Braemar Youth Hostel Reviews

8.2/10

Great

9.0/10

United Kingdom, December 2022

We stayed at a hostel nestled in the forest, with red squirrels right outside. The location was perfect, not far from the village center, and surrounded by beautiful hiking trails. The dorm rooms were comfortable with great views, and the bathrooms were clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the kitchen had all the necessary facilities for cooking. It was a great place to relax and explore.

The shower had no place to put toiletries, which was a bit inconvenient.

6.8/10

United Kingdom, December 2022

Excellent location, surrounded by green forests and mountains, just a short walk to the town center which has plenty of useful amenities including a small shop. the staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. the kitchen and lounge facilities are superb and the WiFi in the rooms is a bonus.

One member of staff dismissively told a guest that the faulty heating in the room could not be fixed. the policy of closing the building from 10am to 4pm daily is not communicated beforehand.
