BUG Review
For those wanting to ascend Britain’s highest peak, Ben Nevis, via the popular tourist path this Norwegian-style hostel is perfect – the path begins just across the road. The hostel caters for outdoor enthusiasts and less active visitors with a large kitchen, lounge areas and drying room.
Price Dorm bed £12-18.50 (£11-17.50 HI/SYHA) Prices are in British pounds and are inclusive of all taxes.
Pros:
We don't have to visit it again
Cons:
Stench, mould at the windows and walls, dirty showers and toilets

I think this hostel doesn't need to care for proper maintenace so close to a popular mountain range.The staff had a devil may care attitude and it was LOUD not just NOISY. The doors were banging constantly. toilet flushs to be heared, footsteps on the stairs etc., no isolation at all.The rooms reeked of stale sweat and had mould on the window frames. Our window couldn't be closed properly. We didn't even bother to take a picture, just try to get some sleep and go.

This hostel is everything you would expect from a hostel. Its only a mile or so from Fort William which is walkable for a few beers.I did hear that the place had bed bugs but after the West Highland Way it didnt really bother me. I didnt see any.
