It was really fun and relaxing to stay in such a secure environment. The fact that it seems to be a dorm the rest of the year make the room really appropriate and comfortable for a stay and give a lot of intimacy which is really great.LABosson

I always enjoy staying at the Perth Hostel at Perth College (University of the Highlands and Islands). The rooms are comfortable, with ensuite facilities and the kitchens are well equipped. The car park iver very expansive, so no problems. The hostel is a half-hour's walk from the centre of Perth, with a supermarket half-way.PiperBob

It was great to arrive after a long day sightseeing and travelling (from Tobermory) to be able to park close to my room and receive such a friendly welcome. The accommodation is much better than when I was a student!Great to come back to after a busy day sightseeing and get a good nights sleepPhilM27

I really enjoyed staying at Perth Hostel. We had a fast and informative check-in which allowed us to take a much needed shower before getting our laundry done easily within the facility. The bedrooms are clean and cosy with a private bathroom. It wasn't too hard walking from the train station, but it was up a big hill.Jasmine

This seasonal hostel is located in the student accommodation of UHI. I stayed in a private room with en-suite facilities. Very good value for money in a place like Perth.Sandy

It was such a good 3 days break that I immediately looked at future events in Perthshire so that I can swiftly return for a holiday. It also encouraged me to consider a multi-hostel & destination trip / longer holiday using Hostels in Scotland, purely based on this very positive experience. I can recapture my youth and memories from time at University of Aberdeen, which I thought was impossible after 5 years of ill-health. Thank youLou Brough

Four people using Perth hostel as a base for a motorcycle tour. The only issue is that there are few places to eat within the immediate area. Not the fault of the hostel. In every other aspect it was perfect.Paul Abraham

When I was there I feel welcomed and good supported from the staff who is friendly and open to help.The room I was in was really neat and it was so nice to have so much storage to put my luggage and things I had with me.Furthermore, I enjoyed the common room and kitchen, because there was all the basics things as cooker, oven, cuttlery, frying pan and other things to cook for myself. It is near to the nature and around 15 minutes with the bike to the city centre.Leon

Basic and good value accomodation in great location, with very good service from the Scottish Hostels team. Would recommend for a short stay, the property and facilities were all in good condition and well maintained, better than many mid price hotels.Chris123

The Perth hostel was great, easy to get to from the A9 and therefore easy to get back out and continue my journey the next day. Room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.Cath Wright
Reasons to visit
In Central Scotland on the banks of the River Tay, and known for its natural beauty, Perth is the perfect base to explore everything that the surrounding area has to offer. Local attractions include Scone Palace, Perth Concert Hall, Horsecross Theatre and Perth Museum & Art Gallery. The surrounding countryside plays host to a wide array of wildlife, with ospreys and red squirrels often seen at Loch of the Lowes. Perthshire is renowned for adventure sports, shopping and whisky. The Famous Grouse Experience is in the nearby town of Crieff and is well worth a visit.
Guests staying at the hostel can also access the leisure facilities at nearby Perth College - including a climbing wall for the more adventurous.
