Loch Ness Lochside Hostel

*OVER 18s ONLY - NOT SUITABLE FOR FAMILIES, GROUPS OF 5+ MUST CONTACT US BEFORE BOOKING*

A totally legendary backpackers' experience. Ideal for solo travellers, small groups, students, and outdoor enthusiasts - right by the shores of the most mythical Loch!

Unrivalled views of the Loch are perfect for Monster-spotting, while regular events like bonfires and Scottish Folk Dance Parties will bring you together with our travellers from across the World. With our own beach, you can even have a dip into the mysterious waters, but be careful, we hear there's a monster about. Canoeists and swimmers are welcome to pull up right on our shore for a night's stay, and we offer Kayak Rental courtesy of Kayakomat 24/7 so you can explore the water first hand.

Buses to & from Inverness, the Isle of Skye, and Fort William stop right outside our door, making us a great base to explore the Western Highlands. The world-famous Great Glen Way hiking trail is located a couple of hundred meters from the hostel, with great access to hills, glens, waterfalls and more on our doorstep. If you want to light a fire in the evening, bundles of wood are available from reception for an affordable price.

In the evenings, hang out in our awesome lounge that perches on the water's edge. With a free pool table and a roaring fire, it's a fantastic spot to meet others wandering the most epic part of Scotland. We host events every night to make meeting people easy - so you're sure to get involved. We sell a great assortment of cold local beer, wine, as well as other snacks and treats to help make your evenings comfortable and cozy.

We offer a fantastic set of hostel facilities - continental breakfast each day for just £4, a full laundry (wash & dry) service for just £10, affordable towel hire, free Wi-Fi, and luggage storage before & after your stay.
