Chase the Wild Goose Hostel Fort William

Clean and very cute hostel with lovely staff! This is great for folks walking or cycling the Great Glen Way, or starting/ending The Cape Wrath Trail. Also great for hill walkers in the area. I stayed here before continuing on the Great Glen Way, as it's a few minutes walk from the trail. Simple breakfast items available for an extra fee too, which was very helpful. Loved this hostel and would stay here again!

If you need a place to stay, you'll be content here and it will meet all of your needs. Of all the hostels we stayed in while visiting Scotland, this one was our least favorite. Not only was it at an inconvenient location for people traveling on foot, the hostel itself lacked the warmth, comfort, and character we found at other hostels during our trip. That being said, the hostel is kept clean and staff are professional. It's just much more hotel than hostel in feel. I did notice the other reviewers mentioned musty smells... We did visit at a slow time of the season so no smells were noted in the living spaces and kitchen, only while using the bathroom. The fan wasn't working in there and I am concerned about what's possibly growing underneath the remodel work. There was a musty moldy smell in there that they may want to look into!
