Inverness Student Hotel

Good wee hostel. Staff brilliant, prices excellent for the area and had all the facilities I needed. Only complaint is it was really cold the first night (end of October in a fully occupied 6 bed dorm) but easily fixed with cosy pyjamas. Nice relaxed feel, Will use again if I’m in the area ☺️

This hostel is close to the city center. The rooms are relatively clean, but there are no lockers, and the stairs to the upper bunks are a bit difficult to climb. The common areas are nicely decorated, but the furniture is old. The shower room had a strange smell. The male staff at the counter is a bit unfriendly.

Location is pretty local and around 15 minutes to walk from the main station. The staff members were friendly, the luggage storage is sadly only the sofa in the common room (it's for free as guest!), the common kitchen and living area is lovely decorated just a little bit to small. The same for the room, my bed was very comfortable. Just missed the curtain and a bit more distance between the beds.

Everything was absolutely amazing! My room and bed were super comfy. I never struggled to use the bathroom or the shower despite of the shared bathrooms. The staff is really nice! And they have a full kitchen and cool common areas. It is also super well located so you can reach anywhere in town in tops 15min. All of that for a super fair price!

Very clean hostel with friendly staff. I was lucky to get a room to myself for one night, and the next day shared with four other travelers – had great conversations. After checkout, I could still use the common area for my meetings without any issue. Highly recommend!!

A nice place, friendly staff, great atmosphere in the common rooms. Could do with some work on the toilets - all the seats slide off and one of the flush handles is loose. Overall good value for money though.

Amazing hostel! One of the best places to stay at we found in Scotland so far.The kitchen is stunning & has great equipment and the staff is super kind and helpful as well .Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!!! Some small downsides: - small showers, hard to change in there - 2 toilets downstairs, some waiting time sometimes

Well equipped kitchen, free tea and coffee. Good communication at the reception. Acceptable accommodation for travellers on shoestring budget. Night porter/security staff available to let you in after hours. Toilets and washrooms are clean but a bit cramped. The dormitories are no better. No lockers or bedside lights and storage space for luggage non-existent. That said they do offer a left luggage storage facility at reception. Pleasant lounge area with board games and a comfortable sofa.

Decent place to sleep in Inverness. It's centrally located near the train and bus stations, pubs, shops, restaurants, Inverness Castle. Home-like common rooms where you can easily meet others with free coffee and tea with milk included! Two pillows are included on each bed. Great for people like me who think regular hostel pillows are too flat. Booking the hostel involved extra legwork as Hostelworld and the hostel's website didn't show any available beds, but Hostelbookers showed an available bed. Probably best to call the hostel about availability. A £10 key deposit or photo ID is required. Best to leave an ID that is NOT your passport. There's a weird curfew where the front door is locked outside the hours of 7am to 2:30am. As for the negatives...the 10-bed mixed dorm room was too small. There was no underbed storage space. When everyone has their backpacks down and their crap spread out, it left very little floor space. Only one power strip in the room which was always filled with phones needing charging. No lockers in the room. You can store your valuables with the reception desk. However when I tried to retrieve something after midnight, the person on duty didn't have the key so I had to wait in the morning to get it back. Only two toilets on the floor. And one of them wasn't in service due to no one removing the painting equipment inside. The kitchen was crowded around dinner times. When the hostel is fully booked, as it was when I was there, the kitchen is just too small to handle the capacity. Overall, I would've enjoyed the hostel more if it weren't fully booked.

Excellent customer service, safe place, clean facilities, comfortable rooms, well-stocked kitchen, and tours available. The place is not as pristine as shown, but comfy and lived in. The front desk staff were polite and accommodating to walk-ins (unlike the hostel next door). Excellent customer service, safe place, clean facilities, . Provided us with a handy, dandy map with suggestions. I stayed in a women's room with 6 beds the first night, which was tidy though the pillow was clumpy and uncomfortable. The second night in the mixed room was much better, comfortable bed and pillow. They have sheet pouches instead of bedsheets which was very different than other hostel bed. On the down side, like most hostels/hotels, I don't believe they wash their duvet covers after each use.

Popped in here because my travel companions told me staying at a hostel was "part of the travel experience." I'm an adult with a job, why not find a hotel? Nope. Part of the experience. Okay, here we go. The hostel is quite clean, and endeavors to keep it that way. There is a modest kitchen with most of the amenities, free WiFi, an available breakfast, a helpful staff, and options for longer lodging if you need it. There is also a laundry service available for a modest fee. In addition to a knowledgable staff, there are also several maps, booklets for tourism, and pamphlets for attractions available in several languages. One note: There is limited parking. If you are driving in to see Inverness, you may want to call ahead.
