs assez froids (température et ambiance). La cuisine était sale (vaisselle sale, essuies sales, odeur désagréable). Deux lits de notre chambre (chambre de 3 personnes) ont besoin d'être réparés. Lits inconfortables et oreillers vraiment très durs. Vue sur les poubelles à l'arrière de l'auberge. Chambre de 3 chère pour la qualité. L'auberge est située dans un cadre magnifique mais ne parvient pas à être cosy..

"A lovely and comfortable stay, will definitely be back."

10.0

I liked the private shower rooms, very clean and tidy. I liked the wee restaurant and the fact there was a designated bike shed.

Squeeky floors and loud doors 😉 I always get up at night to go to the loo and feel bad for the girls in the room as it's near to impossible do do it quietly.

Emplacement sympa, proche de la plage et de plusieurs randonnées. L'établissement propose une offre de restauration.

Les serviettes sont payantes contrairement à ce qui est indiqué. Les pommeaux de douches sont au plafond et sans pression.

Chambre familiale 6personnes propre, la plupart du personnel etaient gentils

Certaines poêles de la cuisine mériteraient d'être remplacée. Il manque des poubelles ou corbeille papier dans les chambres.
