Pitlochry Youth Hostel

Very well run hostel. Clean, well-equipped and within walking distance to everything in the town. When we were there it was mainly older guests (like us) and the place had a good vibe. Lovely old mansion.

The woman at reception could have made an effort to be welcoming. It was like she hated her job.

Kitchen and lounge facilities excellent. Staff very very helpful. Shower exceptional.

Twin room dated, carpet didnt meet walls. Matresses were very uncomfortable, sadly.

We like the location, the hostel was located on a hill overlooking Pitlochry with a beautiful view. Facilities was well kept, the kitchen and pantry was neat and clean. There's a lot of info for travellers provided too.

Nothing

The location is ideal, a short walk into the village and there is parking on site. Bit of a walk uphill if you are less capable or just tired after a long day! That being said, you get a super view from the hostel and if its nice, you can sit outside.

Generally really old fashioned and needing an upgrade, especially the bathrooms. Cracks in the tiles, a rusty nail in the floor as a doorstop (?) and although we upgraded to ensuite, it was right next to the communal bathroom (toilet?) where we could hear people using it. Outdoor seating could be expanded, only two picnic tables which were mostly used all the time by groups. Nice wooden bench at side, but with that view on a sunny day it would be fantastic to have more seating.
