Friendly helpful staff, perfectly adequate accommodation and spacious communal area.
This was a wonderful hostel. The check-in was very quick and the staff member on the desk was so friendly and helpful. We were two older couples in a quadruple room which was very comfortable. The kitchen was very big, modern, squeaky clean and had all the equipment and utensils required/needed. There were numerous tables in the dining area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and thoroughly recommend Glencoe Hostel.

The place needs a bit of work, but location is awesome! I stayed one night only and would recommend it.
Stayed here for a night in Glencoe before heading south...the check in was excellent and informative, the room was cozy and located right across from the showers, bathrooms were clean. Appreciated the wifi and location very much.
Excellent youth hostel with really friendly staff - Thomas and Freya were brilliant! Great amenities: Comfortable rooms and really clean showers and toilets. Nice cosy lounge, Great kitchen and dining area. Laundry facilities (£5) and great drying room. Snacks and drinks for sale. Parking and a few seating areas outside. Stunning location. Pub about 20 minutes walk away. Would definitely stay there again!
Friendly staff! The facility has clean common areas and washrooms, since they’re cleaned everyday. Kitchen is great. It’s too bad the hostel is mostly closed during the cleaning hours (no room and kitchen access) but then again you don’t come to Glencoe to stay inside :) They should fix the faucets and hand dryers in the washrooms since they don’t all work properly.
Its nice that they have coffee and tea available all day. I’d recommend jt and would stay here again
We stayed 4 nights in a private room. Overall, the hostel is spacious, clean, comfortable, and friendly. However, we did find the room really hot without much airflow. My only other complaint is that two nights we experienced issues with drunk adults. One of the adults was working the desk a few days later, which is not appropriate. These disturbances were not handled by the staff, which was unfortunate, as it disturbed the evening for all guests.
Missed first due to flight, paid for hotel for third night, very uncomfotable beds, very hot windows barely open. Not that clean, expected rustic but not this bad. Lost a lot of money due to conditions.

Établissement dans son jus mais fonctionnel, personnel sympa.
Chambre a l exterieur dans un tonneau bien agencé. Lit un peu petit quand on a l habitude de plus grand. Soucis parking plus de place a 19h garé sur une petite route
Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Elle. Breakfast was good. I enjoyed the surrounding area. The dryer room was a great thing especially for people like me who enjoy hiking
Clean good size rooms with pretty comfortable single beds.
Highly attentive staff, and great kitchen facilities. Lovely lounge to kick back in after a day in the hills.
Great hostel!
