Perfect location with a nature reserve and so many walks right on the doorstep, lots of parking, fantastically powerful showers, super helpful and friendly team, very big thank you to Paige and all the Aviemore team for a lovely stay! I stayed for 5 nights in a private room with a wee breakfast every morning in Oxtober / November and it was perfect and incredibly good value. I can't wait to come back!Anita

We always enjoy our annual visit to Aviemore Youth Hostel. It's warm and friendly, and there is plenty of space for our group. This year, we were pleased to see additional electrical sockets (including USB charging points) in the rooms.Des
