Skye Backpackers Hostel - Kyleakin

The hostel's location at the mouth of the Isle of Skye offered amazing views over the waters. The darling old building added a touch of charm to our experience. Despite being a party of middle-aged individuals, we felt welcomed and treated with care and respect. The lounge area provided a great spot to relax and admire the beautiful sunsets. The bed was comfy and the kitchen well-equipped, making it easy to prepare our own meals. The free tea and coffee were a nice touch. we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this interesting backpackers to others.

Location

It was a little stuffy

The view from the property was absolutely stunning, with a perfect vantage point of the Skye bridge. I also appreciated that towels were provided in the double room with a sea view, saving me from having to bring my own. the location was great for exploring the area, with free parking nearby and a bar just a few meters away.

The main downside was the lack of toilets and showers for the entire hostel. With only one toilet per floor, it could be quite inconvenient, especially when the hostel was busy.

Location was great, being close to the bridge to the Isle of Skye made it convenient for exploring the island. the staff were friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or requests. Plus, the kitchen facilities were excellent, making it easy to cook meals and save some money on eating out.

The room was not very comfortable. It was stuffy, and even though the windows opened, it didn't help much.
