Facing the seafront in Kyleakin, Skye Backpackers features barbecue facilities. Among the various facilities are a garden and a shared lounge. Both free WiFi and private parking are available at the hostel.

Everything was neat and tidy, especially the kitchen. The bed was not as comfy as the one I had last year at Pitlochry Backpackers - this is relevant because they are part of the same organization. Did appreciate having two pillows though as at Pit. The breakfast was a good value at 3.50 sterling

The hostel provides guest rooms and dormitories with free WiFi access, as well as views of the sea and surrounding mountains. Some rooms have a TV, and most rooms have a private external/internal bathroom, while others have access to a shared bathroom. All of the rooms and dormitories provide bed linen.

Very clean room and bathroom. Unbelievable location, very great place to stay as a base on Isle of Skye. Staff was very friendly, the Scots, Italian and Lithuanian. Didn’t get names but very good workers.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Our first stay at a hostel. We had a four bed room for the three of us. We liked that we had our privacy. The kitchen facilities were adequate for a quick microwave meal. Good location, near the train station, grocery store and restaurants.

    We booked a superior room which was very large and recently refurbished to a high standard, the bathroom was very clean and the bed was large and comfortable. The hotel had a nice bar and the meals we had in the evening were good. The service was friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location for Skye and the surrounding area, parking for my motorbike was at the rear and there was plenty of room and was safe.
