Nice cosy lounge, Great kitchen and dining area. Laundry facilities (£5) and great drying room. Snacks and drinks for sale. Parking and a few seating areas outside. Stunning location.

We stayed 4 nights in a private room. Overall, the hostel is spacious, clean, comfortable, and friendly. However, we did find the room really hot without much airflow. My only other complaint is that two nights we experienced issues with drunk adults. One of the adults was working the desk a few days later, which is not appropriate. These disturbances were not handled by the staff, which was unfortunate, as it disturbed the evening for all guests.

Missed first due to flight, paid for hotel for third night, very uncomfotable beds, very hot windows barely open. Not that clean, expected rustic but not this bad. Lost a lot of money due to conditions.

Friendly staff! The facility has clean common areas and washrooms, since they’re cleaned everyday. Kitchen is great. It’s too bad the hostel is mostly closed during the cleaning hours (no room and kitchen access) but then again you don’t come to Glencoe to stay inside :) They should fix the faucets and hand dryers in the washrooms since they don’t all work properly. Its nice that they have coffee and tea available all day. I’d recommend jt and would stay here again

Je ne conseille pas

Dans un cadre magnifique, hôtel vieillot, une literie bonne à jeter ! Très cher pour le service proposé. 1 seule douche/WC commune à l'étage pour les femme... Grande cuisine salle à manger commune, avec frigo pour conserver sa nourriture : Intéressant pour ceux qui veulent économiser sur les repas et se faire la cuisine.
