We stayed while walking the Great Glen Way, and it is right on the route. It is a large friendly hostel. Our room had two sets of very comfortable bunk beds.

Cute place. No elevators.

The location is great. 5 minute walk to the lockes and restaurants. Parking was easy. Hostel was easy to find. Our room was up three flights of stairs with NO elevator. Had to pay for towels. Had to strip the bedding and bring it downstairs with the towels at the end of the stay. Shower was in the room and no problems. They do serve dinner and breakfast on site for a fee. There is a small bar in house that is pretty well stocked. The people working there were nice. Because there were 4 of us, we had to take the 6 person room and the room was over 200 pounds for one night. It stung a little that I paid 200 pounds and had to pay for a towel and strip my bed. Havent stayed in a hostel for 25 years. Maybe this is just how it is…

We stayed in a private family room which was clean and spacious. 3 off the 4 beds had usb/power plugs that worked. Bedding included but towels are for hire. Common spaces were way too warm, but room had windows which enabled us to lower the room temp. Each room was themed. We stayed in the Otter room which was decorated with pictures and fact sheets about otters (we loved this little touch)! We arrived about 8pm and the inside parking lot was full. We were able to find street parking a little ways away. Breakfast was basic for the price, toast, jam, porridge, apple and orange juice. We would pass on breakfast if we stayed there again, but otherwise we had an enjoyable stay and would recommend.

It's a hostel, really, though my hiking buddy and I booked a private room with private en suite. The room was quite large, as was the bathroom and shower. We were very pleased with the facilities. The Lodge itself is a friendly place with a bar, tables for chatting with each other or other guests, and a very nice dining and breakfast area offering darn good breakfast options. Prime location in Fort Augustus. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, though, off-hours, you won't find them anywhere in sight. I would definitely stay there again, though, again, if you want a hotel with hotel amenities, select that option. It's a hostel.
