Ronald United Kingdom

Great reception, lots of detail on hostel and the area. the beds were comfortable, room warm, bathrooms very clean. We all had a lovely experience!

Louise United States of America

Bed and bedroom were clean, towels were clean, kitchen and bathroom were clean. Great location close to train and ferry. Conveniently next to co-op and coffeeshops. Everything about this place was top notch, considering it is a hostel. Hostel keepers were pleasant and helpful. They even let us upgrade from bunkbeds to a double for my husband and I. All in all we had a great stay.

Michele United States of America

Staff were so friendly, they went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay.

Wakely United Kingdom

Superb location right at the train station and ferry terminal. Co-Op right next door. Some good restaurants and a fantastic bakery just steps away. Staff so friendly and helpful. Very clean. Lovely little harbor, we had a great sunset.

Kimmykat13 United States of America

Locaed in the centre of Mallaig, close to shops, pubs and restaurants, also train station and ferry terminal. Room was basic, with clean bedding and heating that works very well. Would stay again!

Katarzyna United Kingdom

Conveniently located and pleasant outside area overlooking harbour. Very helpful staff.

Claire United Kingdom

The 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.

Anirudhan India

The 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!

Kathleen United States of America

Lovely family run place, in a great location. Very clean and comfortable.
