Calm and peaceful hostel

Great location, nice and peaceful and calm but easy walking distance from the station and the town. The hostel had a lovely quiet calm atmosphere. The staff at reception was very friendly. The communal areas and facilities were spacious and very well equipped. The room was naturally basic, as expected, but comfy and clean and well appointed with things like sockets/USB points and bedside tables with reading lamps. I would stay here again.

Nice but noisy neighbors

While we enjoyed our room, we had families with kids on both sides of us and it sounded like they were doing gymnastics until 11pm

Top quality hostel.

A great youth hostel, comfy bed, spotlessly clean and quiet in a good area with an easy walk to the station. I'll definitely go again.

We booked to stay in July 2024 for wishing to attend a fantastic concert in the Town. By chance we were in Inverness in October 24 and keen for a place to stay, We got a last minute room at the hostel. It was dirty. This time we arrived with trepidation, totally unfounded. We left out bags after a friendly welcome, went to the concert - brilliant! Came back to find a spotless room. We would recommend the place and the kind staff. Moran Taing Inverness SYHA
