Glen Nevis Youth Hostel was easilly my favourite hostel stop on my trip. It's out of the town, right in the Glen, and so close to Ben Nevis. The view from the terrace is beautiful! The kitchen is big and well-equipped, the lounge is nice with a fireplace and beautiful furniture - a nice spot for an afternoon glass! They also have quite nice bathrooms.

One of the best hostels I ever stayed at!! It feels like home, in an actual house well arranged to host guests. The living room is incredible and has a fireplace, which makes it so warm and cosy. The kitchen is a bit tiny but has everything you need and enough space to store every guest's food. The rooms were comfy and big enough. The staff and volunteers were very helpful and kind. Honestly one of the best hostels, I can't wait to comeback!

The perfect location for our trip to see the Jacobite (Hogwarts Express) at Glenfinnan. We were fortunate enough to have the Bunkhouse to ourselves which meant we didn't have to share the communal areas. Bonus! The host is wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

    Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.

    the atmosphere, from the friendly welcome to the décor and facilities, everything was beyond my expectations. This hostel is a great way to travel solo while meeting others. The facilities were also very clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The staff and volunteers were also really friendly and all over I had a fab time. The dormitory also was very safe for a solo traveller. It really was a home away from home vibe.
