The hostel was located close to the nearest grocery store, so that was convenient, but it's a bit of a walk from the train station if you're planning to carry lots of luggage. The single room was adequate, but very basic. The kitchen was very good, although the system of tagging food was different (I've been to hostels where they provide baskets that you tag with your food, not tagging every single item).

4/10 Fair

Good value but group noise is problem

Be aware that this facility often hosts large student groups who may well disturb your nightime peace and sleep. Otherwise, staff are excellent and while the 70s building is dated the place is tidy, clean and has a remarkably well equiped kitchen. Suggest reserving an ensuite bath if you travel as a couple.

We stayed at Inverness for a few nights and happy with private room, kitchen/dining facilities and laundry. But honestly our highlight was George the cat. If only every accommodation had a resident cat the world would be a far better place.

The hostel was very convenient, even more convenient than it looked on the map. There were cafes and chemists within walkign distance and the train & bus stations were a 15 minute walk away. It was lovely to talk with other guests and the staff (shout out to Luna and all the staff for the directions, and friendliness). I booked a private room with ensuite, and am happy to say the shower was very powerful and the room clean and spacious. I would definitely come back.

Meh

The staff was curt, the beds like cardboard over springs. The place is clean, though the women’s lab was out of toilet paper in two stalls an entire day. Rooms are quite crowded.

Property allowed flexible check in due to delays in our trip. Booking was most likely mixed up with another as original booking was for 2 females in double bed booking. Check in receipt listed 2 males for one bed for occupancy of 2. Property location was what we were looking for along our journey traveling.

10/10 Exceptional

We were very impressed by our stay here. It was very nice to have access to the kitchen for our dinner and they had a very nicely priced breakfast available for us in the morning, which was extra nice because we needed to leave early. I would say that the location is "kind of" walkable. You definitely can walk to a grocery store and some restaurants, but it was a bit further than would strictly be called convenient. It was a nice walk though! The neighborhood is very nice and there are sidewalks the whole way. The room was great, the beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, and it was just what we needed!

Surprised by the single bed in the dorm. I don’t have to have anyone sleeping above me. Barely any plug sockets - was two by the door for a room of 4 people. The bedside lamp was very loud. You can tell the hostel has been around a while but still clean and friendly staff. Big communal kitchen and lots of seating. Would recommend again.
