Since we were staying at this hostel as part of a tour of Skye, the staff checked us in and then we didn't see them again. Our guide took care of us most of the time. The hostel was a converted house with kitchen, dining room and living room with fireplace. It was pretty cozy and good for hanging out.... more

I have stayed in this hostel at least 4 times now, and even spent a few weeks around Christmas and New Years Eve there - and I can only say that the atmosphere in this hostel is what backpacking around Scotland is all about! The young and dynamic staff are very friendly, and you can feel immediately that all of... more

My sisters and I got the opportunity to go on a MacB's tour in July. I can tell you it was the highlight of our month. Staying in Skye was a wonderful experience. The manager at the time was Will, and he was helpful and friendly. We were able, through the hostel, to set up a tour of the island,... more

I stayed here for 2 nights in January on a Macbackpackers tour. Very reasonable prices, friendly & helpful staff, across from a nice pub, nice kitchen and lounge, warm and toasty on a cold winter night ... on the downside however: tiny, tiny rooms with thin walls; moldy tiny showers with unpredictable controls; the common space is too small for... more

This is a new independent hostel in Portree (apparently it was a fish and chip shop previously). It is small - with only 8 rooms (all 4 bed I believe). On the positive side: - it is centrally located just down from the main square. - it is kept very clean - the resident host/manager is exceptionally friendly and helpful... more
