Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Fabulous location overlooking the water. Good basic facilities. Good value.
Could do with some updating.
Personnel absolument adorable. Salle de bain commune mais franchement très bien. Chambre vue sur le port, c'est toujours un petit plus. Parking au pied du bâtiment et commerces accessibles à pied.
Matelas assez inconfortables...
Wspaniała pani na portierni, miła i bardzo pomocna we wszystkim. Dziękuję .
Sally at reception was friendly, welcoming and very generous with her knowledge about the area. She helped us to book a boat trip and nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen is large and well equipped and there are plenty of communal spaces to sit and enjoy the company of others or play scrabble ! Our room was cosy and comfortable with good mattresses and cosy duvets.
The fact that we could not stay longer !
Freundliche Begrüßung
Nix
From the staff (namely Sally, she was brilliant), to the location being so central, cleanliness, comfort, everything was excellent, especially for its price.

Accoglienza dello staff e camera
Gut ausgestattet Küche mit viel Platz im Kühlschrank. Das Personal am Empfang hat gute Tipps gegeben.
Für ein Hostel fand ich es teuer. Die Betten waren durchgelegen.
Very helpful and friendly staff, could store our luggage earlier in the day than the check-in time. Having the drying room was great for us. Great location overlooking the bay.

Cudowna obsługa, lokalizacja, super kontakt i udogodnienia, czystość, obsługa w języku polskim, możliwość przechowania bagażu.
Reception staff was a lovely young lady, very enthusiastic and helpful.
I enjoyed my stay

Sencillamente sensacional. Genial organizado, pulcro, limpio, en primera línea… Totalmente recomendable. La persona de la recepción también súper amable.
Nada!
Very kind and helpful personal, giving us great advice for excursions. Nice view on the harbour from the twin room.
Room was rather small for two large suitcases, but absolutely fine for one night.
The location on the waterfront was beautiful. Stunning views. The room had plenty of space for 6 people to sleep comfortably. I slept well and was not disturbed.
Best hostel I've ever stayed in.
Room was very warm for August.

On the main street, washing facility good, kitchen layout good.
Communal toilets didn't seem to be flushable easily We had ensuite but could hear consistent flushing from communal toilets thru the night /early morning
Idéalement situé, le personnel est très sympathique et aidant, les installations de la cuisine sont vraiment parfaites.
Personnel aimable. Logement propre.
Staff are helpful and friendly, the location is great, the dorms and toilets are clean, the shared kitchen is perfectly well equipped, all the tools are clean and working. Coffee, tea, jams, cereals, juices are offered. It's a lovely place to have as a base to explore Ullapool and surroundings.
If I really have to mention something that could be better, that would be the size of the shared dorms.
Auberge très bien équipée, surtout la partie cuisine et espace collectifs. Les dortoirs sont bien agences et calmes. Très bien située, avec une belle vue sur le port de Oban.
La literie.
Excellent location, beautiful view.
Hostel, so was a bit noisy in dorm, but no worse than expected.
Emplacement idéal, personnel très sympathique, propreté des chambres et cuisine

Alles hat gepasst. Wir hatten ein privates 6-Bett Zimmer. Die Lage war optimal, das Personal sehr nett, hat uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Äää
Excellent location nice friendly reception brilliant thanks
Nothing
Location and staff were great, and the bathrooms were spotless
The noise from the other rooms was unbearable, beds were uncomfortable, and I can’t believe I paid double the money for a hostel than I paid for a hotel with breakfast
Great location on the sea front close to the centre, restaurants and shops. Friendly staff. Indoor secure storage for bikes.
A tiny room with 2 single beds toe to toe, smaller than a prison cell, with 2 hooks on the back of the door. No other storage or other facilities in the room. Way overpriced.
A notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par une dame très sympathique, patiente, compétente et claire dans ses explications. Nous avons eu 2 chambres en tout. 1 chambre avec 2 lits et 1 chambre avec 3 lits (dont 2 superposés). Ils étaient confortables et la place dans les chambres était tout juste suffisante. La cuisine ainsi que la salle à manger étaient propres, accessibles et pratiques. Il y avait même des jeux pour les enfants. Et les salles de bains/toilettes (hommes/femmes) étaient corrects. La résidence se trouvait à quelques minutes du ferry.
si vraiment je devais dire quelque chose, je proposerai de faire quelques logements en rdc pour les personnes ayant des difficultés à monter et descendre les escaliers.
Location, communal areas, staff
4 bed room a bit cramped for 4 adults with kit. Top bunk bed very uncomfortable, probably ok for a child but not for an adult. Was a bit like sleeping on padded cardboard
Location, staff and facilities
The mattress- I could feel the springs . It would benefit from a mattress topper
La posizione centrale
Struttura pulita, personale gentile,posizione ottima proprio sul porto. Consiglato!
Tutto
Niente
Ullapool è di per sé un posto da favola. L'ostello e la ragazza della reception ci hanno accolto con cordialità e calore. Le camere sono curate e pulite, la cucina in comune è dotata di tutto, pulita e la cura condivisa è un punto di forza. Grazie di tutto
Tutto benissimo
L’accueil, le calme et la propreté.
Great location
It was all good.
Posizione
Il costo pagato, la pulizia discutibile, il fatto che la Mattina abbiamo dovuto disfare i letti e portare le lenzuola nelle ceste e alla colazione ognuno si doveva poi lavare le stoviglie usate x una colazione pagata 6,5 £ cad. Le stoviglie, poi dovevano essere riposte al banco colazione così da poter essere riutilizzate da chi arrivava dopo. Ma l’igiene?!?!?
Location right on the waterfront. Good parking
No issue
I was impressed with the facilities. The toilets and showers were very clean and the shower especially was excellent with powerful pressure and hot water. Much appreciated after a hard day on the hills! The beds were also clean and comfortable. Also a special shout out to Fi on reception who provided a really friendly welcome.
There’s nothing I can think of that needs improving.
Située pile sur le front de mer, à quelques minutes à pied de tout, cette auberge de jeunesse acceuille tout type de voyageurs, tous très respectueux les uns des autres. Elle est ancienne et donc peu équipée de salles de bain ou de toilettes privées (seule notre chambre familiale en était pourvue), les communes sont sur le palier, hommes et femmes séparés. Les lits ont très propres, la salle de bain aussi, la chambre est franchement grande pour une auberge de jeunesse. La salle commune au rez-de-chaussée comprend tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner, mettre au frais, manger, se pauser avec un salon contenant livres, jeux et jouets. Tout est bien expliqué sur les arrivées et départs et le personnel est sympathique et souriant
Perfect youth hostel: good price, facilities, quiet, clean, lovely staff
Nothing
Der Empfang an der Reception war sehr freundlich. Die Gemeinschaftsräume sind gut organisiert und sehr sauber. Die Betten waren für Federkernmatratzen okay, wir haben alle gut geschlafen.
Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig und teilweise sehr klein. Leider haben wir eines der kleinsten Zimmer erwischt - es hatte gerade einmal Platz für 2 Betten und einen ganz schmalen Gang (eine Kofferbreite, d.h. man musst über den Koffer steigen, wenn man zum Bett wollte).
Excellent location, staff very knowledgeable and friendly excellent service. Room clean facilities clean
Ubicación frente al puerto, habitación con dos literas y baño en suite adecuada, sin lujos pero funcional.
Todo conforme a lo esperado.
Hostel přímo v přístavu. Čistý, výborně vybaveny, milý personál.
Great staff, thanks Sally. Very well organised hostel.
Very busy due to time of year.
Wir hatten 2 2er Zimmer, eines war toll mit Aussicht aufs Wasser, dafür aber Straßenlärm. Das andere war zum „Garten“ hin, aber so miniklein, dass die beiden Betten hintereinanderstanden. Die Selbstversorger-Küche war toll ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Auch die Waschmöglichkeiten ausreichend vorhanden und sehr sauber. Wir wurden sehr freundlich aufgenommen und uns wurde alles genau erklärt - super! Die Zudecken sind toll und dick genug, es gibt sogar Heizungen, auch auf den Fluren war es angenehm warm im Vergleich zu draußen. Die Handtücher waren schön fluffig.
Die Zimmertüren kann man absolut nicht leise schließen - sehr schade, denn so wird man auch in der Nacht immer mal wach, wenn jemand zur Toilette geht. Das Singen/Gröhlen von Straßenmusikern über mind. 2-3 Stunden und immer dieselben 2 Lieder war irgendwann etwas nervig, aber dafür kann die Unterkunft ja nichts. Immerhin um 22 h war dann draußen auch Ruhe.
Friendly, Perfect Location, good kitchen Equipment
Key for ddoor hard to used
Fabulous location and facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very welcomining staff, clean spaces and beautiful kitchen
Ottimo prezzo e posizione stupenda! Pulizia e ordine
Everything we needed was on hand
Can't think of anything
Camera in ostello sul lungomare. Letti a castello comodi. Ottima la accoglienza
Non era il massimo della pulizia ed il prezzo della camera essendo un ostello sembrerebbe un po’ eccessiva, ma comprendo il periodo stagionale
Widok z okna😉
The welcome we got from the staff at reception was great! The beds were nice and comfortable, the kitchen area was clean, the dry room/Washer was a god send to be honest. If i am back in Ullapool i wuld definetly stay here again!
Not much i didnt like to be honest!
Great setting on the harbour front. Really well organised, with a safe bike store, excellent drying room, fully-equipped kitchen. Super-helpful and friendly staff!
Great place for a quick overnight before the ferry. It has a small lounge to wait in if you arrive before the check in time, which was very handy! Excellent drying room for wet motorcycle gear! The staff were superb, and even found me a spare USB charger after mine died!
Nothing!
Perfect loch front location

Die Lage
Laute Schlafsäle und sehr abgenutzte Ausstattung
Sally ist sehr hilfsbereit und hat viele Tipps.Die Lage am Hafen mit super Aussicht, aber im Ort ist klasse. Von hier kann man viele Ausflüge machen. Sehr gemütlich eingerichtet.
MidgesGitter am Fenster wäre gut
clean and comfortable and for the price cant argue with the value. literally needed somewhere to arrive very late, grab few hours sleep thenshort walkto ferry next morning. staff were all amazing, friendly, went out of wayto answer queries and share knowledge of area could not praise them enough
Pokój z widokiem na port, przemiła obsługa. Przemiły pobyt :) Polecam!
La chambre avec vue mer, la gentillesse du personnel

Gut organisiertes Hostel, hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter
Das Peronal war ausserordentlich freundlich und hat uns viele lokale Empfehlungen abgegeben.
Toilets and showers, clean and roomy.
Room was very narrow and expensive for what it was. But practical and fine.
Fab location and very friendly.
Showers were new and having some issues.
Staff disponibile, posizione centrale, servizio colazione prenotabile
Ambiente rumoroso, rapporto qualita prezzo non adeguato
Excellent location at the shore, lovely surroundings. Also the hostel had everything.

Quite pricey for youth hostel vibe
The staff was really lovely, great location with beautiful view, very clean, I loved the stay very much! Thanks!Thank you for having separate dorm rooms woman/ mens only.

Great place but please book it directly through the hostel, booking.com makes it look like there's no spaces and you need to reserve the whole room for ridiculous amount of money!
The way booking.com has denied to cancel or change my reservation.
Grosses 4 Bett en suite Zimmer. / sehr nette Staff / Lage direkt am Hafen / gratis Parkplätze

Very friendly welcome
Room was far too small
Très bon accueil dans cette auberge de jeunesse. La salle commune (coin repas et coin salon) est très confortable et très bien équipée. Les sanitaires communs sont propres. La chambre pour 4 personnes est fonctionnelle.
Nous avons été surpris, tout comme les personnes présentes au même moment que nous, de devoir faire la vaisselle du petit déjeuner que nous avons payé sur place. C'est plutôt inhabituel. Peut-être est-ce utile de le préciser à l'achat.
Kitchen and lounge area very good.
Very friendly and helpful staff and great location
Travelling with 2 big dogs... Staff were great, if you arrive early they have a lounge you can use. We had a room due to having dogs... The view was of the Loch and dock. Loved the kitchen facilities, the staff were marvellous and showers good too.
Comfortable and central hostel with large common areas
La chambre minuscule et les matelas inconfortables
Very clean with a perfect location, and the staff were very friendly. We stayed in a range of accommodation options, all more expensive, during our NC500 cycle trip, and the Ullapool Youth Hostel still came out on top! Check out the local Fish and Chips!
Nothing
Amazing location with a nice pub a couple of doors away
Nothing to not like
Handy for ferry. Quiet.
Had to go to bed in the dark at 9.45 as people already asleep in the dorm. Could do with small discreet lights at each bedside?
Very centrtal and good views
Room too small and nowhere to store clothes for a long stay
Posizione ottima per prendere il traghetto per Stornoway. Ampia fascia oraria per fare il check-in e check-out. Camera pulita
Niente da dire
No nonsense with helpful staff

Szerintem az egyik legszebb hostel, a kilátás egyenesen a hegyekre és a tóra. A személyzet nagyon kedves volt, és a hostel is tiszta!
N/a
The people were very friendly, and helpful, breakfast was sufficient, The hostel was clean and well maintained .
We had requested twin beds but were surprised when we got 1 queen size one!
La posizione centrale. La pulizia. Lo staff disponibile e gentile.
Despite arriving early the hosts welcomed us and allowed us to store our bikes in the very secure bike shed just next to the hostel. The kitchen was very well equipped and had plenty of space, pans, crockery etc for everyone. There were enough toilets and showers for everyone so we didn’t have to wait for anything, although I think the hostel wasn’t full when we stayed. The location is also very central for everything and we really enjoyed our stay here. There’s also a small lounge available all day if you arrive early/ leave late.
Nothing, all was really good.
