Portree Youth Hostel

The Hosteling Scotland Portree location is a solid fine. It’s basic, no frills but functional. And as with any other hostel, depends a lot on the roommates you get. I stayed in a four bed female dorm with en suite bath. The bath did not have a working fan so it was always humid inside the room, but the shower was big and water pressure was great. However, any amount of shelves in there would have been nice. Beds are fine, not awful but not great. But functional. WiFi works in the room well too which was nice. Lockers are fine too but the top bunks definitely get the better bigger ones. The kitchen is good but can get very busy so time yourself accordingly. My room had a nice view of the mountains too. This is also right across the street from the car park which was easy access and easy access to town. Is this an incredible hostel? No. Is it functional and basic? Yes. I had bad roommates one night and then good ones the other two. Roommates make a big difference. I would consider staying again.

The location is convenient, close to the town centre/bus station. No staff on the property at night to provide service/supervise. I stayed in the male only room of this hostel for three nights. For 2nd nights, one of the roommate brought in a girl and made a lot of noise… THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHICH I WOULD EXPECT!

The location was clean and comfortable

Great location and staff. Rooms were nice and had a nice bathroom. Just wished the wifi worked in the rooms, other than just in the communal spaces.
