The hole atmosphere puts off a comfy, loving, and hyper chill Vibes. The stuff we're out of this world. The managers Jay and Noelig operate the Lochside Hostel with the utmost professionalism that I had ever seen. The rest of the staff were stupendous, Gorgie, Kay, Thor, Sam, Tara, Ojivia, Liz, Emy, Leah, Dimas, Nico, Isaac, Peter and Nessie to name a few, they were so friendly and willing to help answer any question i had, and they kept the premises surgically cleaned, my room was so clean, it was shiny. The location is awesome for backpacking. And there was always very engaging nightly entertainment In short, Lake Monster Vibes

Just a few minutes’ walk from Fort Augustus on the edge of Loch Ness, this award-winning lodge offers four-star hostel accommodations with free Wi-Fi and free parking on site.

Friendly staff. Nice and chilled atmosphere. Rooms were comfy. For a "hostel" it felt more like a hotel.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location. Free and safe parking. Old World comfort - looks fantastic. Reception greeting was excellent; explaining everything we needed to know. Staff were lovely. Both rooms were good - clean, warm (with additional heater). Food at the restaurant was very tasy and the range of whisky was a delight. Prices were not too high. Breakfast the next morning - buffet, with a good range of well-cooked food to compliment the cerals and fruits and yoghourts.

    Very well located. The little cabin for family is really cosy, with private bathroom. We had a tv in the cabin, free wifi and even a safe. Prior to coming to the hostel, we received all instructions how to access and get the key for self checkin and checkout Large kitchen space and very clean too.

    Stayed 2 nights, the staff was fantastic and very helpful. I was surprised with the kitchen, big and fully equipped, certainly a bonus. Great location with great walks opportunities. And most importantly very nicely stocked up bar ;) There was also nice little outside space to enjoy fresh scottish air. Never waited for a bathroom or to use any of the facilities. Not going to comment on comforts of the sleep as it is a hostel. The bed itself was comfortable and the sheets clean and fresh and that's what I expected.

    Lovely, comfy hostel, friendly and helpful reception. Clean, comfy beds. Great lounge and seating areas, plus lovely clean kitchen. Well-stacked bar with Ness beers and a range of whiskies. Great location right off the Great Glen trail and a short walk from the Co-op. Vying for best hostel on this trip!!!! Would go back and highly recommend.

    A "classical" backpackers hostel, nice crowd, has its own charisma, otherwise - good value for money

    Warm and comfortable. Double bed super comfy. The bunk beds were a bit hard but probably more suitable for kids 😂 Great location - short walk to supermarket and the Loch Ness Inn for dinner. Communication from owner was excellent.

    Cheap and cheerful. Bit of a cross between a motel and a backpackers. But does the job nicely and it's cheap for the area. But I did have an en suite shower room.

    Cosy backpackers' hostel, sparse but nice. Perfect stay if you're on a budget. Really nice beers on tap, do request the Scottish recommendations.
