First time writing a review. This hostel is the cleanest I’ve ever been to in Europe, from the beds to the toilets, everything is perfect (beddings even smells like flower). Fell asleep instantly in the comfy bed after a nice shower in the spacious toilet, totally what I needed after a long day of hiking.

Glencoe Youth Hostel

The family room we stayed in had a double bed and three single bunk beds, providing ample space for our family to rest comfortably. Our puppy was welcomed with plenty of treats. One of the highlights of our stay was the warm and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Not only were the beds comfortable, but the cleanliness of the toilets also impressed us. It's always reassuring to find well-maintained facilities in a hostel setting. For those traveling by car, the availability of parking was a definite plus, making it convenient for us to come and go as needed. We also found plenty of hot food restaurants within a short 10 to 20-minute drive. Overall, our experience at Glencoe youth hostel was nothing short of fantastic. We can't wait to come back and make more memories here in the future!

Amazingly equipped kitchen and nice communal area. Really helpful staff - found a tin opener for us. The hostel was very clean, dry and warm and we had a good size private bathroom. Great location by river on edge of town and very handy for West Highland Way.

    I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

    Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.

    the atmosphere, from the friendly welcome to the décor and facilities, everything was beyond my expectations. This hostel is a great way to travel solo while meeting others. The facilities were also very clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The staff and volunteers were also really friendly and all over I had a fab time. The dormitory also was very safe for a solo traveller. It really was a home away from home vibe.
