Based in the heart of Inverness, Black Isle Hostel!

Conveniently located a stone throw away from Inverness train and bus stations, our bright and unique hostel is not to be missed! We
have 10 mixed dormitory rooms and 14 private rooms above our bar with beds from £25 and private rooms from £52. Our private rooms include single, twin, double and family rooms all of which are en-suite with towels provided. Our hostel offers two communal bathrooms, one for males and one for females with towels available to hire for £2. We also have a large comfortable lounge with a dining area and kitchen available for all guests to use during their stay. We are also dog friendly within our private rooms or fully booked dormitories.

Our bar, Black Isle Bar, has proven to be a popular establishment offering a selection of 26 craft beers on draught and many many more in cans and bottles. Our brewery produces world class organic beers and we are able to showcase a large selection of these exclusively in our bar. The bar's kitchen is fitted with a wood fired pizza oven and our food is as organic as we can possibly source. We serve a unique selection of pizzas, salads and specials such as stews and soups.

We aim to bring a little of the Black Isle to Inverness and act as a base camp to the Black Isle itself! Tours of the brewery can be arranged all year round, for free! We hope to offer you a unique stay and our team look forward to welcoming you through the door.

Friendly helpful staff, nice facilities and clean ish kitchen. Good beds for a hostel. Half of the the toilets were broken, the functioning other half were dirty and the showers floors were definitely not clean.

It was very quiet when I went in early December. It's a decent hostel but it's definetly not pretty or charming. I can't say anything bad because everything was functionnal, but nothing was remarkable. I would go back without hesitation if I was in Inverness because it was safe and clean, but I wouldn't be excited about it.

The best thing about this hostel is its location and the bar. Security was the most comforting thing about it. You get a keycard that must be used at every door, as well as cage-like cubbies that can be locked to secure your things. However, the plumbing (at least during our visit) was horrendous. The bathroom and kitchen sinks were constantly backed up or out of order. The beds and pillows provided were also incredibly uncomfortable, and hardly a step up from wooden bunks alone.
