Bank Street Lodge is a nice, homey place to stay in the heart of Fort William!
The Location
Bank Street Lodge couldn't be more central if it tried; it is about a thirty-second walk to the main street, where you will find the visitors centre, a supermarket, and loads of other amenities. It is about a ten-minute walk to the bus and train stations, which are down toward the Morrisons supermarket.
Rooms and Bathrooms
There are loads of rooms here, and they are comfortable, but can be quite cramped. There isn't a lot of space to move around and to put your things. Each room has a lock on the door and a key for security.
The bathrooms are located outside of the dorms. There are female- and male-separated bathrooms with one toilet and two showers in each. The showers aren't the locked-door kind; they just have a curtain pulled over them, so people have a tendency to lock the bathroom door when they go in. There seems also to be a constant queue for the toilet. The other bathroom located near reception is a combined toilet and shower and this is usually with people in it during busy periods, so the bathroom for a full hostel can be an issue.
Common Spaces
The hostel has a dining room and in here there are tables and chairs where you can sit down, hang out, and eat. There is also a video player with a collection of old-school videos and some games to play. There is also loads of information on walking and things to do in the area in here, or you can ask at the reception and they can also give you some advice.
The kitchen is next door to this and is really quite small. While it has everything that you may need to cook here, it can get very congested in the kitchen from 5 to 10 p.m. while people are trying to cook dinner.
Summary
Bank Street Lodge is a comfortable (albeit a bit cramped at times) place to stay during your time in Fort William. On the upside, you do get to meet people, as you are always around them. The hostel has quite an eighties lodge feel to it, which is quite cool, and while the facilities aren't overly modern, they are in good condition and well maintained. This is a nice place to stay in Fort William!
