Brilliant hostel. Great team. Great location. Great facilities.

Great stay as always, Lorna & Karl are always so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Like home from home. The hostel is the ideal place to base yourself, whether driving or biking. Biking is what we do and there are many easy day rides that offer stunning scenery round every corner. Try Portnahaven and round by Kilhiaren or to Senaigmore and Ardnave. There many more, but you need to spend more time to fully appreciate the island by bike.

The continued hospitality of Karl and Lorna is outstanding and their approach/services to guest customer is amazing. The cleanest hostel in Scotland. Thank you. Mike

Fantastic hostel....

This is an exceptional place, not only the fabulous location but the friendliness of the staff and the efficiency of how it was run. Home away from home. Took kids and grandparents, cooked family meals, swam in the sea at the back door and even played Islay Monopoly! you should all go... Lorna & karl will look after you...

Definitely visit Islay! Such a clean, tidy, homely and comfortable environment. Thank you very much! We especially loved jumping over the fence onto the beach!

My friends and I had a wonderful time staying Port Charlotte's youth hostel. Although my party was extremely late to arrive, to the point where the check in office was closing, the nice people working at the hostel made a great effort in making sure that everything was taken care of for us. We really appreciated the hospitality and the stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. I will definitely consider staying there again when I visit Islay again.

An absolutely incredible hostel. Clean, safe and friendly staff who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and at home. Would highly recommend!

Karl was extremely helpful and friendly. Overall, the hostel was nicer and cleaner than I expected. The request to vacate by 10am each day for cleaning was very reasonable. Well done!

This is a wonderful place and provides a perfect space in which to achieve the happy balance of social interaction and personal reflection. Lorna and Carl make everyone welcome and are very inclusive and connect travellers together. You don't need whisky to be in high spirits in Port Charlotte but there is plenty available locally if desired. The hotel next door provides regular folk music in their bar too.

Wonderful hostel, warm friendly welcome. All facilities you could wish for. Excellent room and breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Lorna and Karl made the hostel so cosy and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. It was the little touches that stood out like a towel in the kitchen, a floor towel in the bathrooms and teabags and coffee available for when it was difficult to shop. The wardens really make or break a hostel, I would really recommend this one.

Stayed at Port Charlotte Hostel. Karl and Lorna are so welcoming and helpful. This is the 4th time me and my friends have stayed there and every time the hospitality is so warm and friendly. Couldn't recommend the hostel enough. Great location and facilities.

Very friendly and helpful wardens. The hostel is in an interesting old building renovated to a high standard and in a superb location looking out over Loch Indaal.
