Saucy Mary's is a sea view facing hostel located in Kyleakin on the beautiful Isle of Skye close to the Skye Bridge. We offer accommodation for individual travellers, families and groups.

Hostel manager was very rude and insulting, room had holes in the wall, paid for a private room that cost just as much as a hotel and it wasn’t very private left after 1 night instead of the 3 booked.

Located in Broadford, 14 km from Kyle of Lochalsh, Skye Basecamp Hostel, Broadford Bay, Isle of Skye provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

This accommodation has changed my viewpoint regarding hostels. Booked entire room for family as not much availability in Skye. Very pleasantly surprised. Excellently managed. Nice powerful showers. Location is brilliant for those wanting to move around the island, especially if visiting Elgol for visit to Loch Coruisk during itinerary.

Set in Torrin and within 24 km of Kyle of Lochalsh, Torrin Bunkhouse features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The hostel has family rooms.

A quiet place in a great location. I arrived late in the evening so could not appreciate the scenery until the next morning, which was a special treat. Communication with the hostel warden was flawless - all the info was provided in advance. I'd stay again.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The hostel is in a fantastic location, the rooms are clean and bright and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The bunk beds are fixed to the walls so you don't get shaken about when the person in the other bunk turns over or gets out of bed.

    This is Hostel. Basic. Good for one-two nights stay during trip at Sky . Personel is very nice, friendly and helpful. Room was clean enough to stay safe:) SO as bathroom. Heater was working properly so room was worm a while after we switch it on. Of course everything probably need solid renew but ...considering prices we seen around was worth money we spend.

    I've stayed at a few Backpackers hostels so I know what to expect. For the solo traveller who works outdoors, I always find the accommodation to be satisfactory for the price. The rooms and shower facilities are perfectly adequate and the kitchen area is always kept clean and tidy. Also, the woman on the front desk was super friendly and helpful!

    Room was good. It had 2 bunk beds which were not too bad. Location of the hostel was very nice. There was a small pantry consists of microwave and a kettle. Tea bags, coffee and sugar were also provided.

    It was a cheap hostel, so I'm not expecting the best of conditions. Nevertheless, it was clean, people are friendly, with a great location and view to skye bridge, in the lovely place of Kyleakin.

    Excellent staff and good facilities. Having also stayed in the nearby hostel I prefer Saucy Mary's as the bunk beds are better designed and easier and safer to get into.
