    Staff was supper friendly. Got playing room and good decorations for the entire hostel. Bathroom was clean as well.

    The only thing was found a stand of hair on the sheet.

    8PatriciaPosted on: 9-30-2025

    Friendly staff, beautiful lounge, nice atmosphere

    My mattress was very thin

    8ElainePosted on: 9-28-2025

    On the main street close to shops and restaurants, close to train station (400 m), large comfortable common room, small but fully equipped kitchen

    Extremely late check in (5 pm).

    7Jane L.Posted on: 9-22-2025

    Location to station and Main Street with shops

    Bedding , quilt was thin and room was cool

    9LoriPosted on: 9-15-2025

    Very comfortable twin mattress. Pretty clean for an old building.

    Kitchen was kind of small for the size of the hostel, but it had lots of cooking items.

    8tammyPosted on: 9-15-2025

    It's a very eclectic place! Loved the vibe! Accommodations were very nice, and the view was beautiful!

    The pillows were very flat and worn, as were the linens. The toilet seat cover needs repair, as it kept falling down.

    7KristaPosted on: 9-9-2025

    Very clean. The view from my window. Central to so muchHad parking

    No lockershower area was not as private as I would prefer, but had unique set up.

    7ShelbyPosted on: 9-9-2025

    Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen facilities, and common areas

    Needs so maintenance; loose door handles, loose taps— simple things to fix that just need a bit of attention.

    9KyliePosted on: 9-8-2025

    Comfortable and clean, good location. Quirky building.

    8PhyllisPosted on: 8-22-2025

    My friend and me are in our senior years, and we were very pleased with our twin room and ensuite. All basic needs were met and the room was clean.Backpackers Pitlochry is right in the heart of the town, beside shops, cafes and bars so easy access to the delights of the town.We were also able to leave our luggage at Backpapers during the days we arrived and left - a bonus indeed.Staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating to our requests.Excellent value for money and ideal for people of all ages.

    Just a bit of TLC would be good - but that's all.

    10SimonePosted on: 5-19-2025

    Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Absolutely loved the cute fairy vibes in the living area. Couldn't get a better location and great value for money. Super cheap and filling continental breakfast and great cooking facilities.

    10MeganPosted on: 5-12-2025

    Friendly and quick check in. All staff super friendly, especially the bike storage dude (Sorry I forgot his name!).Clean and simple room. Really appreciated the hospitality shown when staying for the Etape Caledonia. A place for my bike to be kept as well as early opening of the kitchen facilities to accommodate people staying for the event. Was able to store my stuff and bike even after check out since I was getting a late train home. Defiantly staying again when in the area ☺️

    No where to store belongings in room. I was ok as everyone seemed friendly however have had things stolen in the past so was wary.

    private bathroom. convient location, comfy bed.

    Stairs, no shampoo.

    9LisaPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Fantastic stay! comfy bed in a spacious room with plenty plugs. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. The kitchen and communal spaces were great. It's right on the mainstreet which is perfect for staying in pitlochry.

    The showers weren't bad but be careful with setting the temperatur, hard to get it in-between hot and cold.

    8MollyPosted on: 4-25-2025

    Staff were really friendly and the vibe of the place was spot on. Location was great and there were lovely places to hang out.

    Romm was a little dirty when we arrived and shower was poor
