The hostel is very rural, so you need to bring food or walk/drive a fair way to get something else. Midge screens on the windows were appreciated. We had a basin in the room with toilets and showers just down the corridor. There's plenty to do and see nearby.C Briers

We really enjoyed our stay at the Glencoe Youth Hostel. The location is great for seeing Glencoe/Fort William, especially if you want to do hiking in the area. The hostel's accommodations were just right for our needs, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay experience. We definitely recommend this hostel and would stay at it again!Ben
