I always stay here when I visit Inverness and have never been disappointed. The place is always clean and the facilities are very good. It's not right in town, but only a short walk. The staff are always friendly and helpful and Iwas able to take advantage of a promotion of stay 3 nights and pay for 2. Can't go wrong with that when you're on a budget

This hostel has an awesome atmosphere and is very close to the city center. It’s a short stroll to the train and pubs. It has a great kitchen and free coffee as well as tea. The colorful murals and comfy lounge areas make it seem like you are entering a home. I felt instantly welcomed and liked that the bunks had names with a story connected to Scotland.

Well, honestly, everything, I can't say I'm an expert on Hostals, that being said, the experience was like being in a second home, from the first moment getting a little tour of the house, to the afternoon tea and scones the staff invited me too in the eating area, I wasn't expecting much considering the affordability of the accommodation. This place has absolutely overwhelmed me with pleasure, like other hostels I've stayed at you can barely even get a hi how are you, here we had full blown conversations from local walks to bears in America. The living room was probably my favourite area , with the comfy settee's and cute fireplace, even got a couple of guitars on the blooming wall, and a piano near the bar. I truly can't thank Patrick and the girls enough for the hospitality and wonderful company.

All hostels in Inverness

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a wonderful stay at Bazpackers! The comfortable bunk bed ensured a good night's sleep, and the clean kitchen was a delight to use. The hostel's proximity to the train station made it easy to get around. But what really made my stay special was the wonderful host lady, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. One suggestion I do have is to implement a code system for the dorms

Everything you'd expect from a youth hostel. Bunk beds with a light each and charging point. Tv room with comfy chairs. Lockers for your stuff. Good location near supermarket, high st and train station. Kitchen was ample size for everyone to use.

Perfest location close to city centre. Nice and cozy atmosphere in this small homely hostel. Comfortable rooms and beds, good and clean facilities in bathrooms and kitchen. Nice and kind staff. Perfest for cyclists - bikes can be stored safely in the small garden with fine views! Will definitely recommend!

Staff were friendly. Facilities were good: small kitchen with most things you need and a relaxed common area. Great shared bathrooms. Not really any atmosphere in the hostel itself, but a decent place to base yourself in Inverness if not looking to meet people. Bathrooms were large, incredibly clean and had good lighting - probably one of the best hostel bathrooms I've stayed at in a while. Great location - very central.
