The place was dirty and needed a lot more improvement to receive guests... I wouldn't dare receive guests in my house in that state... Not enough space to park your car correctly

Where to begin. The listing says specifically there is a washing machine for guest use, when I asked the host he said there wasn't one and it must be a old listing. For the price, even though it is considered a hostel, the washer should be available. I was counting on it and instead I get to spend the next morning doing laundry at the laundry mat. There are also mixed instructions all over about the wifi (different ways to access and wifi names,) and where to put the keys (leave in door, but there's a hanging rack in the lobby area.) One bed was comfortable but the two twins were not.

It was easy to find, check in and such. Reasonably clean.

Noisy building , we could here upstairs walking, showers, talking. We didn't get peace until 1am. Sheets were cheap, pillow flat and no coffee sachets provided.

Location was suitable for getting around Inverness.

The owner does not care about the shared kitchen. The cleaner only cleans the rooms. Unfortunately, not everyone leaves the kitchen tidy and leaves. To use the frying pan we had to wash it after someone (which was not pleasant and I think it is not our job). Plus there was a clogged drain in the bathroom.

Well-heated house, new airtight windows without mold (which is not obvious in Scotland). Good location in the beautiful town of Iverness. Good price-quality ratio.

Lack of plug sockets/usb charging. Mattress could be better!

Location & price.

We booked the hostel for the facilities it provides. But another room was arranged by the hosts in another hostel as an alternative and it was not having the facilities promised.. We were not even able to fill water in the kettle provided in the new room as the kettle size was bigger than the wash basin size. The new place booked also didn't have the kitchen which the hostel provides and we had planned everything accordingly. And when I called the hosts for the kitchen and other facilities he just said that you are getting an ensuite be happy with that or else you can go to other hotels and pay around 150 pounds for the same. The new room also had small spider in it.

As the host said there was a pipe burst in the room we booked, they arranged another room in another place but it didn't have all those facilities mentioned such as the kitchen. Still the hosts requested us to call in the morning when we needed the kitchen then they told us to travel to the original place which we booked to use the kitchen. Thanks for this it was very helpful but it also led to a delay of about 45 mins to one hour in our trip.

The kitchen was a little dirty; there was a dirty plate sat out the entire time I was there, there was only one fork and spoon and the spoon had sticky stuff all over it. Pots were dirty. The ‘private bathroom’ I had was a bathroom accessible to all guests but just had a small sticker saying “room 2 only” on it. The floorboards are very creaky and you can hear other guests a lot of the time.

It was fine for a one night stay, I had a room to myself and it was pleasant enough. Bedroom was clean. Bathroom was clean.

Stayed in March 2024

Was no tv in room. And unfortunately myself and other guests had to use phone lights in the morning to use the facilities in the kitchen as all the lights in place had fused. No staff answered message until long after leaving property

Place was ok for a short stay.

Stayed in October 2023

A bad smell in the room, windows were locked. There was furthermore too much heat and we had to switch off the radiators ourselves cause it was impossible to sleep (we were told the system was centralised).

Nice room with cozy private bathroom

The building was unloved and could have been so much more inviting with just a little care and attention.

Hill view house was reasonably priced in a good location.

We've stayed several times before and this time standards have dropped, I know it's a hostel but at this price I at least expect tea and coffee making facilities in the kitchen. There was no tea, coffee, or milk in the kitchen. Also a notice to wash up after using cups etc but there was no washing up liquid. At this price you need to keep the kitchen in a hostel topped up with essentials. We wont stay again.

On arrival I was absolutely stunned at the state of the place, the grounds looked like it was a fly tippers paradise! I wish I'd bought an army of cleaning materials with me just to be sure that the surfaces in the shared kitchen were clean.

Can't say anything positive apart from that it had car parking facilities

Kitchen was basic. There was no hot water in kitchen or bathroom for the night we stayed in. I did complain, someone came and started the boiler but hot water did not came to tabs.. So we left without bath.

Location, Easy check in and out.

Stayed in August 2023

the kitchen is deplorable in terms of hygiene. I threw away moldy yogurts that were several months old. no furniture is cleaned. we didn't have a fork half the stay. And no staff to talk to about it.

the location was very well located 15 minutes from the center along the Ness.

There was no WiFi in our room (room 4). Unfortunately the bath was out of order, and the sink was blocked and took a long time to drain. The shower worked fine in the evening, but there was no hot water after around 7am in the morning.

The room was a nice big size for our family and the beds were clean and comfortable, while the bathroom provided extra room and was big enough for us all to wash. The location and on site parking was also very convenient.

Stayed in July 2023

The room smelled of smoke. The shower head kept falling. No soap in the bathroom. The towels for showering were the size of hand towels. And there was junk literally everywhere on the property.

After hillwalking in the heat all day we were desperate for a shower and a cool, midge-free place to stay. though we were travelling in our camper van we opted for a night here. it delivered on the shower and cool place to stay but the place is bare minimum.

Stayed in June 2023

The outside space was non existent and the weather amazing no fun having to sit in room on a lovely evening or early morning. Outside space looked like a building site and seemingly abandoned cars. No drying up cloths to finish our washing up.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable

Didn’t have a good experience though, as there was no water at the property, got stuck whilst taking a bath and the host didn’t know how to help, just answered I don’t know what to do.

The location and cleanliness of the property.

While I appreciate this runs like a hostel, the facilities could have been better. The room initially seemed OK, but once you walked around barefoot or in socks it was clear the floor of both the bedroom and shower room were not fully clean. The air vent in the shower room was filthy with dust. While I accept this is low budget place, there wasn't even soap for handwashng! Amazing given COVID & all other germs are still out there. The shower head was poor and the controls for the shower swivelled around completely, meaning it took 10 minutes to just try and get it to a temperature that wouldn't burn you. The shower leaked out onto the bathroom floor. A hairdryer would have been nice to have in the room. Only half of the spot light bulbs in the room worked. The bed was creaky and the mattress soft. Only 1 pillow per bed and no spares if needed. The floors creaked, the door handles squeaked (no sneaking to the loo in the night).And you could hear the noise of conversation from other rooms.

Onsite parking. Large kitchen available for use. Spacious enough but simple triple room.

Stayed in May 2023

The shower in Room 3 is not fit for purpose. It began by being very cold and changed to dangerously hot. Controls not clear. Very difficult. A few minor items to attend to:- No tea towels to dry dishes. No bottle opener or corkscrew. No TV controller. No instructions for TV or DAB radio. The mixer tap in the kitchen is loose and wobbly. The unit would benefit from an information sheet/map to identify the nearest food shop and pub.

Clean, comfortable and quiet. A pleasant hostel and I would be happy to visit again.
