Property Description

Very popular with outdoor enthusiasts, the four star VisitScotland accredited Aviemore Youth Hostel is the perfect base for activity groups, families and individual travellers looking for great value accommodation and all year-round adventure.

The hostel offers guests a wide range of comfortable shared and private rooms, a bright and spacious lounge area with woodland and mountain views, TV and pool table. Guests can opt for a wee breakfast which is served in the dining room or take advantage of the large self-catering kitchen. Other facilities include free WiFi, an excellent drying room, laundry, private lockers, secure bike storage and ample onsite parking.

The hostel also hosts a Scottish Natural Heritage visitor centre, with Peregrine nestcam and helpful information about Craigellachie National Nature Reserve.

Surrounded by lush woodland, the hostel sits in the heart of the vast Cairngorms National Park but is just a short walk from Aviemore’s bustling town centre.

An all year round resort, local activities include hillwalking, climbing, snowsports, mountain biking, pony trekking, watersports and fishing. Most activities take place on the Rothiemurchus Estate, a fabulous area with many easy paths through the Caledonian Pine Forest. The Scottish Whisky Trail is nearby, as is Landmark Forest Adventure Park, Highland Wildlife Park, Loch Garten RSPB and Strathspey Steam Railway.

The hostel is also available for exclusive private rental.

Very Good
Jul 29, 2023
Very good experience over all great staff and location, however a couple of issues were noted by the group. Firstly, the door was never locked during our stay over night so the security was lessened and this was exemplified by an issue on the last night of our stay. Secondly, the washing facilities did not exist for guests as they were used by the hostel for washing bed linen, perfectly understandable as they were not facilitated with the correct machines to deal with the loads they were doing.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating during my stay. Nice big kitchen space and lounge room with a pool table. Not sure if it was just our weekend but a lot of families with young children stay here too which can change the atmosphere as bit.
