Lee, the host, was super helpful and gave us mind-blowing local photography tips. The well-stocked kitchen and cozy sitting area were jaw-dropping. The hostel had free Wi-Fi, a hot tub , and loads of books, games, and DVDs. It was an ideal base for hiking and cycling with secure bicycle storage. The warm welcome and free tea and coffee were a nice touch. The outdoor dining area and garden with ducks were amazing. We had a great night drinking and chatting with Lee. a fantastic venue for a cozy and comfortable stay.

The location of the hostel is excellent, just a stone's throw from a lovely café and the famous Dalwhinnie distillery. The cleanliness of the facilities and rooms was outstanding, which was a big plus. Additionally, the hostel offered great value for money, ensuring you get the most out of your stay.

That the local food options close quite early, around 4.30 pm, so it's important to plan ahead for your evening meal. Another drawback was the noise level in the hostel, with the movements of other guests being easily heard.

Our stay at the Old School Hostel was exceptional value for money. The room was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views of the mountains. The location was convenient, just across the road from the train station, and the staff, especially Lee, were friendly and helpful.

When it comes to breakfast choices, it would have been nice to have more variety.

Well stocked and spacious kitchen. Relaxing and friendly communal area. Log burner for cozy atmosphere. Knowledgeable and welcoming host. Clean and comfortable private room with beautiful views. Convenient location near train station

Felt quite safe, no complaints.

Cozy converted village school near Munros & National Cycle Route. Clean, well-organized rooms, kitchen. Helpful and friendly host. Quick response for lost belongings.

We had an amazing stay at the Old School in Dalwhinnie. The location was stunning, with breathtaking views of the mountains from our window. Being right next to the train station was incredibly convenient for our travels. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and we especially loved the cozy atmosphere with a warm fire to relax by after a long hike. The hostel was exceptionally clean, and we even made friends with the two adorable cats. Lee, the host, was extremely helpful and gave us great advice on where to go for food and photography spots. The well-stocked kitchen was a bonus, and we also discovered a little shop before leaving.

Couldn't find any faults at all. 😃

We recently stayed at the Old School Hostel for one night during our journey through Scotland. The hostel exceeded our expectations in every way.

We also appreciated the friendly and informative host who made our stay even more enjoyable. We have already recommended this gorgeous hostel to fellow travelers.

I totally recommend this hostel.
