+Location was very scenic. Right near the bus stop. Staff were very accommodating. I was a bit late for dinner one night but they managed to rustle me up some soup and chips.
−Not their fault but there was obviously a group of friends all in one room next to me and they were quite noisy so it was a bit difficult sleeping due to that

+Staying at the Great Glen Hostel in South Laggan was a fantastic experience, as its central location makes it the perfect base for hiking the Great Glen Way and exploring Loch Ness. The independent hostel features remarkably clean rooms, a spacious communal lounge, and a fully equipped guest kitchen alongside an excellent on-site restaurant. What truly sets this place apart is the wonderfully welcoming and helpful staff, whose great local insights and hospitality make every traveler feel instantly at home in the Highlands

“Maybe it’s good in high season, but my experience was not very positive”
+Bathrooms were clean and in excellent condition.
−The restaurant was closed. There was a small shop selling snacks but the prices were very high. No mains outlets near the beds. Motion sensors in the bathroom meant that I showered in the dark for a bit. I called ahead to ask if there was a dry room for laundry. I was told there was one. And there was, except that it was turned off most of the time, which I didn’t know, and the staff was not very accommodating to turning it on “for just one person”. The result was that my laundry did NOT dry overnight. Even though I had made clear that that was what I expected, they did not communicate this.

+Good communication. Clean and tidy. Nice atmosphere.
−Everything was good. It’s right next to a road so you can hear traffic, but it did not really bother me. Good overall experience.

“Unimpressive.”
+The location was great and so was the parking.
−The staff wasn't at all helpful. We arrived late in the afternoon. They gave us the key to our room, answered our questions as briefly as possible and left us to our own devices. Only when we were leaving did we realise there was a communal kitchen we could have made use of. In the evening we dined at the restaurant there; a meal which you have to pay for. The food was bland. Since breakfast is not included in the price we decided to have breakfast elsewhere the next morning. Thankfully we only stayed for one night. Such a pity as the place has great potential.
