West Highland Lodge, hotel in Kinlochleven

Overlooking the scenic Highland village of Kinlochleven, West Highland Lodge offers peaceful hostel style accommodation. Free WiFi is accessible throughout.

Overall ok budget accomodation, near the centre (but that's quite easy in a small town), and fair enough to crash down after a long hike. The kitchen is well equipped, the showers are hot, there's a comfortable tv lounge and a dry room available.

    Very convenient lodge in a quiet environment. We felt as if we were youngsters in a small youth hostel, and we enjoyed it. The common parts were very clean and practical. Our daughter loved observing the deers nearby!

    Very well equipped kitchen and dining room. Decent shower in the room and bunk beds were comfy. Nice location to explore Kinlochleven - the walk up to the Grey Mare's Tail is well worth doing. There wasn't a lockable shed, but the staff kindly let me store my bike indoors. I'm sure it would have been safe outside anyway.

    The rooms were very clean and well suited for familys with en-suite bathrooms and full bedding provided. The community kitchen was great with many appliances, fridges, grocery sharing and cake leftovers from a baking contest. It was nice to cook there and meet new people. The entry by password was convenient. Blackwater Hostel is an above the average hostel for sure.

    very clean and tidy. the drying room was excellent after a day hiking the whw in the rain. great location for the whw and dinner in the evening. I’ve stayed in quite a few hostels and I thought this one was particularly clean and well serviced. i liked the fact that it was well serviced - quick and easy. staff were very responsive on booking.com
