10/10 Exceptional

The hostel was very convenient, even more convenient than it looked on the map. There were cafes and chemists within walkign distance and the train & bus stations were a 15 minute walk away. It was lovely to talk with other guests and the staff (shout out to Luna and all the staff for the directions, and friendliness). I booked a private room with ensuite, and am happy to say the shower was very powerful and the room clean and spacious. I would definitely come back.

Meh

The staff was curt, the beds like cardboard over springs. The place is clean, though the women’s lab was out of toilet paper in two stalls an entire day. Rooms are quite crowded.
Dawn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property allowed flexible check in due to delays in our trip. Booking was most likely mixed up with another as original booking was for 2 females in double bed booking. Check in receipt listed 2 males for one bed for occupancy of 2. Property location was what we were looking for along our journey traveling.

Basic hostel room with en-suite.

Basic hostel room, but with en-suite. Communal kitchen area Ok. Some noise late into the evening - banging doors, loud voices.

Room for Cleaning

A very dated looking building much in need of re-decoration. Despite that a friendly welcome and facilities adequate. However the room had not been cleaned with any care or attention. A very bad image for overseas guests to Scotland and SYHA should be ashamed. I do not mean their hard working staff but the head office who allow such shabiness I doubt they ewould recommend the place.
Bryan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good value but group noise is problem

Be aware that this facility often hosts large student groups who may well disturb your nightime peace and sleep. Otherwise, staff are excellent and while the 70s building is dated the place is tidy, clean and has a remarkably well equiped kitchen. Suggest reserving an ensuite bath if you travel as a couple.

Good Quality Hostal with helpful friendly staff.

Great staff. Good kitchen. Refillable bottled water fountain available. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Spacious lounge. Breakfast available. Only drawback, rooms are not very well insulated so can be noisy. I always carry earplugs so I can sleep.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Calm and peaceful hostel

Great location, nice and peaceful and calm but easy walking distance from the station and the town. The hostel had a lovely quiet calm atmosphere. The staff at reception was very friendly. The communal areas and facilities were spacious and very well equipped. The room was naturally basic, as expected, but comfy and clean and well appointed with things like sockets/USB points and bedside tables with reading lamps. I would stay here again.

Nice but noisy neighbors

While we enjoyed our room, we had families with kids on both sides of us and it sounded like they were doing gymnastics until 11pm

Top quality hostel.

A great youth hostel, comfy bed, spotlessly clean and quiet in a good area with an easy walk to the station. I'll definitely go again.

We booked to stay in July 2024 for wishing to attend a fantastic concert in the Town. By chance we were in Inverness in October 24 and keen for a place to stay, We got a last minute room at the hostel. It was dirty. This time we arrived with trepidation, totally unfounded. We left out bags after a friendly welcome, went to the concert - brilliant! Came back to find a spotless room. We would recommend the place and the kind staff. Moran Taing Inverness SYHA

Det er et vandrehjem, der er åbnet for grupper. Så vær forberedt på en del støj og uro
