Stayed here after a gruelling walk from Rowardennan to Crainlarich. Stayed in one of the private rooms, which was good, but the beds seem to squeek any time you move. The gents toilet was away round a corner from our room which seemed a bit strange. My first experience in a Youth Hostel and thus cannot comment on how it... More

I stayed at this hostel two times in the same week but had I known I would not have spent a second night there. I was at the end of a 7-day road trip so I wanted a little comfort and decided to upgrade to a private room, and that was the worst-spent £48 of my trip! I was assigned... More

If you want to explore the fantastic hills around Crianlarich, this is a fantastic location - you can literally walk from the front door on to some wonderful Munros. The hostel is clean, the dorms are fairly spacious, the bunk-beds are adequate but not particularly comfortable (take an extra pillow if you can!), the communal ablutions are absolutely fine and...

We stayed here in February 2013, and found it clean and spacious. We had a big private room with a single bunk over a double bed, for little more than a standard dorm bunk per person. The room was clean, had a sink, lots of hangers on rails for hanging clothes, a nice window, and the bed was comfortable. The... More

Had a very enjoyable stay at the hostel. Staff were very pleasent and accommodating throughout our stay. They drying room also came in very handy. Only niggle, it would be nice if you didn't get kicked out at 10:30 if your staying more than one night. SYHA could also do with looking at their pricing structure for the Internet, £3... More

When we arrived I felt like we were being an annoyance. The guy at reception did not offer to tell us anything about services or breakfast etc, we had to ask for all the info. Our room was spacious and clean, the bathroom was clean. Our door did not lock and someone did come in (accidently). The kitchen is self... More

Crianlarich is in a beautiful setting and is a very charming village. The bed was comfortable and the room a decent size, although the bathroom is very small. One slight annoyance is no phone connection to reception from the room - and the phone in the hallway wasn't connected, meaning I had to wonder off and find a staff member... More

Nice spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds. Clean and modern showers and toilets. One of the best hostels on the WHW. Unfortunately there is a lack of service quality: At check-in you are asked for your (exact!) breakfast time. When you arrive next morning at the breakfast room, nothing is prepared. Even after 15 minutes waiting there was no... More

Initial impressions were tainted by the stand-off-ish staff and the fact that they don't open until 3.30pm so we had to sit outside on the grass waiting for the doors to open. None of this mattered too much though, as I was in a group and we decided to relax and enjoy the rest after our 20km walk. The rooms... More
