The hostel's location at the mouth of the Isle of Skye offered amazing views over the waters. The darling old building added a touch of charm to our experience. Despite being a party of middle-aged individuals, we felt welcomed and treated with care and respect. The lounge area provided a great spot to relax and admire the beautiful sunsets. The bed was comfy and the kitchen well-equipped, making it easy to prepare our own meals. The free tea and coffee were a nice touch. we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this interesting backpackers to others.

The view from the property was absolutely stunning, with a perfect vantage point of the Skye bridge. I also appreciated that towels were provided in the double room with a sea view, saving me from having to bring my own. the location was great for exploring the area, with free parking nearby and a bar just a few meters away.
The main downside was the lack of toilets and showers for the entire hostel. With only one toilet per floor, it could be quite inconvenient, especially when the hostel was busy.

The hostel had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and dynamic staff. the common room was comfortable and had a nice fire, perfect for colder days. the kitchen facilities were well-equipped, and there were even free spices and basic ingredients available. the beds were comfortable and wider than in other hostels. the location of the hostel was great, with beautiful views of the harbor. a great place to stay for backpackers looking for a friendly and affordable option.
The rooms were a bit small and may feel cramped for some guests. the hostel could benefit from having more showers, especially during peak times when it's fully booked.

Located right on the seafront, Skye Backpackers Kyleakin offers stunning views of the Inner Sound and Loch Alsh. the central location provides easy access to amenities and pubs, making it perfect for meeting locals. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing recommendations for walks and pubs in the area. the hostel offers a cozy and charming atmosphere, with a well-equipped kitchen and clean rooms fitted with sinks.
The hostel can get a little chilly during the day, as the old building allows the wind to come in through cracks.

I had the most cozy and unique experience at Skye Backpackers! The hostel has so much personality, with a charming view of the harbour. The kitchen facilities were great and I loved the presence of a chicken on the hotel. The dorms were clean and quiet, providing a peaceful night's sleep. I highly recommend this place for a nice stay.

The value for money at this hostel was great, and the room was comfortable and cozy. The location was beautiful, surrounded by grass fields and fine landscape views.
The morning meal could have been improved with more variety.

Location was great, being close to the bridge to the Isle of Skye made it convenient for exploring the island. the staff were friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or requests. Plus, the kitchen facilities were excellent, making it easy to cook meals and save some money on eating out.
The room was not very comfortable. It was stuffy, and even though the windows opened, it didn't help much.

We had a great and interesting stay at a beautiful old building on the Isle of Skye. The staff at the hostel were very friendly and welcoming, and we felt cared for and respected. The double bedroom we stayed in had good wifi, and the bathrooms were clean. The fully-equipped kitchen and dining room were helpful, and there was plenty of information available on buses and things to do in the area. The location was perfect, with beautiful views over the waters and a nearby castle to hike to. it was a perfect little hostel for our visit.

The hostel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. the location was perfect, just a short distance away from the main attractions on the Isle. I also appreciated the fact that the showers, kitchen, lounge, and rooms were cleaned daily, giving it a homely feel.
The kitchen and dining room were quite small, especially when the hostel was full. It would have been great if there was more space for food storage.
