Calluna Reviews

Nice hostel owners, but the place was hard to find. Don't trust google map.

Calluna is a nice small hostel with nice atmosphere, but at the time when I was there the bathroom and toilet was really dirty. The other problem was that all the building was really cold on the day of my arrival. It took few hours to feel warm in the room or in the kitchen - both toilet and bathroom were freezing cold.

It was very difficult to find even with a car. We drove up the hill with the sign to the address (and this sign was not easy to find) to the end of the road, then found a note saying that cars should go from another route! We had to drive down the hill and up again guessing where we shall go. It took us about half an hour to find the hostel and no one was picking up the phone in the hostel at all. We waited at the door for about half an hour before we saw the owners came back.

The owners seem to be a very nice young couple. The apartment, shared by two rooms, is big and provides you with everything you need (that includes Braveheart on VHS, those were the days). There is a lot of information in the apartment on various hiking tracks and things to see/do in the surrounding area. The location is nice, you have a nice view over the Loch. Don't be fooled by the climb up to the hostel though, it is quite the walk. All in all, your money is well spend here!

Nice family run hostel in a good location with ample free parking.

Welcoming and helpful throughout our stay

Very convenient location. Clean cosy dorm room with clean sheets with a shared kitchen. Overall a homely place to relax and wind down after climbing ben nevis. Main door leading to shared dorms could have autolock installed such that a key is always needed to open door from the outside as some guests dont lock the main door when leaving.

The hostel is really clean and confortable and the staff quite friendly. But, it's a little far from the centre city and and there are no many things to do there (maybe it's because I was alone in my room, haha).

Good hostel, very clean, staff ok...could be difficult find the hostel it need a sign!

lovely place; comfortable, quiet, clean, free wifi, a kitchen, etc. only downside is that it's a little too far from town to be convenient
