Staff were super friendly, hostel was clean and I loved the pod bathrooms. They were very spacious compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in. Overall a comfortable getaway!

The doors to enter the dorm do not have a handle from the inside which meant that there was no way to stop the door from slamming

"A really enjoyable, memorable stay. Would go again without hesitation."

9.0

The Hostel was a very effective and cost effective and comfortable place to stay for our trip to the Cairngorms. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We were walking, swimming, climbing and bimbling about and its was just the place for the family to base. We really enjoyed. It had the full facilities required.

Nothing.

"Lieu de départ idéal pour visiter le Cairngorms National Park"

8.0

L'auberge de jeunesse se trouve à proximité du Loch Morlich, du visitor center, du refuge pour rennes et surtout du Pine Martin Bar. La chambre où nous avons séjourné était suffisamment équipée et les salles de bains étaient propres. Le personnel était accueillant et chaleureux.

La luminosité de la chambre où nous avons séjourner pourrait être amélioré.
