We had a great time at this hotel! Best aspects were its location next to a stunning beach, the friendly staff, and the clean facilities. We also appreciated the efforts made for recycling. Nothing not too like.

This hotel offers great value for money, with prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail is impressive, from the basic amenities provided to the rooms with stunning views over the bay. The location is simply breathtaking, situated in a stunning place with panoramic views of the sea. Additionally, the staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay.
All was satisfactory, no improvements needed.

the old building with its modern interior had a cozy lounge room with books and a blackboard filled with ideas of things to do nearby. the Tikka Masala dinner I ordered was delicious and reasonably priced. The location was stunning, with breathtaking views from the rooms and especially from the lounge room. Cons: Couldn't fault it! ⭐️.

loved the friendly staff, amazing location near Gairloch Sands beach, and spacious, cosy room with stunning views from the common room. Sands Youth exceeded our expectations during this quick stop in Gairloch.
Only one shower for each gender.

We stayed at Gairloch Sands Youth Hostel for a few nights and had an amazing experience. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of the sea and cliffs. The house itself is quaint and full of character, with a little history behind it. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The shared bathroom was large and clean. The cooking facilities were great, but there's also a fantastic cafe at the nearby campsite for a delicious meal. it was a fantastic stay!
100% Recommend this hostel.

We got great value for our money at the Sands Youth hostel. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the location offered stunning views of the mountains. The staff treated us like family, making our stay even more enjoyable.
The morning meal could have been improved with a more varied selection.

The weekend was spent in a wonderful location near the sea, which allowed for some stunning views of the surroundings. The facilities were good, and it was easy to find all we needed to cook our meals in the shared kitchen. The staff were helpful in giving suggestions for nearby cafes and attractions that made the experience very enjoyable.
The toilets were cramped and could be better located within the hostel, as they were in the communal area. it was quite difficult to locate the hostel upon arrival and some additional signage could improve this process.

The hostel was very comfortable with great facilities and beautiful sea views. the location was easy to get to by car and offered a lovely lounge area for relaxation.
The shower's temperature and water pressure were less than ideal. the hostel's hours of operation made it difficult to enjoy the facilities fully, particularly given the cold weather during the holiday season.

The hotel was in a stunning location, offering an excellent view from our window. The staff were friendly and welcoming, particularly Sara who was very helpful. The rooms were clean, tidy, and provided all the necessary comfort for a good night's sleep.
No significant issues, everything was satisfactory.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel! the value for money was exceptional. We couldn't believe the affordable prices for such a beautiful location. The attention to detail in the rooms was impressive, especially the stunning views over the bay. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our stay. And let's not forget the delicious breakfast for just £4.95, a perfect start to our day!
Everything was absolutely fine, no issues whatsoever.

The drying room was a bonus and the boiling water on tap was great for a quick cup of tea. the lady at the reception was helpful and cheery. the small "shop" for forgotten items was a nice touch. Quick and hassle-free check-in/check-out.
Felt very lucky, nothing was too much trouble.

This hotel offers stunning views in a remote location, surrounded by beautiful mountains and overlooking the bay. The rooms are comfortable and some even have seaviews, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty from your window. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, sharing their knowledge of the area. The basic amenities are all you need, and the breakfast for £4.95 is a great value.
No improvements needed. Everything was just as described and enjoyable.
