Great hostel, with lovely, relaxed atmosphere and banter with fellow hostellers. ?Mat, the hostel warden while I was there, was very welcoming and full of tips/advice.After three consecutive days of trying and failing to traverse Beinn Allign, due to crazy weather, the hostel was perfect to unwind, reflect, and mix with fellow hostellers.

outstanding hospitality, very friendly and helpful staff, really liked the hostel for it's perfect location, it's roominess, well equiped kitchen, very comfortable lounge rooms, very pleasant welcoming atmosphere, an absolute joy to spend some days after a very exhausting time of cycling through the westcoast of Scotland in brutal weather, in an absolute brilliant & magnificient surrounding landscape.

I arrived after a very wet ride from Applecross to find shelter in the reception area and excellent drying room facilities. My dorm was very comfortable and the cooking facilities, dining area and lounge were excellent.

One of the best hostels stayed at - do love the quiet lounge, comfy and so nice to have a dedicated peaceful place. The coastal loop walk is a great post dinner wander.

Torridon YH is a very comfortable, friendly hostel with space to relax in the lounges and dining room, when not out in the beautiful nearby mountains.

The hostel is even better than when I first stayed there when it was fairly new and an excellent base to explore what I have always believed one of the grandest mountain areas of Scotland

I've stayed in a lot of Hostels and this rates as one of the best for me.Location and facilities are excellent. Very freindly staff in an obviously well managed hostel. If you don't like self catering then you will be disappointed as the only meal provided is a continental breakfast and in the evening DIY microwave meals. That aside I give the hostel 10/10.

Very hard to beat Torridon for location and high standard of hostel. The drying room works well and facilities are faultless.

Whether you're scaling the heights, biking the trails or walking the coastal paths, the Torridon area has something for everyone.
