2-Star Hotels in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom

It does the job but that's about it. We stayed 2 nights during our Isle of skye trip. The shared room was big enough for 4 people to move around but besides of 2 bunk beds there was absolutely nothing else in the room. A chair or two might have been great as when you are at the bottom bunk you can't sit on it as the top bunk is set to low. The beds were fairly comfortable but noise every time you moved. The bathrooms very supposedly cleaned but def weren't, the sign was just put up. The floors in the shower were dirty, only two hooks, so the chance of your stuff getting wet were pretty high. Also super annoying was the push and stop buttons in the shower, they turn of every 15 sec or so, it's annoying to take a shower. Same for the ”give it a good yank” in the toilets, most of the time the yank wasn't enough and the toilets didn't flush. The kitchen upstairs is small, we only stored something in the fridge but I wouldn't cook there as it's just waaaaay to small. The good thing is the location as it's right around the corner from the bus stop. If you simple need a place to stay overnight, I would say it's alright but still too expensive for what is offered.

Only stayed for one night Very convenient for driving. But the hotel is remote, it will be troublesome if there is no car And there are no street lights nearby at night, it will be a bit scary But drive ten minutes directly to the nearby city center Free parking downstairs, very good There is no elevator in the hotel, you can only carry your luggage upstairs. The hotel is self-check in At the beginning, the password error needs to call the customer service phone to deal with the password problem before opening the door. But the problem was solved soon.

Lovely place and family who run it. Took our booking late Friday night while we were travelling and were very accommodating. Just a shame we arrived too late to try out what looked like delicious Italian food! But breakfast in the morning was Goldilocks spot on, not too much and not too little. The USB sockets in the room were a nice touch and very handy, especially by the bedside and this is something a lot of places still overlook.

The check-in experience was odd - we were left on the street for quite a while until the man returned from checking other people in. Lots of Covid precautions are in place but we was made to feel like we were the walking infected. The man who checked us in was quite sharp in his tones and made me feel like we instantly made a mistake staying here. We were given a quick tour of room/kitchen area and left to it. The private double room with ensuite is what you expect of a hostel and having a tv was a bonus I wasn't expecting. The floorboards are quite frankly ridiculous, you can hear every movement from all over the hostel - you know exactly when someone has entered the building, when they're moving around upstairs (which they do a lot!) but the sound from the floor within our room was absurd. The thing I found really strange is that there are a lot of posters around written in capital letters with state the obvious messages on. Do not do this... Do this... Management says... You must... No this and that... etc etc etc. It certainly hasn't got that happy traveller vibe to it! We bought extra pillows with us - it is essential, you will never find thinner pillows! Little units next to the bed are useful but quickly looses their effect when you realise the doors are glued shut. The shower doesn't get hot and there is zero pressure so make sure you have some baby wipes on you. Towels are only available upon request, which was an annoying feature as the man that checks you in disappears. After check in, we couldn't find him for the rest of the evening so just went without and ended up using our old clothes for drying our hands etc. Breakfast was a very pleasant surprise. You are served by Sandra who offers tea, cereal and toast and is happy to keep on giving you as much as you would like. Sandra's husband is also around and gave lots of good tips about the local area. It's cheap and cheerful Lidl stuff, the food is fine but the tea has no taste. It's not their fault, but boy racers fly up and down the street especially at night making the loudest noises ever. The road is long, straight and has no stops so it is a boy racer paradise out there. The hostel isn't overly clean and the thing that jumps out the most is that there just feels like there's no love here. Lot's of covid precautions in place, but when there is dust and dirt in the rooms and kitchen from previous guests, the precautions are null. Sandra said that some of the building was new, you wouldn't believe it. It has been done in the absolute cheapest way possible and it just feels so run down. The decor is a range of browns, beiges and wood all over. Money isn't invested into the place and it's all just a bit sad. People rarely stay here for more than 1 night and that probably contributes to why their is very little love here. Lots of reviews on here say 'worth the money'. I have stayed in many, many places in the UK for less than £46 a night, this is not worth the money. If y

Ok so it’s a hostel ! But in this day and age i expect it to be cleaned between the different parties staying here ! It’s more than just the bedding needs changed and cleaned regularly ! Ok guests please keep the kitchen clean and tidy well it didn’t happen and the mould in the fridge and the general cleanliness of shared areas left a lot to be desired !! Sorry regardless of it being our responsibility when clearly it’s not being done staff should be ensuring health and safety is paramount especially given the current climate We cleaned up after ourselves but unless we went in with scrubbers, bleach and steam cleaners it would take days to clean up the mess that was the kitchen I was in a room two singles and a double and not enough room leftover to swing a cat never mind put all our gear bags etc we were literally on top of each other There’s no shared sitting room or anywhere other than the kitchen to relax, converse or do anything really ! The bathroom was ok apart from the bath panel Hanging off oh and the mould around the bath/shower but it was hot !
