Nice wee hostel

Room was very clean and tidy and the bathrooms were clean as well. Only downside was that we couldn't use most of the kitchen facilities.

Okkeissimo

Prima volta in ostello!! Non poteva andare meglio!!!! Organizzato, pulito, spazioso nelle cucina....camera con letto a castello, anche se nella prenotazione mi portava il matrimoniale, ma non importa, questo e' un dettaglio, l'unica cosa negativa e' stato il riscaldamento nella camera che, noi era quasi impercettibile e qui di abbiamo avuto freddo.....ma per tutto il resto lo consiglio tanto....ben fatto allo staff e ai proprietari ( mi e' parso di capire fossero giapponesi/cinesi) davvero bravissimi.....
Cucina grande ed organizzatissima

Disappointing but liked cooking /dining space

Disappointing stay. Descriptions and photos they use in publicity do not match reality. Expected double bed, got two stacked single bunk beds. We did like, that, as a hostel the cooking and dining area was pleasant and well-equipped. Parking was in public space doen a steep hill or public stairs from the hotel. No on-premises or immediately nearby parking.

中国人开的青旅，啥都好沟通！

1.位置很好，就在主街，离游客中心步行不到5分钟 2.大黄色的建筑，你想忽略都不行。非常容易找到 3.住在1楼（其实是二楼啦）的双人间。上下床非常结实没有噪音 4.是中国人哦，我觉得是老板和老板娘啦。老板是香港人，爆炒食物非常香，还借电饭煲给我们，感激啊！老板娘是大连人，接到国人电话说租车出了问题，得夜晚12点半到，也立马说到了给电话给起床开门！（是的，10点半关门，需要进出得压5磅现金换门卡） 5.房费只能给现金。如果你不够现金，不要急！老板很好人哦！能以优惠的汇率换钱。你微信转钱付房费，老板完全接受。而且如果你现金不够，也可以通过微信换英镑。 强推

Go B&B for same price

Originally booked early in the year as it was a ‘double room’ for 2 nights at £50 total. Got there to find a bunk bed in a single room, not a double bed. Neither of us can use bunk beds so had to shift top mattress to floor to try and get a sleep. We were also charged £100 for the 2 nights unlike the original £50. I could have booked a db&b for just more than that at the time I booked. Why would I pay twice as much for a bunk bed and a shared bathroom? The fellow hostellers clearly were used to maid service the state they left the floors swimming with water after they cleaned themselves... had I paid £50 for this I would have possibly had a better view ..

Good hostel. I would have preferred a private room, but I did book late and it was probably peak tourist season. So that's my own fault.

Cheerful hostel right in town

Really enjoyed this hostel. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Very cheerful decoration with bright colors everywhere. Overall, quite clean. Lockers are a bit small (i.e. can't fit a whole bag in there) but really only downside. The kitchen area is huge so makes for easy cooking even during peak eating times. The location really can't be beat...right downtown in Portree. Easy access to buses, pubs, shopping etc. Really enjoyed staying at this hostel and would definitely stay here again.
