Honestly had a great experience at Bazpackers. People who work there are very kind and were very accommodating when some things went wrong (window handle broke and WiFi was down). I had the private room with a double bed, which was clean and very comfortable. Towels were provided and the showers and toilets were perfectly clean as well. Great water temperature and water pressure. Location just outside of the centre, which was great for me. The only downside was that the room smelled like wet dog and/or smelly feet. With the window open it was okay, so I’m not sure if it was from the previous guest or if it’s just the smell of the room, but if it is the latter someone should probably deep clean the carpet.

5/5 – A Cozy, Self-Sufficient Gem in Inverness I absolutely loved my stay at Bazpackers Hostel! Everything went so smoothly—from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. The check-in process was seamless, and the self-sufficient setup made everything easy. I received my key, found everything clearly explained, and just settled right in. The beds are super comfy, and I really appreciated the smart compartments around them—perfect for tucking away your bits and pieces. The hot shower was a dream after long Highland walks, and the kitchen is amazing—fully equipped with everything you need, which made it feel like home. Towels included, which is always a plus! What I especially loved was the view of the river—absolutely soothing. And when it was time to leave, all I had to do was drop off the key. No fuss, no pressure, just ease. You can truly relax here. Highly recommended for travelers who value both comfort and independence. I'd definitely come back again!

I had a wonderful stay at Bazpackers! The comfortable bunk bed ensured a good night's sleep, and the clean kitchen was a delight to use. The hostel's proximity to the train station made it easy to get around. But what really made my stay special was the wonderful host lady, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. One suggestion I do have is to implement a code system for the dorms

I forgot my tag on my way to the toilet at night and had to sit outside the dorm for 30 minutes until another guest got up and let me in. It would be great to have a backup system in place for situations like this.

Everything. So much thought and effort has gone into making this place incredible which is clearly evident. Individual curtains for bunk beds allows for privacy and a darkened escape from the main light. Window views were lovely. Position to town and facilities exemplary. Stayed in Annex and kitchen was modern and homely. Toilets and showers also modern, clean and well planned. General, shared areas also fabulous. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Congratulations to the planners/designers and staff who have made this place possible and for the staff who go the extra mile.

Absolutely nothing to complain about! Stayed 3 nights.

The facilities were very adequate. The comforters were good. The kitchen was adequate for coffee, tea, and hearing up food. Less for full cooking. The beds were wrapped in an impervious lining which I was reassured by, as it impairs pests The beds were very comfortable. The shower had great water pressure and hot water and the towels were good. This is a fantastic hostel for families or friends. The Castle Bar is attached and has a solid Cullen Skink Very well situated.

Nothing. This is a solid, plain fare, hostel. It is not a high end hotel. Safe. Comfortable. Good value. All ages. Will be back.

This is a really good hostel. Dorm beds are comfortable & have light blocking curtains. Also a couple of USB charging points. There's a lockbox (electronic code lock) for each bunk, and a big space for bags under the bed.

The building isn't huge, so it's a little cramped in places; not ridiculously so, but it doesn't take a lot of people to fill the kitchen or the bathroom. Large groups could struggle to get through those areas in a hurry.

It’s really good value for money, clean, nice shortbread biscuits left on bed, you get a towel which is helpful, and good late check-in options if you message and let them know. Very kind and helpful staff also. Also really liked the place to store your stuff near the bed and the curtains and night light for privacy and to avoid disturbing others. It also amazes me that this place is so much cheaper than so many other places in Scotland and yet so much better (including hotels!)

No parking.

The beds with half enclosed wooden bit and the curtain give a cosy privacy you rarely get in hostel dormitaries .Nice location lovely view of the river from the room ,next door to a nice pub that serves food.

The common area closes at 11pm so there is nowhere to sit and read or relax after that for me an owl who goes to bed at 1am or later . ,you just have to go to your room and the pub next door shuts at 10pm so either walk into town and sit in a noisy pub or go to your bed where. People may be sleeping

Checking-in until 11pm, checking-out until 11am. Comfortable room. Great view of the river. Comfortable bed. Soft pillows. Adjustable heating. Nice kitchen. Very clean, well appointed bathroom with new tiles and modern fixtures. Nice modern solid wood furniture. Plenty of power sockets.

With a walk in shower, a bathmat or even a hand towel to be used as one would be good. The hand drier is extremely noisy and anyone using it at night or early in the morning would wake up people in the adjacent room. Heater in the bathroom off, so cold inside.

Very friendly receptionist, I book last minute at 7pm+ yet I still got a bed, I had a tough day because my Dundee bus was late by 1 hour causing me to miss the train to Inverness, chain effect causing me to miss the last bus from Inverness to Loch Ness. Thank God Bazpackers is my lifesaver. I met a number of backpackers (from US and New Zealand) who were so helpful sharing their traveling tips with me. Nice, clean and modern kitchen👍 Can store luggage bag in Bazpacker before or after check-in, very thoughtful of the operator. Many good restaurants nearby.

My bed faces the road which is supposed to be quiet, but many biker speeding in the night, for this low price I paid (SGD$63) I can accept it. The rough uphill road, very difficult to push my luggage bag upslope, best to take a cab here
