Ballater Hostel

Great hostel. Rooms are warm, showers are hot and beds comfy. Secure storage for bikes.

Dominique and Daniel are the sweetest. Super knowledgeable about the area and you can tell they care about their guests and the space. Everything was clean and well cared for and they even think of extra touches like spare blankets, lists of what’s open what days and plenty of guide books and maps. Absolutely loved my stay.

This is a fantastic hostel, spotlessly clean. There is all you could want within and around the hostel. The rooms are good with up to 3 bunk beds that all have a bedside light and charging points. They all have an en-suite toilet and shower room.

We loved staying at Ballater Hostel. It feels like home, clean, cozy and super friendly staff. The town is lovely as well. 10/10 ❤️

Good hostel with very nice staff! The showers are warm, there's free tea, hot chocolate and instant coffee available and the beds are nice. And it doesn't feel too touristy there - simply put it's a really nice place and I enjoyed my stay there very much :)

This is a fantastic hostel that is well equipped and spotlessly clean. There is all you could want in the kitchen/come lounge area with free tea and coffee always available. The rooms are good with up to 3 bunk beds that all have a bedside light and charging points. They all have an en-suite toilet and shower room. Dominique is extremely friendly and a great source of local information.

Group of 6 of us on a mountain bike weekend. I have stayed in many hostels over the years and this one certainly stands out. The hostel was very clean with great shower, big kitchen, well equipped, had a store to keep our bikes. Dominique and Daniel couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. I left a pair of shoes behind and Dominique kindly posted them back to me. Would thoroughly recommend this hostel in the beautiful town of Ballater.

Comfortable and friendly hostel in town centre. |Well equipped common areas. Great bedrooms with en suite facilities and brilliant showers. |The location is ideal for so many areas - we were a group doing hills. The choice within east driving was excellent. |We will go back again and can highly recommend.
