to get started.

Staff 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.

If 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.

Graham

The 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

At 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!

Location, location, location and a great value. It was exactly what we needed. A clean bed, bathroom, and kitchen right around the corner to the ferry terminal. There was a grocery store next door and a cafe where we got breakfast around the corner.

Everything! The staff was friendly and full of information about things you could do locally and a bit further afield, the shared space was cozy and was a great opportunity to meet other guests and socialize. They even held my luggage for me for a number of hours after checkout! Finally the location is the best! Right across from the train station! And the price fair.

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.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in Mallaig! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

Could perhaps have more showers, though it wasn’t a problem when I was there.
Good location next to the railway station and very close to the ferry terminal. Seagulls ate a bit noisy but the hostel provides earplugs. All the rooms seem to be two person, so quiet compared to dorms.

Decor very simple but expected in a hostel.
Staff was great. Although the check in took only 5 minutes, she managed to tell me that the Highland Games were on in the next village. They were definitely a highlight of my trip. Also the almond croissant recommendation was genius. Would have never found the place otherwise.

“Nice owners, friendly place that could use a facelift.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Basic Single Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
The mattress was extremely soft, and with springs protruding upwards. The WiFi was kinda iffy, worked intermittently. The shower is a fixed showerhead, you have to press a button every 40 sec or so for the water to keep running. The water temperature is set (quite warm), you can't change it. There is also no shelf in the shower to place your soap or anything else (and there is no soap in the shower either).
The stuff at the Mission Bunkhouse is friendly, cheerful, and relaxed. They are happy to advise you on stuff, and know the area well. Mallaig is a tiny town, everything is close. The room was clean, smelled nice, very fresh air. The owners gently (and touchingly :) provided earplugs because the seagulls can get loud. didn't bother me, though.
