Glencoe Youth Hostel

We welcome the recent announcement by the Scottish Government on the responsible lifting of restrictions and are delighted to be able to plan for the re-opening of our self-catering kitchens from 1st November. Drying room facilities are now available at many of our hostels but we would ask you to please contact the hostel team directly to allow them to manage your access. The health, safety and wellbeing of our guests, employees and the communities in which we operate remains our main priority at this time. For more information on what to expect when staying with us please visit the FAQ's section of this website.

As you’ll appreciate, advice on Covid-19 is constantly changing and we would ask all our guests to continue to refer to Scottish Government guidelines and Transport Scotland advice on travel and social distancing when making their booking. Please remember, this guidance may be different in England and Wales.  

Set in one of Scotland’s most spectacular and historic glens, this Hostel is the perfect base for walkers and climbers of all abilities, and close to Glencoe mountain resort for skiing and mountain biking, as well as the Sustrans cycle path to Oban.

The alpine-style hostel offers a great range of comfortable private rooms and dorm accommodation and new
