Ich kann das Braemar Youth Hostel wärmstens empfehlen. Die Lage ist wunderschön und ruhig, was es zum perfekten Ausgangspunkt für alle Outdoor-Aktivitäten in der Umgebung macht. Das Hostel ist sehr sauber, gut gepflegt und bietet eine tolle, entspannte Atmosphäre. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten.

"Clean, comfortable, warm welcome, great amenities"

10.0

We were welcomed by the lovely person at reception very warmly. The whole place was exceptionally clean, and it was hands down the best shower of a hostel! Very handy drying room.

Usual sounds of a hostel (doors, mostly) but other guests were very considerate.

"All you could want from Hostel accommodation and a great stay."

9.0

As a hostel, this place more than fills my needs of a two night stay. For location, it is on the edge of the small village of Braemar and only a 2 minute walk into the centre. Set amongst woodlands it has a nice and quiet feel to it and there was also good parking on site. The staff here are very friendly. The lounge area was very comfortable and decorated to a high standard and an excellent place to chill out in the evening. The kitchen was well fitted out and spacious enough for several guests to prepare meals at the same time while a separate dining area was a great place to take your meals. I stayed in an 8 person male bunk room (4 bunk beds). There was plenty of room around each bunk so as not to feel crowded and sufficient lockable lockers in the room as well as electrical sockets near to each bunk. The bunks were comfortable and I had a good night sleep on both nights of my stay. Shower and toilet facilities were good and it's also nice to have a decent drying room if you've just come in off the hills in our typically changeable Scottish weather. Given the area and the lack of budget accommodation in the surrounds, this really is great value for money. I've stayed many times before and I will be back.

There's not much not to like but the kitchen would definitely benefit from a second microwave oven especially when the kitchen is busy. Bunk lights as in many other YHA Hostels would also be good.
