Crianlarich Youth Hostel

Nice hostel. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Set in the Trossachs, a beautiful layover spot from getting through Scotland. Close to trails. Wonderful restaurant close by serving much needed Cockaleekie soup and homemade bread. The kitchen was well stocked and it was good to have a dry room for wet towels and socks. The showers could use more space for shelving or getting dressed in. Common area was very relaxing with a cup of tea.

A relatively affordable hostel, with all the basic amenities. The village of Crianlarich is small but nice enough, with a few nice pubs to eat and drink. However, the hostel was quite disappointing. On the + side: room and beds were comfortable, and we had a room with a small bathroom corner (sink and mirror). On the - side: kitchen and storage were clearly too small considering the high number of guests hosted. Kitchen and bathrooms were also seriously lacking in cleaningness and quality.
