The negative. This hostel along with other accommodation in the area appears to inflate prices depending on what local events are occurring.On this occasion I paid 250 pounds for 3 nights accommodation. Other guests were horrified at the cost in relation to what you got. The good. Beds were comfortable. Black out blinds very welcome. Room a nice Temperature.Common area and kitchen extremely nice. Especially the Kitchen. Needs improvement. Shared shower facilities. Therefore you need to get changed in the shower cubicle . To do that you need to put your towel down on the wet cubicle floor . You get issued with one towel on arrival. Having used the shower in the morning and then having returned from the loch Ness Marathon I was hoping for a fresh towel. The response from the worker on asking . Was she appeared flustered and began shouting. Had I not already checked out. No was my reply I check out the following day. The response was that I have to pay another 5 pounds. I politely explained that having paid 250 pounds for three nights I felt it unfair. In respect of the showers adjacent to room 1 and 2. Out of three showers . One barely worked. The 2nd one had a broken on off twist handle.And the 3rd was fine. Overall Cleanliness Kitchen beds good . Showers poor . With exception off one staff member polite and professional. Depending on when you travel could be exceptional value to extremely poor value as mine was on this occasion. It was only the accommodation in the locality where prices were substantially increased .Bars and restaurants remained the same. What does this mean.Only the well healed get to attend events disadvantaging others.

Wonderful boutique style hostel with a comfortable bed complete with reading lamp, USB plug and privacy curtain. Beautiful views from room and back courtyard. Great water pressure in modern, rain style showers. Derek was so helpful and welcoming and had wonderful suggestions to explore Inverness. Easy walk to restaurants, bars, and River front - but far enough away for a quiet, cozy nights sleep. Will book again!

The location is great and I was shown the place by Emmanuel. There are only a few rooms which make it more friendly. The bed was comfy and pretty spacious and I enjoyed the curtains for privacy. The bathroom towel was free (in other hostel you have to pay). You can walk to the town, it’s only 5min away. The staff working there are very nice. It would be great to have a towel rail near our bed :)
