The room is too small. Hard to open the suitcase. The location is nice since it's near the market and the train station.

Due to a change in schedule, I stayed an extra night. Although the kitchen facilities are not very big, they are fully equipped and have simple seasonings. Someone cleans them frequently, so it is very clean and tidy, which is good!

I had booked a single room for Friday 20th Oct, but had to cancel due to disrupted buses and ferries because of the weather conditions. I phoned up the hostel at 2pm and they told me to contact *********** - who then referred me to email the hostel! This was the reply I had from Russell, the manager at Black Isle Hostel: "Unfortunately you have booked through a third party website and were outside the cancellation time for the booking, so the booking will be charged according to the cancellation terms and conditions." I dare say that this made me both sad and angry - this was a journey that I had been looking forward to and this way it ruined a lot for me as well as taking GBP 81.40 from me! First, last and only booking in that place!!!

Stayed at the Black Isle Hostel in Inverness, rooms are very tight and so the beds,showers were clean,but some toilets looked absolutely terrible with flushing not working,an extremely small kitchen with just a couple of plates plus reception closing very early at 8 pm,towels to rent for £ 2. Will stay somewhere else next time,do not recommend it!

This is a budget hostel. It's basic and still manages to be pretty good. The hostel was clean and the facilities were great. Check in was simple, the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything you could need was there. Showers, a kitchen, a descent diningroom/lounge and secure storage for bikes. The location could not be better, right in the heart of Inverness.

Kitchen is poor considering the size. It barely fits 3 people in. One hob, one microwave and 1 portable oven. Guests weren't great at cleaning after themselves. Comfy bed. Great powerful and hot showers. Conveniently located next to train station.
