Location was brilliant - there is a hiking trial directly across the road that links up to Ben Nevis. Car parking and drying room were were both used. Although drying room was quite full! Great restaurant 2 minutes down the road. Room was simple and neat with a bunk bed, 2 x single beds and small ensuite. Staff were very friendly.

I didn't like drunk people and staff talking all night outside of our room window

Location was brilliant to walk Ben Nevis

Nothing!

The hostel is spotlessly clean and the facilities are excellent. Drying room was a totally unexpected bonus for all my wet gear coming off the mountain. Couldn’t fault the hostel at all.

Everything was sooo CLEAN!

Some of the frying pans were a little worn from people using metal utensils, could be worth swapping spatulas to silicone as people can’t be trusted not to scratch teflon. 😂

I loved staying here, by far the nicest hostel environment I’ve experienced so far and clearly attracts great guests too, got chatting with almost everyone in my dorm. Super friendly staff and the facilities were so clean and comfortable. Room layout was thoughtful with more than enough space for 8 people to comfortably set up. Generous kitchen space and comfy communal areas, with a bus stop to town right outside the hostel. At the foot of the Ben too, what more could you want?! Loved the little library, pamphlet sections, and the leaflets to tell reception where you’re out hiking just in case, so thoughtful for solo travellers. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Fort William.

I was surprised how modern was everything in this hostel and how I felt at home in the bed and also in the common room. Ben Nevis just in front of the window. I hope i will get a chance to stay here again :)

Apparently the windows could only be opened slightly.

Compared to other hostels the Glen Nevis Youth Hostel felt very luxurious. The room was spacious, there were lockers beneath the beds, there was a little reading lamp, a tiny nightstand and two sockets and USB-charging ports. There were lots of showers and toilets and you can wash and dry your clothes for 9£. There is a hiking route that starts right at the hostel if you want to climb Ben Nevis. There‘s a restaurant that‘s almost right next to the hostel.

No supermarket close by

Amazing location and friendly staff. Big rooms and very clean in general! Love to the drying rooms, because they are a lifesaver with the Scottish rain.

A distance from city centre but the location is right in front of the side entrance to Ben Nevis.

Clean and quiet. Very helpful and friendly staffs. Large parking behind the premises.

A bit noisy in the corridor outside the room, mostly from fire doors banging shut - kept the children awake for a while.

Room was very clean and comfortable, member of staff on desk when we arrived was very helpful and welcoming.

I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

I had mixed feelings about the location. Okay if you have got a car but no local stores nearby. There is a local bus service but it doesn't operate in the evening and I found myself having to walk back from Fort William. If arriving on foot it would be a good idea to bring extra supplies otherwise you will need to make a three mile trip to get to the nearest supermarket. Okay if you have transport but clearly an inconvenience if you have to walk back from FW.

Spotlessly clean hostel. I was impressed with the reception area. Well laid out with a comfortable sitting/waiting area. Spacious and well equipped kitchen. Detailed information on local walks available at reception. Staff friendly and approachable.

Check in wasn't available until 4 or 5pm which was a bummer because we arrived super early. I wish it were normal time around 2pm or earlier. We had to sit and wait around for a long time.

Cute cottage vibe. Beds were SUPER comfy (we were in an all girls dorm probably about 8 beds or so?) Great views from outside. Coffee / tea available at all times in the kitchen. We did some grocery shopping for our hikes so it was nice to be able to prepare food / store groceries in the kitchen area. The hostel was also very clean.

The private room was amazing but the shared room was too hot.

Very clean, complete, comfortable place!
