BUG review
Located right in the centre of town, this hostel has a huge lounge with a pool table and TV and plenty of seats by the big sash windows. The rooms are nicely maintained and the shower rooms are small but functional. The staff are very knowledgeable about the area and help create a cheery atmosphere about the place.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

Very central and a nice common room overlooking the main street! Staff were also very friendly. Blair castle is also not that far.

This hostel was great, a five min walk to the train station, right on the main street. The staff were a blast, and gladly watched movies/played pool or cards with the guests. It's a converted hotel so the rooms are great, with dorms and singles/doubles/twins for a great rate. There are great walking trails near by, and a couple distilleries within walking distance. Was a cute, well kept town and the hostel was outstanding!

This hostel is a converted hotel, and everything is just beautiful. The staff was great, and Pitlochry itself was a gorgeous, relaxing place. If you go here, I recommend taking a trip down to the TIC and buying the brochure on nature walks around Pitlochry. It's only 50p, and if you like to walk, you'll really enjoy yourself.

This place is like a hotel. It used to have only singles, doubles or twins with your own bathroom at a flat rate of 11 per person, however, the owner/manager has now started overcrowding the rooms with more beds, and turned a few rooms into dorms.It's a nice place, kitchen, pooltable, free coffee and tea, big lounge.
