We traveled out of season and we arrived late. The bunkhouse has a great kitchen and living room near the sleeping roomshe landlady came just after we called her. Location near a COOP (food) and a bar (drink), next to the station. Haven't heard a train passing only the snoring of my mates. Very close to Ben Nevis Distillery and Neptunes Staircases. One trainstop from Fort William central station where the Jacobite express (Harry Potter train/ Glenfinnan viaduct) starts

We where the only folk there, so we had the place to ourselves but then we called out of season, good location if you have transport I think it would be a bit of a walk from Fort William but there is a Coop at the top of the road so food no problem ideal as a stop over or base to explore

A very affordable option for a group, hostel was perfect for a one night stay given what we wanted to achieve from our visit. Ben Nevis in close proximity as was Fort William. Facilities were good and provided us with everything we needed. Would use this option again if we ever built the courage to climb Ben Nevis again!
