Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Conveniently located and pleasant outside area overlooking harbour. Very helpful staff.
United KingdomThe property is hard to miss if you are coming into the town through rail. From the room I was staying in, I could see the ticket counter and the rails. Considering that the trains are few, there is no issue with noise. Mallaig is as such a small town, so the location doesn't really matter. The Co-op store is next door and the sea is just a few minutes' walk (though it isn't actually a beach). The landlady was a cheerful person who took time to take me around the property in spite of my just staying over for the night.
IndiaThe location was perfect. Directly at the end of the ferry pier and across the street from the train station. Room was very clean and had the best pillow and warmest, fluffiest comforter of my travels! The showers were very clean and hot and had plenty of room. My hostess was so kind and friendly and it was exactly what I needed coming into town. Also, the grocery store is directly next to the bunk room. Couldn't be more convenient!
United States of AmericaLovely family run place, in a great location. Very clean and comfortable.
CanadaThe location was right across from the train station, which was convenient for traveling by train. The staff was warm and welcoming and even sent me a text to check in with me before I arrived.
United States of AmericaThe bathroom was nice and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Very conveniently located next to the station and the ferry.
LuxembourgStaff at the Mission Bunkhouse were lovely on arrival and I really appreciated all the advice on what to do and where to eat in town. I was given a short, simple tour of the bunkhouse, which provided all the amenities I required for my one night stay. It was the perfect place for a solo traveller at the end of the West Highland Line.
AustraliaIf you want a clean, low cost room, convenient for the ferry and railway, this is place. Improved recently in facilities. Cook your own food at the kitchen.
United States of AmericaThe property located just 3 minute walk from the ferry, and the parking was also close and free. The staff was very helpful and warm-hearted
ChinaAt the first glance the building might look a bit awkward for a hostel, but if you get in the host will give you a very friendly welcome. Spacious kitxhen and common room, enough facilities and everything quite clean. Would stay again!

On Scotland’s far west coast, The Mission Bunkhouse in Mallaig offers simple hostel accommodations right opposite the train station and seconds from the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry terminal. A pretty fishing port in the Highlands, Mallaig has a supermarket, shops and places to eat right outside the building.
The Mission Bunkhouse has a shared TV lounge and offers laundry services. There are standard twin bedrooms and single rooms with sinks available. All rooms have shared bathroom facilities with showers, and a communal kitchen with an oven, microwave, kettle and fridge. Bedding is included in the room rate. Towels can be rented.
WiFi is available in the communal areas.
Downstairs, the privately owned Mission Café serves breakfast from 06:30. A Co-op supermarket is just next door making it easy for guests who prefer to cook for themselves.
Trains run directly from Fort William to Mallaig, a journey of around 80 minutes which is regarded as one of the UK’s most scenic rail routes. You can enjoy views of Loch Eilt and Ben Nevis and then sample Mallaig’s freshly caught seafood at its excellent restaurants on your arrival.
