Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Le personnel, les équipements de la cuisine et la propreté étaient au top.
Il y avait des lits superposés. Quand on dort dans le lit du bas, il n'y a pas assez de place pour lever la tête. C'est dommage
I come here every year, sometimes several times, so it's obvious I love it.
The only quibble would be that I miss a small desk in individual or twin rooms. But plenty of tables in common areas if I need be on my laptop for a while.
מקום מקסים, נקי עם צוות אדיב ויעיל ביותר. מגוון מסעדות מעולות בהמשך הדרך
Die Lage liegt sehr günstig am Eingang eines Landschaftschutzgebietes. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer und die Toiletten waren sauber. Frühstück war einfach aber ausreichend
Zu wenig Steckdosen, zu wenig Spinde. Keine Ablagemöglichkeiten für Sachen an den Betten
All fine
Le cadre est calme et reposant. Le personnel chaleureux et disponible.
La propreté des sanitaires laisse grandement à désirer. La colocation très compliquée du au non respect des autres (même si cela n'est pas dû au personnel)
Vraiment un super rapport qualité prix! Prix imbattable pour la qualité du lieu! Proche du centre ville tout en étant un peu à part au calme dans la nature. Beaucoup de salles de bains et toilettes accessibles et très propres. Lieux communs ( coin repas, salon) très agréables et grands. Accueil sympathique du personnel qui fait l’effort de parler lentement pour se faire comprendre ( appréciable quand on est français et nuls en anglais :p). Possibilité de faire une machine à laver sur place.
Literie moyenne et insonorisation absente entre les chambres mais cela ne m’a pas gêné car les gens sont respectueux. Ne jamais oublier sa clé en sortant de sa chambre et portes des chambres un peu lourdes et difficiles à ouvrir.
Buona base di appoggio. Personale molto disponibile visto il ns. late chechout
Niente
The staff were really lovely and friendly. The print on the duvet covers made me smile.
You could hear people walking in the corridors but it wouldn't put me off staying again
Lit confortable
Petit déjeunder un peu léger
Friendly staff, great facilities including drying room for wet gear
Fire doors can be a little noisy
Spacious, good facilities, good value for the location. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox. It's a pain in the arse with the the survey/feedback insists you you add more info ,......
Mattress was a bit basic. Tossed and turned for most of the night.
Das Haus ist sehr sauber, und das Personal ist nett und hilfsbereit. Der Drying Room war ein Gamechanger! Alle nassen Sachen sind über Nacht komplett trocken geworden, was im Zimmer nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet, und trockene Küchenlappen waren immer vorhanden. Es gibt genügend Duschen und Toiletten, und trotz der vielen Gäste war immer etwas frei. Insgesamt hat man das Gefühl, dass sich liebevoll um einen gekümmert wird. :-)
Man kann natürlich mit Leuten in ein Zimmer kommen, die weniger rücksichtsvoll sind, aber das kann in jedem Hostel passieren …
The hostel is in a great location - close to roads, amenities and services. Plenty of parking. The hostel has a lovely common room, kitchen and dining area. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
A large group of guests on the final evening of my stay caused quite a bit of noise and inconvenience for other visitors, including waking me up four times between 12.30-2.30am. They were loud, and despite a policy of no off-location alcohol, had brought quite a bit of their own to consume in the common room. I spoke to reception staff before checking out, who were very understandable and sympathetic, noted my points and said they had received the same information from others.
Stanze accoglienti, letto comodi
Troppi pochi i servizi solo per donne. Troppi misti, esclusioni alle donne solo due
Tout était parfait, l’accueil, l’ambiance, la localisation
Great location, hot water in the shower and friendly staff.

Nice people Nice place 👌 can't fult it brilliant check in
Nothing holiday
Schöner großer Aufenthaltsraum.
My first hostel experience and it was great. Friendly staff on the phone and on arrival, we were able to use the lounge area before check-in due to bad weather, Comfirtable beds and great shared facilities especially the kitchen area. We had an issue with our door lock which was dealt with promptly and with humour! Recommended for all ages.
Nothing I can think of!
Bon emplacement, propreté des lieux
Ras
Clean, tidy, welcoming, bright, vibrant surroundings
Lugar muy tranquilo, instalaciones muy limpias y habitaciones cómodas . El personal muy amable
La habitación estaba al lado del baño y por la mañana era muy ruidosa
The location was amazing.
旅館人員非常親切 旅館內公共區域很舒適寬敞、可以煮飯,而且動線設計得很不錯
三人房沒有吹風機,要自己帶 門鎖只有一把,要去公共空間會有點麻煩
Quiero hacer una reclamación y devolución del dinero de Aviemore Youth Hostel. Lo único que me gustó fue que estaba cerca del tren y el paraje natural que acompaña a la pesadilla de lugar.
El malolor, la falta de higiene, la moqueta sucia, la sala de estar no tenía nada que ver con las fotos, sofás malcuidados y sucios. Con lo cual, díganme a qué correo electrónico debo escribir para la devolución de mí dinero empleado en un lugar que no se muestra en las imágenes cedidas por Booking a la hora de hacer la reserva. Las fotos de Booking muy bien presentadas, nada que ver con la realidad.
Comodidad y cercanía a rutas
El billar no era gratis
The kitchen was well appointed
The noise, all the doors slam instead of closing and my room was in the main hallway so you heard everything
Good location, friendly staff, secure bike storage. Well equipped kitchen.
地點很不錯,床&枕頭(有兩顆!)很舒服,晚上可以好好休息!有廚房可以煮飯,大家也都維持的很乾淨!免費提供毛巾非常感謝!
浴室地板感覺很久沒有清潔;充電的地方有點少
Grande cuisine, coin salon sympathique.
Difficile de régler l'eau des douches (eau très chaude!)
Auberge très bien placée, avec un accueil chaleureux et efficace. De bons équipements, un parking pratique,
Lavabo bouché dans la salle de bain.
La ubicación en plena naturaleza y cerca de Inverness. Las instalaciones están bastante bien y la mujer que nos recibió en recepción, pura amabilidad
Quizás alguna plaza de parking adicional
Friendly and helpful staff, huge 3-bed room. Clean showers, good location.
Bring your own breakfast, there is a kitchen. Offered breakfast did not had a good price-value-ratio.
Il y avait un grand espace commun avec beaucoup de canapés pour se poser. Ambiance conviviale, mais assez d’espace dans les communs si on préfère rester seul.
Le lit n’était pas très confortable malheureusement, on sentait les ressorts et cela gênait. La chambre était très petite pour 6 personnes (alors que j’avais réservé un lit dans un dortoir de 4 personnes), il était même compliqué de trouver de la place pour poser chacun son sac. De plus, il n’y avait qu’un crochet pour pendre toutes ses affaires dans la douche et aucun endroit pour se changer au sec.
Friendly atmosphere. Staff very accommodating and helpful. Will definitely return. Location perfect.
Dobrá lokalita, čistota a vybavení společné kuchyně, ochotný personál
stará budova a zní vyplývajíc neodstatky (přenos hluku mezi pokoj)
Beautiful location. Friendly helpful staff. Simple breakfast, reasonable cost. Cereal, yogurt fruit and toast, juice
Maybe another protein source such as peanut butter or hard boiled eggs. But you could buy these and make yourself easily. Loved that we were able to do laundry, reasonable fee
L'atmosfera La cucina perfettamente attrezzata
La pulizia della stanza
Les locaux sont propres, l'ambiance est très agréable. Nous avons été conquis par le concept des auberges de jeunesse
Cote sympathique
Rien
La gentillesse du personnel, l'emplacement, la bonne organisation de la cuisine
L'inconfort des lits
The staff, the location, and the facilities.
The location
Lack of parking. Crowded small bedroom and very smelly and lack of ventilation. Six on bunk beds. I booked a lower bunk because I have mobility concerns and for four nights. Got a top bunk and had to bribe an able person to swap. Survivor but challenging.
Well organised and welcoming
Sound proofing was poor so it felt like people were actually in our room at 630 am.
On peut visiter aviemore à pieds et il y a des restaurants et shops tout le long de la rue où est l auberge de jeunesse. Des promenades sympas pas trop loin.
Auberge de jeunesse vieille surtout les chambres tres petites pour 4, un peu glauque. Des problèmes de serrure pour ouvrir la chambre,pas beaucoup de douches et de toilettes. C est tres éparpillé.
Personnel adorable et espaces communs très propres
Mauvaise isolation entre les chambres
Spacious, excellent dining and sitting area and a well - equipped kitchen. Beautiful outdoors.
The bunk bends were a bit uncomfortable in the way of climbing up and down and the ladder was really slippery and narrow. Lack of shelves In the shower area.
Accoglienza
Location of the hostel.
The smell in rooms 19 and 1 is very strong — it smells of mold and some other unnatural substances. The hostel is extremely noisy, and the noise from the hallway and neighbouring rooms is very disturbing. Nothing is sound‑isolated. The beds were not comfortable. Because we started our days early, we also returned early, but the heating in the rooms was only turned on after 6 PM. The kitchen did not have any deep plates.
Très bon emplacement, chambre et espace commun propres, lave linge possible pour 5£ et sèche linge pour 4£. Personnel accueillant.
Literie un peu vieillissante. Moquette dans tout établissement, comme dans beaucoup d hébergements au royaume Uni, mais qui n est pas forcément adapté à une auberge de jeunesse avec beaucoup de randonneurs.
Great location at the edge of town, beautiful grounds, lovely staff. The kitchen was great and the dining area was spacious. There were several other nice common areas including a big lounge and a place to read.
When booking, you are notified that a car parking space is included in the booking, but this isn't the case. It's first come first served in the car park, so a space is not guaranteed. The floors are extremely creaky, the rooms all have heavy fire doors which bang closed late at night and early in the morning and the soundproofing is pretty non existent. We barley slept because of banging doors, creakiing floors and noise from other guests. I wouldn't stay again for that reason.
Location , pool table. Nice kitchen facilities
Uncomfortable beds, thin walls. Could hear neighbours snoring
The staff was really helpful, the lounge area is incredibly comfortable, and the whole place was rather comfortable.
The usual stuff with hostels and dorms, but that's not really the hostel's fault. And the shower sharing
Immaculately clean, very well equipped and the most comfortable mattress I’ve had in a hostel (better than some hotels!)
Parking was full when I arrived but staff very helpful in identifying space I could leave my car.
Sehr schön und ruhig gelegen. Tolle Ausstattung der Küche. Kostenlos Tee und Kaffee. Super freundliches Personal. Sehr saubere und gepflegte Jugendherberge.
Alles war prima!
Krásná lokalita, klid, čisto. Určitě nejlepší sdílený ubytko, co jsem navštívila.
Bellissimo ostello, grande cucina, piena di utensili, grande sala da pranzo e sala condivisa per relax. La posizione eccellente, alle spalle dell'ostello si ha un bellissimo percorso nella riserva naturale del craighiellaic e si può raggiungere a piedi il sentiero per il loc an eilein. Personale super gentile e accogliente. Ottima la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli e poter conservare il cibo nel frigo anche dopo il check out! Super consigliato
La stanza piccolina, senza armadietti o spazio sotto il letto per poter mettere sotto lucchetto i propri averi.
Das Hostel ist wunderschön gelegen und sehr gut mit dem Zug erreichbar. Es ist sehr gemütlich, sauber und hat alles was man braucht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt und kommen gern wieder.
nichts.
All really fantastic
Mattress was decrepit
El desayuno bueno pero el colchón horrible e incomodísimo !!!!
Great location and facilities.
Kitchen...communal areasa..great secure bike storage. Friendly helpful staff
Very comfy bed in the dormitory! I like how with Scottish hostels you always get 2 pillows. Facilities were all clean and functional as you would expect from a youth hostel, and had everything I needed. Free luggage storage was also helpful
Everything was nice, and I had a pleasant experience.
The cleanest hostel I’ve stayed at (and I have stayed at many). The kitchen was immaculate and the bedding incredible. Couldn’t recommend it more. And soooo affordable!! Perfect location to hikes and the town centre. If I ever came back I would definitely stay here again 😁❤️
Nothing!!!
Brilliant location, excellent value for money, with beautiful walks & views straight from the front door.
Good clean facilities. We had a 2 bed room which had a sink - good for teeth cleaning. Good common room, kitchen and dining room. Excellent drying room
Nothing in particular
Clean and comfortable , staff are well trained
The availability of a hot water tap to allow folks anytime access for a hot drink or soup noodle pot etc…
Fully equipped kitchen. Excellent location near town but on the edge of a beautiful nature reserve.
Opgelucht om terug een gezonder ontbijt te hebben. De kamers waren gedeeld maar alles verliep heel rustig en een goed matras! Heel gezellig. Zalige douches.
Prima zoals het is.
ktichen and lounge were clean and good with everything was needed, nice area next to woodland and park
the room I checked in had dirty carpet and as I was at top bed it was very visible small spider net and dirty ventilation box and ceiling. I thought that the next day the floor will be hovered, but It was not so I asked in reception if this can be done the next day, but it was not actioned. Only the next day it was done. So I spend 3 nights of 4 with dirty and messy floor, Everyday somebody new cheched in so the staff changed the sheets and must have seen at least very messy carpet.
Emplacement pas loin de la gare, bonne ambiance générale, espaces communs sympathiques
Ça sent le vieux, toilettes souvent sales, pas de savon dans les douches, murs en carton, on entend tout dans les chambres voisines ou les couloirs
Saubere Zimmer und Betten, gute Duschen, Lage ist top, Küche gut ausgestattet, Wäsche waschen war kein Problem und ist im Trockenraum schnell getrocknet.
Manche Möbel oder Toiletten sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmerwände sind ziemlich dünn, ich hab den Wecker aus den Nachbarzimmer gehört. Die eine von den 4 Matratzen in unserem Zimmer sollte ausgetauscht werden. Die anderen Matratzen waren bequem.
Next to town , good spacious room excellent showers
Nothing really good value for a youth hostel
Really quiet place. Well located and comfortable.
Parking was not clearly marked and when we arrived it was not space our car…but, several other ones were occupying more than the space for one vehicle
Great Location Great Kitchen Facilities Good Breakfast Provided
Beds clean but not very comfortable Very soft mattresses
Tout. Les espaces partagés très spacieux. La cuisine collective super organisée.
Les chambres sont vieillottes mais fonctionnelles
Absolutely fabulous hostel! 👌 Very close to town centre, friendly staff, clean, comfy bed and great facilities 😊
Would’ve given 10 but for the squeaky bed when you moved 🙄🤣
Classic hostel, no unneccessary fancyness, just the basics, but everything is clean, not to mention for a unbeatalble price in the area.
It is a classic youth hostel so it is not the mpst confortalble (tiny rooms, shared bathroom and restroom), but it all comes with being a youth hostel so it's all expected.
The personal was very friendly and willing to help. Our stay was very good :)
Nothing bad to remark.
Good location
Le lieu , la cuisine
Le lit , très très mou. Pas de gel douche proposé dans la douche
Friendly staff and atmosphere, willing to help with anything. Beds were comfortable and sturdier than most hostels. Bathrooms very clean compared to other stays. I loved the common area with the forest view. It was out of this world.
Was very pleased overall, but for a proce of almost 40€ a night I thought the 3£ towel fee was a bit unnecessary.
Beds extremely uncomfortable
Big room , very well equipped kitchen, lots of toilets and showers. Comfy common room. Friendly staff.Great location 3 mins from the station
Location was less than 10 mins from the city centre so that was convenient. Sheets were clean and pillows were comfy. Common room was spacious and clean with a lovely view outside
This is the first time I have used a Hostel and I must say that I was very impressed with this one. The staff were very polite and helpful and made my stay easy and comfortable. The dining area was clean and tidy as was the lounge area. This area was nice with a pool table, various board games and a TV for good in house entertainment. The toilets/showers were very clean and kept tidy with plenty of hot water in the shower. The bedroom I used (Room 2) was again tidy and clean. There is 4 beds (2 single beds and a set of bunk beds) but plenty of room. My bed was really comfortable that allowed me to have two great nights sleep. There is plenty of parking space in the car park and some nice walks within the grounds. I would definitely recommend anyone who uses Hostels to try this one as they won't be disappointed. I had a good low cost stay and if I'm back in the area I will definitely consider it again. Overall I am a very satisfied customer/Hostel stayer. Thanks to everyone for making my first Hostel stay and very enjoyable experience.
There was nothing to dislike about this Hostel or my stay
Le cadre, proche de la réserve naturel, que tout soit de plein pied
Les portes qui claquent au petit matin et des personnes qui prennent leur douche dès 4h00 du matin alors que la règle est pas avant 7h00…
Comfy bed, good shower, and toilets next to dorm. Super kitchen and facilities, not that they're much use to me :) Nice and handy for local facilities.
Narrow bed, to accommodate cupboard in room. Poor storage facilities in toom, no shelf, drawers. One cupboard, but hanging rail was missing and no shelf. Door closers and passing toilet users made it a little noisier than one might want, but wasn't the worst. A bedside light would have been welcome.
Ciekawy hostel, ludzie głównie vhodzacyypo górach więc nie ma meliniarstwa. Miejsce w lodówce, można też zostawić swoje jedzenie komuś innemu.
Na przeciwko pokoju suszarka bębnowa trochę hałasowała. W okolicy mało knajp aby coś zjeść. Brak stolika w łazience, nie ma gdzie położyć rzeczy.
The common room had a peaceful outlook, the kitchen was clean & had everything you needed, the room was clean & beds comfortable.
We had a bit of noise next door, but that didn’t last long.
Great location! Super clean and well equipped.
Very clean, convenient and in a good location.
Everything except the beds
The bed destroyed my back
Good position. Great common areas. Staff helpful & friendly
Our room was a little smelly (musty?) Also it would be great if the showers had pump packs of soap in them and each room with a sink had the same.
Śniadanie było opcjonalne .
I enjoy meeting new people
Easy check in, room was clean and comfortable. Didn't really spend much time in the hostel, but would definitely recommend.
Das Zimmer war sauber und bot ausreichend Platz. Es gab ein eigenes Waschbecken. Das Frühstück war gut. Der Aufenthaltsraum ist gross und es gibt einen Billiardtisch.
Es gab einen (Fehl-) Feueralarm am frühen morgen. Gäste, die um 23 Uhr ankamen und neben unserem Zimmer noch duschten. Vielleicht wären Rücksichtsnahmeschilder in diversen Sprachen hilfreich?
