Loch Ness Backpackers Reviews

smelly, unaccessible bedroom, breakfast expensive, no support, no telephone number to get in touch

We only stayed one night but had a good time. The staff are friendly and it's in a good location between Loch Ness and the castle. Wifi worked well in common areas but not in our room which was outside the main house. Would recommend.

Put a spot light on your sign so people arriving after dark can find you easily.

There were some really nice things about the hostel. The dorm I was staying in had all the bunks coloured and nice colourful looking linen on the beds. It was in a good place to walk to Drumnadrochit (10 mins, has a bunch of Loch Ness stuff) and to walk to Urquhart Castle (about 20-30 mins). But if you have a room in the initial old farmhouse part, the security is light due the front door always being open and not having to pass reception to go upstairs, though they do have lockers downstairs.

It was an ok place to stay for the one night but the person running the hostel was never around so checking in and out was an issue as was asking any questions. Breakfast wasn't included in the price and if you wanted a simple breakfast it was 3 pound. There was also signs everywhere about cheap pizza for dinner but when we asked about it the owner said no we don't do that. It was close to all the sights we wanted to see and the facilities were clean so it was fine for a nights stay.
