Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Die Lage ist sehr gut. Nette und hilfsbereite Crew. Netter Aufenthaltsraum.
Das Badezimmer ist schon sehr abgenutzt und nicht richtig sauber gewesen. Die Zimmer könnte man u.a. mit Kleiderbügel ausstatten um Klamotten trocknen zu können.
Estupendo albergue. Uno de los mejores en los que he estado.
Un poco caro para lo que es, pero teniendo en cuenta los precios del alojamiento en Escocia. No está nada mal.
Fine location
O
The bedroom was lovely and the mattresses were comfortable. Nice soft, clean bedding and towels. Facilities generally were nice and staff absolutely lovely. Toilets needed a little upkeep as one was broken and other one had missing toilet seat, so only ah done fully working while I was there. Still, great value for money and would stay again!
The continental breakfast was very simple and could have done with some more options to make it worth the £4.50. otherwise you end up paying 4.50 for two pieces of toast and a bowl of cereal, which seems a little steep, especially since the tea and coffee is already free of charge.
Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad. In der Gemeinschaftsküche war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend.
It’s super close to the railway station. Free tea and hot chocolate.
No gender separated toilets
Accoglienza e posizione
Location was good. Jess, Alice and staff were helpful and willing to listen to problems. I suggested a sign be put in place asking for silence in corridor after 11pm. She agreed. Also that door from reception be closed at a reasonable time. Jess agreed. The lounge area was comfortable. Coffee/Tea was available.
Late 5pm check in was a hassle. Noise everywhere, all hours. Our room 9 was opposite communal kitchen, being used late into night. A group of people were talking until well after midnight. I came out in my pyjamas, John, a volunteer or employee, apologised. And he closed the door. Through the night groups passed our door forgetting others might be in bed attempting to sleep. Employees/volunteers all seem to be temporary so there is no continuity. But Jess did promise she would speak to her boss. I noticed the internal duvets were shabby and torn.
Super poloha přímo v centru, klid, čisto jak pokoje tak sprchy s toaletou.
U postele mohla být zasuvka, lampička a chyběly skříňky na věci.
Prima bedden en eigen badkamer in een backpackers hotel. Simpel ingericht.
Beetje oubollig en vloeren kraken erg. Nog best prijzig voor wat je krijgt.
Comfortable lounge area
Kitchen seemed cramped and messy and couldn’t find ordinary breakfast teabags
Friendly staff.
It would be churlish to complain to be honest, it is what it is. A backpackers stopover.
Central location
No hot water in the ensuite shower
Está situado en la calle principal muy cerca de la estación de tren. Hay bares restaurantes y supermercado muy cerca. Cuenta con bonitas zonas comunes, salones y cocina, con café y té gratis.
La habitación para 2 personas es correcta para un hostel. El baño, dentro de la habitación, es pequeño, sin reformar y oscuro.
Comfortable bed, bigger than double which was great. Clean, great lounge area, friendly staff.
A bit noisy, what you’d expect with an old building, creaky floors etc. since guests but keeping their voices down over night/before 7am, and I guess the soundproofing wasn’t great. Or room was lovely, great view and little sitting area in the window. Shower room a little tired but fully functional which is the priority.
Baño propio en la habitación Camas cómodas Atención del personal
L’accueil de Jess était très sympathique. Plutôt bien situé au centre d’une grande rue où se trouve commerces et restos. Les sanitaires très propres (douches et toilettes). Petit dej très complet (céréales, boissons froides et chaudes, fruits). Grande pièces à vivre (côté avec espace pour manger et l’autre canapés et coin tranquille).
Les petits moins : Matelas fin et peu confortable Une multiprise centrale à la chambre pour les 6 lits Pas de casiers ni de rangements pour les sacs dans la chambre Pas de rangement pour les vêtements dans les douches
Auberge prêt du château,donc très facile ,propre,personnel gentil
Very friendly staff and a decent and comfortable room. Nice lounge and good facilities. Great if you're on a budget
It's an old building go maybe do with a wee upgrade, but it didn't bother me. It was clean and comfy and lovely staff
Ubicacion y precio.
Muy antiguo, cocina mínina. El baño del.dormitorio muypequeño y la cama muyyy ruidosa
Second stay at the Backpackers and it remains a lovely hostel with decent facilities, especially the kitchen. Staff were excellent, as they were last time. It's nice to have free tea and coffee available. The mixed room we were in was very quiet and guests are generally considerate.
The main challenges this time were the bunk beds, which were pretty creaky and therefore difficult to sleep in without waking people up. There are no ladders so you have to sort of climb up the frame - doable if you've got long legs! The pillows were also quite uncomfortable. It might also be handy to have a space to get changed in which isn't a small toilet cubicle, if you're in a mixed dorm and don't want to get changed in the room. I'd say £30 per person is quite a lot for this standard of hostel but I guess everything is more expensive these days!
Quiet, clean and functional
Nothing
Comodissimo ostello nel centro di Pitolchry, all'interno di un edificio molto caratteristico. Ostello ben organizzato e decorato in maniera allegra e colorata. Ampia e comoda zona comune
Nulla di particolare
Friendly and clean
Kitchen was not open until 7am. Not useful if you’re getting up early to go hiking
Really well organised, kitted kitchen, good location and staff
Kitchen get locks and you can't acess the fridge. Towels for 3£ is ridiculous especially considering what they charge per night for a bunk.
Location and the communal lounge area.
For the price , I didn’t expect too much but some of the carpets looked dirty.
Tutto ottimo con tutti i servizi che ci aspetta da un ostello.
Proximité centre ville Parkings Pièce commune très agréable avec belle vue
Très peu de pression à la douche Pas de bouilloire en chambre
Accueil chaleureux, service et aide. L'accès à la cuisine. La chambre familiale avec salle de bain privative du fait que mon fils était mineur
rien pour un séjour d'une nuit
Excellent, cheap option for overnight stay
We loved the vibe, and it was exactly the type of accommodation we needed at that point in our vacation. The lounge is fantastic, and while we didn't cook in the kitchen, it was well equipped and we used it to prepare snacks, as well as for an impromptu solar eclipse viewer. It was, in fact, the 2026 eclipse, but unfortunately, it was cloudy. I had a great conversation with the manager, greatly appreciated the parking, and we all slept very well.
So comfortable and friendly.
Posizione centrale, parcheggio gratuito privato, camera spaziosa
Bon emplacement au coeur de Pitlochry. Parking à l'arrière du backpacker. Cuisine équipée pour se préparer à manger. Salle de bain dans la chambre.
Backpacker assez basique et rustique. Impression générale que l'établissement aurait besoin d'un bon coup de nettoyage/peinture. Lits peu confortables. Salles de bain très petites. Attention, il y a un autre backpacker dans la même ville. Je me suis trompé d'adresse en arrivant (mais c'est ma faute, j'aurais dû mieux vérifier).
Great location, friendly and helpful people.
.
La ubicación en pleno centro.
El colchón se hundía un poco por el centro y se oía tanto ruido de la calle como de otras habitaciones y pasillo.
Posizione centralissima
Stanza piccola, pulizia approssimativa, struttura molto vecchia
Proximité du centre ville
L’isolation phonique
Me gustó tanto el hospedaje como el lugar, precioso con una energía preciosa.
Pues realmente, todo fue positivo y agradable.
L'établissement bien situé, accueil sympas, le personnel est bien informé et vous donne pas mal de renseignements au besoin.
Etablissement a besoin d'un bon coup de rafraichissement et l'odeur de cuisine qui se repend dans toutes les étages est assez désagréable.
Personnel accueillant et disponible. Chambre calme. Petit déjeuner convivial avec les autres voyageurs ! Je recommande.
Le matelas, pas assez ferme pour moi
Centralissima, personale super accogliente, spazi comuni ampi e molto curati.
Il check in è davvero tardi (alle 5 del pomeriggio), il letto vecchio e scomodo.
Molto tipica e accogliente come ambiente
Servizi igienici molto vecchi
Muy bien ubicado y la recepcionista muy amable!
Es antiguo, sin mantenimiento. La cama se hundía, se nota que los colchones son viejos. El pasillo es muy ruidoso, se escuchaba cuando alguien pasaba y hablaba.
Well located on the main street for shops, restaurants, etc and a few minutes from the train station. Secure bike storage. Free tea, coffee and with milk! Basic room but as expected. Nice lounge area.
Room and ensuite are 'tired' but not unexpected. Kitchen was dirty but this was due to other guests not cleaning up after themselves despite the efforts of the staff.
El barrio y la zona son muy tranquilas. Cerca hay muchos restaurantes con variedad de comidas.
El servicio es bastante escaso, tenemos que quitar nuestras propias sábanas y colchas. Y no solo eso, si no que además la cama es incómoda, el baño privado demasiado pequeño y el papel de wc nada confortable.
Good location and the price. Ok for one night
Check in is late and although the room is fine, the streets are noisy
Friendly and welcoming staff, facilities have all you would need, and rooms and common spaces were very comfortable. Great music at reception throughout.
Le Pitlochry Backpackers est vraiment un endroit où l’on se sent bien. Le personnel y est attentif, très sérieux. Et l’ambiance musicale créée par son manager Derrick permet d’y faire de nombreuses découvertes intéressantes. C’est très confortable, propre, et accueillant.
Ostello delizioso, avevamo una camera a 4 letti con il bagno. Tutto molto pulito e letti comodi. Situato proprio in centro paese, ma silenzioso. Ci tornerei.
staff were very helpful and moved me to a shared room with fewer beds. Also, I had to leave the hotel suddenly to attend to a family matter and again, the staff were very obliging.
I found the hostel clean but shabby.
Great location to explore the Highlands. In the centre of Pitlochry. Clean. Quiet. Good breakfast.
Nothing
De locatie en de sfeer zijn super.
Meer stopcontacten en een bedlampje. Paar kledingzaken. Safe of locker.
The room was basic as you'd expect from a youth hostel. The staff was very nice and of course it's affordable accommodation in a very busy location!
Sitio especial en el corazón del pueblo. Cómodo, relajado y con un trato excepcional.
Few min to train/bus station 2 min to supermarket Not huge Kinda comfortable beds
Loud flooring Tiny showers
Lounge très agréable. Ambiance cool.
Lit extrêmement inconfortable.
Közel a pályaudvar.
A közös férfi-női zuhanyzó.
An der Rezeption hat uns ein sehr netter und freundlicher Mann empfangen. Das Hostel ist originell und gemütlich gestaltet. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist etwas klein, aber mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Tee, Kaffee und Kakao standen kostenlos zur Verfügung. Unser Zimmer war nach hinten raus und sehr ruhig. Hinter dem Gebäude gibt es einen kostenlosen Privatparkplatz für die Gäste. Die Lage ist zentral an der Hauptstraße. Da der Ort nicht sehr groß ist, ist alles zu Fuß leicht erreichbar.
Es gibt ein geräumiges Treppenhaus, jedoch keinen Fahrstuhl. Für uns war das kein Problem.
The place is very clean and the communal areas are lovely. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The decor is really fun and quirky and the location is perfect. We ended up staying one extra night.
The beds are quite uncomfortable and it would have been nice for all showers to have pegs on them to facilitate people bringing their clothes in them as they are mixed gender
Abbiamo soggiornato nella stanza matrimoniale per una notte. Sicuramente la pulizia potrebbe essere migliorata, così come il materasso un po' sfondato. Lo staff è comunque molto cortese e simpatico. La posizione è centrale e l'auto può essere posteggiata nel parcheggio posteriore gratuitamente.
Loved how friendly and helpful staff was. Very welcoming. Clean and good value for money, excellent location 👌
Smelly armpits and closed window 😆
Very centrally located.
Location, amenities, common room decorations. The price and breakfast was good value for money.
N/a
Tutto, camera molto accogliente e servizi efficienti
Letti molto scomodi e usurati, camere non insonorizzate, tavoletta del water difettosa
Die Lage war optimal für Wanderungen, Einkäufe und Transport mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln.
Ich hatte ein Oberbett. Es gab keine Ablage, kein Licht und keine Steckdose am Bett. Der Speisenraum befand sich ziemlich weit entfernt von der Küche. Die Küche war sehr klein, es gab nur eine Spüle.
I appreciate the welcome from Gordon, his help to find the place I wanted to go, i.e. the Town Hall, and the location definitely! What a blessed the location! Before I found where the Station Road is, the hotel was almost passed. I also like the Vitoria building, the wooden, original furniture, and the leaning girls' hardwork. Also, I appreciate all the help I got, whether from the professional publisher, who taught me the French spelling of "chocolat" without e at the end:) or the lady who kindly lent her mobile charger and even looked after my phone until well after middle of the night. How lucky I was to be in the room where everyone was friendly and civil and considerate. Defo will recommend it and will come again and again.
Nothing.
Comfortable and welcoming common areas. Laundry and drying facilities.
Cosy and clean accommodation. I’d recommend it.
Skvela sdilana kuchynka. Mila recepce.
Location and staff were fabulous
Kitchen was small
Good location very relaxed atmosphere All you need fir a few days at a good price
The house was old but cosy. The location was excellent right in the middle of the town.
The hostel is located right in the middle of town. It has spacious and comfortable lounge and a dining room, plus a well-equipped kitchen. The Wifi is fast. Parking is great, right behind the hostel and ample space for motorcycles. A great plus was the drying room, where one could dry the soaked clothes and equipment.
One of the toilets was out of order.
Location
everything staff friendly polite helpful great value for money always clean beds kitchen love it ty backpackers xx
This was my second time stay at this backpackers, and the experience was just like last time, it was a very good stay. Management, facility and cleanliness were great.
Personally I felt, check - in time should be between 3 pm to 4 pm, because that's what I usually get in my other hostels vacation stay.
Comfy beds with plenty of room and a good shower. Friendly helpful staff, a great hostel type set up. Would visit again.
Nothing.
Tenía zonas para pasar tiempo con otras personas.
El baño de la habitación, muchísimo calor en la habitación y por todos lados, habitación muy antigua decorada y al baño le hacía falta una renovación urgente
L’équipe de l’établissement était incroyable, toujours à l’écoute et très sympathique ! Merci pour tout !
Everything!
No complaints.
Good location Free refreshments
Poor WiFi, no signal at all Bed was not good. Linen are not fresh No parking available
This was my first time staying here, and I had a fantastic experience overall! The complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, and tea selection were lovely touches that really make a difference. A huge thank you to the helpful staff, who all spoke good-to-fluent English and made everything smooth. Special thanks to the staff members from the Czech Republic for the warm conversations and great energy throughout my stay!
Minor maintenance note regarding the shower doors – a guest accidentally opened the door while I was using it. It's strictly a technical issue rather than a staff one, but fixing the locks would help avoid awkward moments for future guests!
Old fashioned property but all was clean and good.
No plugs in sinks
Petit hôtel/aj en plein centrre.personnel très sympa Chambre côté cours très calme malgré une situation sur la rue principale. Possibilité de se garer ds la cours Petit dej à 4e Salle commune cuisine Bonne adresse à un prix correct pour l ecosse!
Está bien ubicado en el centro de Pitlochry y está bien para el precio que tiene. El personal es amable y tiene aparcamiento.
Está todo bastante viejo, vendría bien renovar las moquetas y la pintura de las paredes.
staff were really helpful and friendly :)
Personeel is heel vriendelijk, locatie perfect, badkamer en toiletten schoon; daarnaast is er achter het hostel ruime parkeergelegenheid
Hostel situado en la céntrica calle, se trata de un edificio antiguo pero conservado y decorado con encanto. Cuenta con parking propio. Nos alojamos en la habitación privada con lavabo. El tamaño era correcto. Se encontraba limpio y tenía encanto. Por los precios de la zona, y de Escocia en general, estaba muy bien. La cocina está totalmente equipada.
La cocina quizás le faltaba algo de organización en la limpieza siendo tantos huéspedes. Tampoco pudimos hacer uso de ella siendo el check in tan tarde (17:00h, el más tardío hasta el momento de toda Escocia).
Location, atmosphere (old, authentic building, nice furnishing, decoration, dining area, kitchen fully equipped.
Squeaky floors :)
The kitchen had lots of useful utensils (quantity and range). Free tea and coffee with oat milk provided. And cooled water. Nice to be able to book a private en suite double room in a hostel. The room and hostel were not noisy (from surrounding area).
An outdoor space on the property would be nice. Also while we had space, the kitchen and dining room were on the smaller side.
Accessible et pratique. Personne sympathique.
Vieil établissement donc équipement un peu vieillot.
Everything was so perfect that I can't even think anything negative about my stay. Super awesome 👌 💖
Great location. Welcoming staff at reception
The bed mattress a bit old, the small shower. Ensemble a bit old, but was very clean and great location
An older style hostel but well equipped, clean and comfortable. The drying room was a bonus, as I arrived soaked. In the heart of Pitlochry with all the amenities nearby. Will stay again!
Nothing!
Ideally situated for our overnight stay, had a dorm of 5 beds for 5 of us
Mattress very thin foam
Friendly and cheaper than local hotels. I like having the option of making my breakfast and having slot of coffees
Nothing to report
friendly staff, car parking and handy for town
downside of location is a lot of street noise, wi-fi was sketchy. Quite expensive for what is is.
