We had a lovely 2 night stay. We had our own room for 2. Very pleasant manager and guests. Comfortable, very well equipped kitchen and many food basics from prior guests. Some reviewers had complained about cold showers--we had lots of very hot water. I suspect others did not understand the peculiar operation of British showers. Also others complained about... More

My three day stay at Iona Hostel was fantastic. I have never stayed in a hostel before, and wasn't too eager too but this place is truly special. It is the most remote place on the island but is such a pleasant walk, takes about 10 mins to get to the Abbey and all other attractions, maximum 20 mins walk... More

Great hostel experience, just a short walk to the beach, and close to Dun I, the hiking destination. The staff was delightful, especially the young Scottish gentleman working there who alerted us to a black sheep named Shorn Connery, who thinks it's a dog. Take some cookies and you will have a terrific afternoon. The one caveat is that the... More

The hostel is a fair walk from the ferry but on the door step is the most beautiful beach. Very good facilities and clean. Surprised to see this hostel is still using sleeping sheets when most others are using fitted sheets. Found the person running the hostel had a bit of a attitude problem and the owner would do well... More

I stayed for 3 days last month. The location is absolutely stunning, with ocean view and quick access to the beaches. The staff was really helpful. The facility is clean, everyone has to remove their shoes in the entry area. Given that Iona has sheep roaming everywhere, and leaving their droppings, this is a terrific policy. Food - The kitchen... More

Surely the nicest hostel in the nicest surrounding I've ever seen! Short path to beautiful beach, hiking, etc. I Love it. More

All of Iona is amazing, and the hostel was the perfect place for us to stay while we were there! It is a ways off the road, so the only way to get there is on foot. And once you are there, you are only feet from the rocky beach on the ocean! The hostel is clean and comfortable. We... More

A very comfortable hostel, with a great kitchen/dining area and fantastic views nearby. The bathroom facilities were clean and hot water was, thankfully, in good supply. We weren't quite prepared for the length of the walk to the hostel though - maybe it was our lack of preparedness. But it's about a 30min walk from the port, with a single... More

We stayed six nights in Iona hostel and are very happy we choose for this place. The staff, Jolanda, Andrew and Jamie are very friendly, the rooms are clean and so are the bathrooms. The only thing we did not like very much was when a large group arrived who captured the kitchen and the common room. And we have... More
