Located in Invermoriston, 39 km from Inverness Castle, Loch Ness Lochside Hostel - Over 16s Only provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a shared lounge. 40 km from Inverness Railway Station and 43 km from University of the Highlands and Islands, Inverness, the property offers a terrace and a bar. The accommodation features evening entertainment and free WiFi. Absolutely amazing hostel! I was supposed to stay just one night, but after meeting such awesome people on my first evening, I couldn’t help but stay another night — seriously, I blame it all on the amazing vibe there! The place itself is super clean, well-organized, and comfy — but that’s just the basics. What really makes it unforgettable is the atmosphere: a warm welcome, fun and friendly vibes, and incredible people from all over the world. And the location? Just wow — right on the shores of Loch Ness, with views that are straight-up breathtaking. Those two nights ended up being the absolute highlight of my whole trip. Can’t recommend it enough — I’ll definitely be back!
