The Hostelz.com Review
Glencoe Youth Hostel is located in one of the best parts of Scotland -- that is, if it's not raining and you can see the scenery. If you can, you're in for a treat.

The Location

The hostel is located a little bit out of town, which is fine if you're in a car. It's also very easy to find, with plenty of signs, so you won't have trouble. If you're on foot, it's a little bit of a hike, probably about half a mile or so from the centre of town. But if you've come to hike then that shouldn't be a problem -- you'll be fit and up to the task. There is plenty of parking outside if you are driving.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are incredibly clean and spacious. They even have a sink and a mirror, which is great for first thing in the morning or just to clean your teeth at night. There are even some double beds for family rooms. The showers are all new and very clean. Liquid soap and a towel are provided.

Common Spaces

The kitchen area is one of the best of the Scottish YHAs, with a long area for cooking that opens up directly on where you eat. It's really cosy and warm, great on a cold Scottish day, and there even seems to be food on the "free food" shelves. Plus they also give you free tea and coffee -- not a feature of every YHA.

Summary

The staff are really helpful and gave us some great details on walks to do around Glencoe, which were fabulous. In all, Glencoe Youth Hostel is a highly recommended place.

3  This hostel is a bit out of the way (ie a 25 minute walk from town!). When you get off the bus to Glencoe you will see a sign for the hostel. Start wakin in the direction it tells you and keep going. The hostel is clean, and has adequate facilities. It has a very large communal kitchen, a drying room , internet and laundry facilities. The showers are fairly clean. A family-oriented hostel, but fine for young travellers, too. Not the cool pub-going crowd.  , Canada ()
