A good location but not good value when compared to other similar establishments. Clean and tidy. Obnoxious jobs worth receptionist who obviously felt in a position of power rather than a position of assistance. The two day staff the following morning were helpful and polite.

Fantastic hostel, easy check-in, superb facilities and a lovely feel to the place. We stayed one night and would have been happy to spend more time here. The only very small downside is the distance from the town of Fort William, approximately 3 miles. We had bikes, so didn't cause a problem for us.

Good location of you want to hike. Helpful staff. Nice that you can buy breakfast for around 5 pounds per person (including coffee!). Would have been nice with an electric vehicle charger.
