    It’s a great place to sleep on your way to Fort William, close to the trail head for the WHW. The beds were comfy and the place is close to the co op.

    Amazingly equipped kitchen and nice communal area. Really helpful staff - found a tin opener for us. The hostel was very clean, dry and warm and we had a good size private bathroom. Great location by river on edge of town and very handy for West...
