But it depends on your definition. I picked this place based soley on the nice location with the views over Pitlochry and I'm in 2 minds now whether it was the right choice for me personally. The location is certainly very pleasant and the views are as good as promised but the hostel itself is not really what I think... More

First the reception will be open late in the afternoon (and so hoping you can sleep there). And then the person at the desk might like you or not, if not you get that noticed. Later that day I get warned before going to kitchen that i need to clean the kitchen after using it, with a mad voice. I... More

Stayed here for one night with a friend during a cycling tour of Scotland. The hotel is exactly how it should be, efficient, clean and wecoming. Staff offered us half price tickets to the theatre upon arrival and although we were too tired to go, it was nice of them to offer. It felt more welcoming than the usual sign... More

Stayed here a lot in the early 1990s on family holidays and found it functional but very homely.

We were very warmly greeted upon arrival and slept in a quad room with en suite bathroom. The rooms are a little old, and the metal bunk beds were... More

There is a a large selection of board games, books and magazines available to read as well. The... More

Nothing to complain about here, good facilities and friendly staff running a good hostel.

Perched with a commanding view over the town you really do feel away from it here. The hostel is very clean and warm, good facilities and ease of access to the town.

One of the best SYHA hostels (well, most of them are excellent, to be honest)... A wonderful view, well furbished and cosy rooms, friendly staff, just try it!
