About

We’re delighted to offer you a warm, cozy stay with a touch of home! As a boutique hostel, we strive to provide high-quality accommodation and a memorable experience for backpackers.
Our location is right in the heart of Inverness city center, so everything you need is just a short walk away: 5 minutes to High Street, 10 minutes to supermarkets, and 15 minutes to the train or bus station. And don’t forget—Inverness Castle is right next door!
In a converted old Victorian town house - built in 1826 - each of our 10 rooms is unique, offering views of the castle, river, or garden, and designed to suit solo travelers, couples, and families alike. Our dorms have recently been upgraded to enhance your comfort, with each bunk bed or pod featuring a privacy curtain, USB and socket charging points, and a personal reading light.
In our fully equipped kitchen, you’ll find free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to start your day off right. You’ll also have access to a microwave and other cooking essentials to fuel your journey.
Our private garden is a lovely spot to relax. Enjoy the beautiful views of the Cathedral and River Ness, read a book, or unwind on a hammock. Cyclists are welcome to park and lock their bikes in the garden, which is securely locked overnight for added peace of mind.
Don't be surprised to hear different accents and languages at Bazpackers! Our guests and staff from around the world often gather around the fire to share stories, play board games, or show off their musical talents.
Eager to share your adventure on social media or travel as a digital nomad? We’ve got you covered! Our superfast, stable WiFi reaches every corner of the hostel to keep you connected.
We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay exceptional!

Perfect location and friendly staff. The privacy curtains were a big benefit, felt very private. Only downside was one bathroom on the floor and then shared toilets and showers

Good location and the room itself had a good view. The door to the street doesn’t lock which feels a bit unsafe. The kitchen had bees in it every morning so I’m not sure if there’s a nest nearby. This a very fixable problem - I would send a private message about this if it were possible on this app. The showers were either boiling hot or freezing cold. Yes I tried everything to make them work properly. Overall, it worked out fine. With some property improvements I may consider staying again.
