They offer "hot shower" but charge 5 £ for it. The problem is that the shower wasn't warm more than 20 seconds! When I complained, they didn't look surprised. A place to avoid...

My time at the hostel was 2nd to none what made it festival was Javin he really looked after me. He was the host with the most. Ashley was also very hospitable. Looking forward to visiting again. There is also great cities and plenty of space. They also have dry and clean laundry machines.

La única lavandería de Portree está en la parte de atrás del hostal. Los encargados te cambian monedas y te venden detergente para lavar... y es lo único que hacen. El local de las lavadoras es el más sucio que he visto nunca (los dueños ni siquiera lo barren), las máquinas están en estado lamentable (dos no funcionan, y el hueco de recarga de las que sí funcionan es una cochambre). No laveis la ropa allí: os dará asco ponerosla después.

SPORCHISSIMO. Un incubo. Polvere e residui umani sui battiscopa delle stanza nero e spesso. La ragazza della camera a fianco ha trovato una cimice dei letti. Lenzuola poste direttamemte a contatto sui materassi. (nessum coprimaterasso). Un asciugamano in comune per asciugarsi le mani. I cuscini puzzavano di sudore. Il bagno era pulito solo superficialmente, ma in ogni angolo strati di sporco ovunque. Da evitare. Le foto che allego spiegano..Mai stata in un posto così..

Il personale alla reception è molto gentile e cordiale, i bagni in comune sono puliti e le stanze abbastanza spaziose. Purtroppo abbiamo sentito molto freddo perché le finestre sono state aperte tutta la notte. La cucina è grande e pulita. Molto spazio per tenere il cibo. Peccato per alcuni compagni di stanza che non hanno rispettato il silenzio notturno facendoci dormire male.

This hostel has changed hands since I was last here 5 years ago. The family running it are clearly doing fine - shame that there was a vibe of lacking in a little confidence checking us in! After that, communication was absolutely fine - able to check things with them, and a little "have a nice evening" as we went out for a wander after eating. If nobody was at reception during opening times, we could always find one of the staff - usually in the (huge, well equipped) self cater kitchen which we enjoyed using for breakfast/tea. We were in a 10 bed mixed gender dorm on the lower ground floor - decent amount of space for all 10 of us to move around, comfy bunks, opening a window provided adequate ventilation in warm days, there were enough toilets and showers on that floor for our dorm and the 2 other large dorms on that floor. Hostel is right in the middle of Portree, max. 2 minutes walk to local shops and the bus station.

I would not have stayed here if I could’ve booked elsewhere. I stayed here with Haggis Adventure tour, and unfortunately couldn’t choose where to stay. The shower had black and pink mould, the shower floor was filthy. Would be surprised if it was ever cleaned

La struttura necessita di grandi interventi di ristrutturazione e pulizia. I materassi vecchissimi ( non meno di 30 anni ) andrebbero sostituiti, così come le lenzuola estremamente consumate. E' vero che siamo in un ostello e bisogna adattarsi ma i letti dovrebbero essere decenti e le lenzuola pulite. Inoltre lo staff è inesistente, in camera un gruppo di ragazzi indiani che hanno fatto ****** tutta la notte senza farmi riposare. Inoltre dalla cucina arrivava una puzza di cibo Indiano nauseabonda; consiglio vivamente a questi ragazzi indiani di usare un pò le docce vista la scarsa igiene. Accoglienza inesistente, i titolari parlano poco inglese e ti parlano in cinese di conseguenza è impossibile comunicare con loro. Nota positiva: centrale.
