It was all really nice. The staff is very friendly and the hostel is clean. The distance to the village is absolutely okay and there you will find a supermarket and a pit shop. I've sleep in a 6 dorm room and the only problem was space for stuff. Every centimeter was needed for the beds and it would be nice to have more possibilities to hang jackets or towels. But for this price all is okay!Nora

I loved staying at Broadford youth hostel! The staff are so helpful and the accommodations are very nice. The bed was comfy and the kitchen and dining rooms are spacious. Check out the bus schedule if you don't have a car. Ask for advice from the staff, they are really kind and generous!Marisa

A small & cosy YHA compared to other YHA. Can watch beautiful sunrise at the lake. The woman at the front desk was cheerful & friendly. You can get drinkable water from a tap which is not available in other YHA that I stayed in. Nice place feel like home.happy go lucky

Broadford hostel is in an excellent location - easy to find from main road and a short walk from the shop and bars etc in the town. The staff were very pleasant and our room was comfortable (we had a private room on this stay). Good big kitchen, well equipped, and good atmosphere in the communal dining and lounge area. Would stay againCorran

Close to Broadford village, amenities/food etc. Nice quiet location. Kitchen facilities good. Drying room welcome. I'd be reluctant to stay again, hostel in need of upgrading/maintenance work in the upper floor shower room and toilet. Mentioned to staff, but as volunteers they made a note of my concerns but couldn't act on them. Private single room overpriced for what you get. I stayed at an independent hostel after leaving Broadford, far superior accommodation & comfort for same price.BC

Skye is great place, and Broadford is a good base. You can travel around reasonably quick. If you are visiting the Quiraing - take the top path along the cliff to get the best view.Yorksman

I stayed one night at this hostel as part of a bigger island hopping trip, and chose Broadford due to its proximity to ferries/bridge. It is a nice enough little town and has a good Co-op and petrol station (have holidayed in Broadford before so didn't check out the other shops this time, but there are a few. A good stopping off point if you are starting your journey on the island to some of its more beautiful parts.The hostel was clean, with very good kitchen, and comfortable seating.SAM

Reasons to visit
Set in a romantic bay with beautiful coastal and mountain views, Broadford Youth Hostel is an ideal base for exploring the stunning Isle of Skye.
The Marble trail and Corry walk are within easy reach of the hostel and the famous Cuillin mountain range is just 15 miles away. For a more relaxing experience, the Irishman's Point is a short walk from the hostel with views over Pabay and Scalpay Islands and with Loch Carron and the Northwest Highlands looming in the distance. A boat trip from Elgol (about a 30 minute drive) towards Loch Coruisk is well worth considering.
Skye offers ideal sea kayaking opportunities for those with a more adventurous spirit and courses for all levels can be taken within close driving distance of the hostel.
Seals, otters and gannets are regularly seen diving for fish close to the hostel and local attractions include Armadale Castle and Clan MacDonald hosting a number of events across the year from craft fairs to music festivals. Discover local craftsmanship at Skye ceramics or Skye candles and take home a lasting reminder of your trip.
