The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have great selection of beers. The lobby is a nice place to sit and relax, and it's very cozy. There are also guitars and a piano to play.

United States of AmericaWe went there as a family of four with two children. The hostel is in a great location; it is spacious and rooms have enough privacy. It has got lovely interiors and dining area along with outdoor seating. The hostel has license to serve alcohol which would be handy for thirsty travellers. Host is kind, knowledgeable and advised us of places to visit.

United KingdomPlace was really cute and well maintained. Staff were really friendly and helpful with any questions about the area. We stayed for 1 night and would have loved to stay for another to soak up more culture that Loch Ness area has to offer. Would recommend to fellow backpackers.

CroatiaStayed in the 6 person dorm perfect size for our group. Incredibly friendly and informative staff. Referred us to the little cafe around the corner that served us phenomenal food. Finally evenings were very enjoyable there as they have a bar with a wide variety of local brews and whiskeys to try out with a very knowledgeable tender who’s passionate about the experience. Would definitely recommend and will definitely plan on going back in the future.
