Room for Cleaning
A very dated looking building much in need of re-decoration. Despite that a friendly welcome and facilities adequate. However the room had not been cleaned with any care or attention. A very bad image for overseas guests to Scotland and SYHA should be ashamed. I do not mean their hard working staff but the head office who allow such shabiness I doubt they ewould recommend the place.

Meh
The staff was curt, the beds like cardboard over springs. The place is clean, though the women’s lab was out of toilet paper in two stalls an entire day. Rooms are quite crowded.

We stayed at Inverness for a few nights and happy with private room, kitchen/dining facilities and laundry. But honestly our highlight was George the cat. If only every accommodation had a resident cat the world would be a far better place.

Property allowed flexible check in due to delays in our trip. Booking was most likely mixed up with another as original booking was for 2 females in double bed booking. Check in receipt listed 2 males for one bed for occupancy of 2. Property location was what we were looking for along our journey traveling.

Never complained about mattresses before, but broken springs digging in ribs and not even one electric outlet make for long night. Kitchen wonderful, but I'm writing this at 4 am, because for the first time in over 35 years of sleeping in hostels can't sleep.
