Loved this hostel. Great location and lovely rooms. We agreed as a family that this was the best place we stayed on our recent Highland road trip. Go to Seafood Shack!

The three staff members were friendly and helpful. Helped us change our booking by phone and verified by email. Thought the educational signs on recycling, composting and energy usage were great. Look forward to another visit with my grandchildren in tow. The live music at the Celidh Place is worth checking out- small intimate venue. Visit and support the two Ullapool bookshops and the Smokehouse.

Wonderful service from a dedicated team of wardens. Once again, I experienced the hospitality and friendliness of the SYHA team that is faithful to a long tradition yet respectful of new needs. Champions League Quality Service.

Very good location. The only problem is that you have to wait until 16:30 to check in.

Established by two local lassies in 2016, the Seafood Shack is well worth a visit for a high quality local takeaway, freshly caught and landed by local fishermen.
