La struttura è molto bella. La cucina grande e fornitissima. Caffè e tè gratuiti e sempre a disposizione. L'area comune è molto accogliente con dei divani comodissimi! C'è anche una stanza per far asciugare gli indumenti! Super comoda Entrando in struttura ti chiedono di togliere le scarpe, sembra una scocciatura ma in realtà è molto funzionante! Grazie dello splendido soggiorno

Le prese sono tutte lontane dai letti :( e nella stanza c'era una luce verde per segnalare l'uscita di emergenza che illuminava la camera tutta la notte

"A real highland gem."

10.0

It's been many years since Ive stayed in a histel and i was a little apprehensive about booking. I needn't ha e worried as the hostel was exceptional - better than some hotels I've visited. The lounge was spacious with several comfortable sofas and the kitchen was well appointed with fridges and freezers for those staying longer and self-catering. Complimentary tea and coffee was also available. My double bedroom was large and comfortable and all you'd need for a night or two. The hostel is just on the outskirts of Braemar but easily withing walking distance of the amenities on offer. It is also an excellent location for anyone wishing to explore the remoteness and beauty of the Scottish Mountains. Janick and Harrison were great hosts and were welcoming and friendly. They keep the place in the best of order. 10/10.
