I stayed at Fort Filliam Backpackers for eight nights during Hogmanay 2011/12. The hostel is quite close to the station (5-10 min walk), and a little bit up the hill, so there are nice views from the windows. The dorm was okay, not too big, but well sufficient. The beds are perhaps a little bit too hard, but I slept... More

Visited this September, traveling as couple and was there for two nights to climb Ben Nevis. The hostel is easy less than 5 minute walk from the station. The staff was prompt to reply to our e-mail even before we visited. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful, eager to share info on the town and Ben Nevis. The room... More

Very basic shared dorms and no storage for anything but saying that it was cheap. Good location in Fort William and ideal for Ben Nevis....met some colourful characters there too. The guy who owns/works there was pretty helpful about where to go and eat in the Town but it was good to chill out in the place and chat with... More

Good value and clean hostel just what was needed when walking the Great Glen Way More

Second visit here - first in 1995 and then back in 2011. You know what's really lovely? It hasn't changed one iota, and god bless it for that! It's warm, friendly, cosy, and welcoming. The staff are terrific, and despite my getting so drunk in town that night that I ended up locking myself out of my dorm half naked,... More

Don't stay here if you want a soulless clinical hotel or if you want to be alone and not interact with others. Don't stay here if you want everything to be new, perfect and shiny. Don't stay here if you can't walk / cycle uphill (actually don't come to NW Scotland if you don't like hills) DO stay here if... More

We stayed one night. Got drunk at the hostel. Got drunker in Fort William. Locked ourselves out of our room so slept in spare bed and on the couch. Staff seemed OK except for the guy who went off at me for making a hot chocolate at 2.00am. Can't really say much more about the place but I am sure... More

After having backpacked alone for 3 1/2 months around Europe, I've been to many hostels all around Europe...this is the first hostel that's actually a house and feels very cozy and quiet. They've got a dining room where you could sit by the couches and relax, or a backyard to read your book out in the sunshine. I've read the... More

All in all, hostel was okay enough for a one night stay. I personally didn't like the pervetric names on our beds, but some might find it amusing. The house was nice, but quite damp and not very clean. Service was friendly, so I definetly would say we were treated well. But personally, I am accustomed to a certain level... More
