Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
Such a beautiful youth hostel directly next to Loch Lomond. The staff is so kind and supportive and the hostel is very clean and modern. It is perfect for walkers of the West highland Way. If you pre-order even cooked meal is served for dinner. Subsequently we had some beers in the cosy lounge, where you could meet many further walkers. I only can recommend this hostel.
The best thing about this youth hostel is the staff - very helpful and friendly!
Good location on the WHW. Not that there's much competition in Rowardennan...
Staff took care of washing and drying my laundry. At first I thought 9£ was rather expensive, but it's actually pretty normal for WHW.
Oh yeah and the building really DOES look nice (even though the pouring rain made it hard to appreciate it).
The surroundings of the hostel are beautiful and the staff is really friendly and accommodating :) the comfort is typical for a youth hostel - which is exactly what we expected.
If you want to stay in a castle and still travelling on a low budget - this is the place. Location is superb. Especially if you are up to hike Ben Lomond. The hostel is fine as usual.
Beautiful setting, lovely building. Very friendly and supportive staff. Great youth hostel experience with people there to share the space and have a good time. Clean and comfortable.
Great location, nice double room for a hostel, huge kitchen for cooking and a fantastic lounge overlooking the lake.
