    Pros +

    • It's beautiful. Big bed, great view, amazing people and service. Good security
    • Staff was very accommodating.
    • I liked the hostel. Clean and very well located. I only stayed one night, but if I return to Inverness, I will definitely stay there again.

    Cons -

    • No nothing
    • I hadn’t realised the private rooms are in a separate annex a few metres from the main hostel. It somehow felt detached as there is no shared lounge area in the annex though thee is a very good shared kitchen and shower facilities. I also hated having a squirt of air freshener pumped out every time I used the bathroom ..
    • I can’t think of anything really maybe the size it would be a bit crazy in the summer because of it’s the size.

    I really liked the location, just a short walk from the heart of the city, close to the river and the castle. I liked cosy reception area and the general decor. The facilities are excellent, the staff very helpful. Bed was comfy and a towel provided. Great showers.

    Very comfy beds, very clean. Good enough for a short stay.

    They put me in a different building than the main one, which does not have the social part. Did not have a real communal area, just the dorm room. Staff was not very nice.

    8BarendPosted on: 12-31-2025

    Friendly and accommodating staff. I had the double room which was nice and spacious.

    Lack of enough seating in the communal area.

    10FranklinPosted on: 12-28-2025

    I love the neatness of the place, it's proximity to the city centre, and how warm and welcoming the staff were. I must admit I was impressed with the neatness of the bathrooms. I don't mean to exaggerate but the bathroom and toilet of Bazpackers is topnotch and extremely clean. I can't wait to be back soon.

    The staff should please tell guests to keep the rooms tidy when they're staying over. I met the room in good condition when I checked in, but new guests checked in and dropped their bags all over the rooms without considering the fact that they're sharing space with other people. People should learn to behave with decorum in public spaces.

    Great location and easy to check in. Shared bathroom for our room was modern and very clean. The room was spotless. This is the second time I’ve stayed here (I was in the apartment before) and I will definitely be back.

    8ClaudiaPosted on: 12-7-2025

    Good location, not far from city centre. View from the room window was beautiful.

    We were in the annexe which was a bit removed from the main hostel. It only had two bathrooms that were not separated from the toilet so if the hostel was busy the lack of bathrooms would be a struggle.

    9GustavoPosted on: 11-30-2025

    The bed were extra confortable, the staff was the best! Very well located.

    A little bit to small the hostel.

    10AlexanderPosted on: 11-9-2025

    The owner was lovely - really helpful and welcoming. The room (private) and shared bathroom were both spotless and comfortable.

    Nothing to complain about at all!

    9Only4mihaiPosted on: 11-3-2025

    The fact that you had privacy in your bed, small lamp with usb. Free towels, and clean cubicals for shower and wc

    No carpark (there is 1 min away) on street, and you have to clear it by 8AM

    9EmmaPosted on: 11-1-2025

    Great location, extremely clean facilities, lovely outdoor area, well equipped kitchen, and helpful staff. Just a short walk from some beautiful parks along the river.

    Quite a small hostel, I could see it feeling quite crowded if a lot of people are staying. It was quite expensive but very nice for a hostel.

    10JamesPosted on: 10-31-2025

    The atmosphere was good all over. You meet new people from all over the world that come here to stay at the bazpackers hostel. It's in a fantastic place close to the city centre with a pub right next door. You can see the river ness from your window

    There nothing to dislike

    9RinaPosted on: 10-29-2025

    The receptionist is frirndly, helpful also politr and very professional to guide the hostel facilities. Duvet is thick so it is comfortable to sleep. All areas are clean and kitchen is good for cooking. There are shelves for food. Also free tea, coffee and hot chocolate.Common area is nice I liked the fireplace. Hostel decorated Halloween style, very cute.The view from the garden and the room was amazing.If I come back to Inverness, I will choose this place again. The location is good from the train station.

    Only 1 thing shower water preasure is very low. But I understand the building is nice old.

    10KathleenPosted on: 10-27-2025

    The Hostel is very clean, well thought through and in a great location. One of the best Hostels I‘ve ever stayed in and I have seen a lot.

    10TylerPosted on: 10-26-2025

    I have 45 countries under my belt. And too many Hostels to count. Bazpackers is in the top 5 all time!! Location was central to town, stores, water and train station. The view from their back patio is gorgeous and the room was superb! You MUST stay here. Period.

    10JamesPosted on: 10-26-2025

    The staff are very friendly. All girls mainly. Nice place to go. Bed are good. Plenty of plug sockets to charge your phone and other bits. Hot showers are good. Coffee and tea are free. Cooking is good aswell. Wifi. It's good value for money

    There was nothing to dislike. Everything was spot on for me

    10TatyanaPosted on: 10-24-2025

    Loved everything - lovely double room with comfortable bed and amazing view on river Ness, shared bathroom and kitchen were spotless clean, young lady on reception was very friendly and helpful, the pub right next to had a lovely live music on. There is also a storage room so we could store our bags after checking out next day until the evening, which was very helpful! Would highly recommend this place.
