"Deux nuits dans les CairnGorm pour grimper jusqu'au Ben MacDui"

9.0

vraiment très bien je rappelle que c'est une auberge de jeunesse de type "refuge de montagne" donc forcément les équipements et le coucher en dortoir sont rustiques, mais l'expérience a été très bonne, les lits étaient bons et surtout le personnel très, très aimable.

les midges !

"Beautiful hostel beautiful location"

9.0

Comfortable rooms, really nice lounge, dinning area, good drying room, good kitchen although not as big as I would have expected for the size of hostel but it wasn't too busy when I was there. Great location right next to the bus stop with regular buses from Aviemore and 7 mins walk from loch morlich. I'd stay again

It could feel more welcoming. The check in time is very late and there are no staff around most of the time. In fact it is possible to arrive before check in and leave luggage but this information is not given without asking and it would be nicer if it were informed as a matter of course. Also didn't see any information about walk in the area. A weather forecast etc which is usual for hostels in hiking areas. It is near the visitor center but the visitor center was closed so it was lucky I got maps and info in Aviemore before I arrived.

"Good value stay in lovely location."

9.0

The hostel is in the perfect location for what I needed. The rooms are spacious, clean and warm. The bathrooms seemed newly redone, are clean and the showers are excellent. It has good facilities (kitchen, drying room, washing machines...). The common room is nice and cosy, with lovely views. Free parking. Very dog friendly (dogs are allowed everywhere except the kitchen).

The food served for dinner wasn't great (I didn't try the breakfast). The beds were quite uncomfortable.
