Property Description

Located in the centre of the Isle of Skye, this former Post Office offers a warm and friendly environment. The hostel is noticeable for its vibrant yellow colour along with its imaginative interior. The spacious kitchen and dining room, housed in the original sorting room, is the perfect place to meet other backpackers whilst enjoying the fabulous view across Portree Bay to the Cuillins from the window.

The hostel, once the main post office for the island, has been converted into a hostel with bags of character whilst being well provided with excellent facilities.The reception and lounge is the original post office counter area, still with the original safe, clock, service counter and access, and WiFi throughout the hostel.

Our hostel is easy to find, public transport is a minute's walk and parking, shops, tourist information and parking a short walking distance. With rooms range from 4 bedded to 12 bedded, along with offering family friendly and mixed dorms

The hostel is closed between 10am and 3pm every day for cleaning, during which time all patrons are expected to leave the hostel. Which makes some activities difficult. Plus, for 5 hours of cleaning, the showers aren’t that clean. There is no atmosphere at the hostel. Tea, coffee, and sugar are supplied, but not milk. Kitchen is great, but only available for use 7-10 and 3-10. Dorm room doors are left open for the 5 hour cleaning schedule and there are no lockers, so not secure.
