The location, common areas, and everything was amazing!! I loved staying here and will definitely do it again. I also really enjoyed the breakfast I was able to eat prior to starting my hike.

Location is the best for any hostel I've stayed in, and I've stayed in a few. Everything else was pretty standard for a hostel. Nothing special on the inside but staff were friendly and helpful.

What a lovely hostel, the location is great and well-placed on the West Highland Way as a much needed rest. The facilities were excellent, lovely lounge for relaxing as well having Loch Lomond to swim or dip one's toes. We made use of the washing...
