We stayed at this Hostel in 2018 so knew already how good it is. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been a freezer section in the fridge.Kendalhosteller

This hostel sits up the hill a short distance from downtown Pitlochry. It has a great view. Five minute walk and you are in the heart of downtown. The staff was very courteous and helpful. If I am ever in Pitlochry again I'll stay here.Scott

The young people who attended our residential break at the Pitlochry youth hostel this weekend has a fantastic experience. Staff were kind and helpful and the hostel itself was ideal for our needs. Thoroughly recommended.About Youth

I received a warm welcome and a spacious, sunny dorm with great views. Pitlochry hostel is elevated - up a hill overlooking Pitlochry and the surrounding hills which can really be appreciated from the Dining room with its expanse of windows and both sitting rooms. Very comfortable; I'd recommend it.SarahDR

A really good place to base yourself for a week's holiday, especially if Corbett-bagging. Friendly, helpful and approachable staff. Well-equipped and conveniently placed (once you find it)! Foliage needs to be cut back from road signs (not hostel's fault) to make it easier to find.Lindsay

Wow, Pitlochry Youth Hostel is fantastic! The room was huge with brilliant views over the village and hills. The room, bedding and washroom were exceptionally clean and tidy. I've stayed at expensive hotels and this hostel is "right up there!" Prior to arriving, I called reception to let them know I would be arriving a little late. I requested a bottom bunk and sure enough, it was reserved for me and the bed was made! I had a dreamy sleep with the cool Scottish breeze flowing in the windows. ZZZCanadian Nurse

It was a nice stay in a beautiful environment. The staff was very helpful to us and completed all of our wishes. The lakes and walking routes near by astonished us as well as the lovely town of Pitlochry, and the hostel was a perfect starting point to discover that all.Máté

This time it was just for one night as a stop over on my way up to Kinlochbervie. But, this makes a great base for hill walking as I have previously found.Bob from Wrexham

Must walk to the peak of Ben Vackry. Spectacular view. I did it solo and felt perfectly safe. Track was easy to follow and find, and if lost there was always someone (eventually) to ask. Lady at reception (incredibly friendly) recommended it to me and very helpful with other local walk suggestions.oziedragonfly

Reasons to visit
Pitlochry sits in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. Easily accessible by train and bus, it's ideally situated for touring Highland Perthshire.
Set amidst hills, lochs and woodland, Pitlochry makes a superb base for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to explore the area's numerous walking and cycle routes.
The famous salmon ladder, Blair Castle, Blair Atholl Distillery and the Queen's View are not to be missed and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, known affectionately as the "Theatre in the Hills", offers a varied and exciting programme of events throughout the year.
Using the forest as a natural backdrop "The Enchanted Forest" in nearby Faskally Wood is a lighting show that is quite simply out of this world. Each October the autumn woodland is transformed into one of Scotland's premier light and sound experiences that dazzles and delights. Unmissable.
