Guest Reviews

Jolanda Barbara (8/5): - Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Dusche und WC, das fanden wir für ein Hostel sehr gut. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht und die Ausstattung im ganzen Gebäude war top.

Diana Hanford (9/5): Great views of Ben Nevis from a great youth hostel. - Friendly, clean, cosy, lots of room in the dining room and lounge. Fantastic views from large windows. Light and airy. Good value breakfast. There was nothing we didn't like but the shower head sprayed over the edge of the panel so the floor got quite wet. The bathroom needed an extractor fan to help with condensation.

Annette (6/5): - Relativt bra standard. Rymligt rum. Bra säng, sängkläder. Jag fick inte hjälp med att ordna taxi på morgonen. Kvällen innan hade kvinnan i receptionen sagt att det är bara att komma dit kl.7, så kan de hjälpa till. Kvinnan på morgonen var inte så hjälpsam.
Susana (8/5): Value for Money - As funcionalidades. Tem uma cozinha comunitária e um espaço onde se pode tomar o PA que preparamos Nada em especial. É um conceito prático, desprendido e sem luxos.
Mahalakshmi (9/5): -
DANIELA (10/5): - O lugar é bonito, aconchegante, boas camas nos quartos, chave eletrônica e banheiro interno. Tem a opção de café da manhã, com preço justo. A área externa, onde estão localizados é linda e tem estacionamento. Não foi um problema, mas fica longe da área mais central, exigindo meios de locomoção próprios.
JT (8/5): Perfect for a quick night before the hike up Ben Nevis - Excellent location and price You can't access your stored luggage between 10 & 3 on day of check out
Duncan (10/5): -
Stephen (10/5): Great stay, thanks for helping to make it so. - Location, friendly staff and excellent facilities Beautifully renovated to a high standard
Binnewies (8/5): -
Thomas (7/5): - Betten waren nicht bequem.
Fiona (9/5): Great, good position and comfortable. - Lovely place just off the West Highland Way. Our room was great and all the facilities. Packed lunch not so good but you don’t have to have it.
Lotte (10/5): Great place outside Fort William. The nature and hiking trails are just outside the door. Everybody was very friendly - Great spot for hiking Ben Nevis and super friendly staff.
Julia (8/5): -
Carole (8/5): - Superb location for accessing Ben Nevis, with views out onto this and surrounding mountains. Well equipped kitchen and lots of seating for eating. Good restaurant practically next door and also the Ben Nevis Inn a short walk away up the mountain. Some chairs for relaxing in but not really enough for the size of the hostel. No information provided on the local bus service timetable and I found this hard to work out. The staff didn't seem to know much about it either. This added to the cost of the stay and detracted from my enjoyment, as I didn't have a car, and needed to make use of taxis (£10 a time one way) or slog back from town on foot carrying shopping.

Nico (9/5): - Perfekte Lage um eine Wanderung auf dem Ben Nevis zu starten. Nichts
Christoforos (9/5): - The location was outstanding! The noise isolation can be improved
Carly (6/5): Basic - The room was clean, the shower hot and there was plenty of kitchen facilities. Check in started 15mins late even though it’s from 4pm, young staff chit chatting and swearing, the fact you cannot use the laundry facilities until after 4pm everyday.
Mette (4/5): - Beliggenhed. Vi rejste 5 sammen og de havde sat os i forskellige værelser.
Sarkar (10/5): -
eddy (8/5): - La localisation et le prix Un peu bruyant
Petra (9/5): Glen Nevis Youth Hostel war- wie bisher alle ScotHostels - einfach super! -
Shane (9/5): -
Deva-Summa (9/5): - New build and very well equipped. The 4pm checkin rule is crazy with staff overwhealmed. Very annoying and antiquated system. Beds in the dormitary had poor quality mattresses.
Maryline (10/5): Très bien pour une nuit - Le calme , la vue, c’est une auberge de jeunesse donc ne pas s’attendre à une chambre extraordinaire mais c’était propre et la cuisine commune au top nous avons pu nous préparer à manger et utiliser les équipements Place de parking Il fait froid 😉😂
Sean (10/5): -
Samuele (8/5): - Posizione della struttura perfetta sotto la montagna, personale gentile e sempre disponibile, ricca di comodità( cucina, bagni, salotto).
George (8/5): - People&dorm not bad. Good set of company, no issues from noise etc..... Showers slightly unclean due to siege, shower mats are never Gona work unless U have your own unfortunately.
Lidia (10/5): Przytulny i wygodny hostel we wspaniałej lokalizacji. - Wspaniała lokalizacja, przytulna część wspólna i świetnie wyposażona kuchnia, czysty i wygodny pokój iraz przemiła obsługa. Polecam. Nie było takich rzeczy.
Emeline (10/5): Très bien ! - Une superbe auberge de jeunesse, nous avons pris une chambre double individuelle, top ! Très propre. Petit mais fonctionnel et très proche du Ben Nevis, le départ se fait au pied de l'hôtel.

Daphne (9/5): Geweldig - Locatie. Zeer nette keuken met alle faciliteiten die nodig zijn om te koken. Niets.
Roy (10/5): - This youth hostel is in very good condition, modern interior and great views of Ben Nevis. Ideal base for walking the area. Friendly staff. Nothing
kim (10/5): - Fantastic location Clean and well furnished Nothing
Robert (8/5): -
Tiago (9/5): -
carole (10/5): - Everything. Location, staff and cleanliness. Nothing
Ian (10/5): - Everything
Lynda (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed it but found the price excessive. - After 60 years as an active member and volunteer manager with YHA I was shocked at the price. By way of comparison, I am soon to go on a cycle tour with a friend, staying 4 nights in a private room at Stratford YH, where the cost is around £180. Our one night at Ben Nevis YH cost just over £100; food for thought.

Diane GOBIN-DAVID (10/5): - C'était super propre, un cadre magnifique, très confortable. Parfait ! Rien à dire
Jennifer (8/5): Beautiful location and friendly staff - We’ve stayed here many times in the past and always had a great stay. Beautiful location and accommodation and always a lovely atmosphere . Staff are lovely and always interested in what you’re visiting for. We had a group next door with young kids ranging from primary school to secondary school age and it appears the walls are pretty thin. It wasn’t overly disruptive but something to note if you’re planning on staying awake till 1am in the morning. Please remember that some guests are up early for outdoor activities.
Karine (6/5): - Beaucoup de bruits durant la nuit: des gens parlant très fort dehors, dans les couloirs et dans la chambre d'à côté...

Susan (9/5): Great time, kitchen facilities very convenient, Ben Nevis view excellent. enjoyed your meals was fantastic. - The very best location, lots of energy as people were finishing the long walk (WHW) and were preparing to ascend Ben Nevis. Shared bathroom was constantly damp and felt unsanitary. .

Jaap (9/5): Het was erg netjes en schoon in het hostel. - Personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De prijs voor een 4-persoonskamer is wat aan de hoge kant voor een Youth Hostel.

Vanessa (7/5): Perfekt um an Ben Nevis und im Tal wandern zu gehen - Die Lage, direkt am Ben Nevis. Vor der Tür ist direkt der Wanderfahrt. Das Visitor Center ist ebenfalls nicht weit weg. Große Küche zum Essen zubereiten. Durchgelegenen Matratzen, sehr Hellhörig
Nina (10/5): - Lokalizacja
Lena (9/5): Amazing location, worth the visit! - Amazing location, close to nature. You don’t have to plan as much when you are there, you can just wake up and go hiking, and come back. The only thing that requires a bit of planning is buying food, because the Fort William is about an hour away by walk, and the buses are not always going. They almost close the whole hostel during the day while they are cleaning. If you have your card you can still get in, but it doesn’t feel as relaxed.
