Excellent value. Basic furniture but spotlessly clean rooms, showers and toilet facilities. Comfortable beds. Minor issue with the sound insulation, you could hear other customers voices through the walls or the sound of closing room and hallway doors.

This place!! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, can't thank them enough. The place is immaculate and really fresh and new feeling. Showers are wonderful, with changing spaces. Beds very comfortable. Everything about this place is perfect. Super simple accommodation, but you'd expect that from a hostel! Will definitely be returning.

Our stay there was great. Very nice host and comfortable beds. The location couldn’t be more central. We had access to a nice rooftop area, a fully equipped (and very clean) kitchen and a living room with TV and a lot of DVDs 😊Upon arrival the host informed us about the trails we could walk and the places where we could get good food.

We were so happy with this hostel- it was brilliant value, central location- just what we needed. It had a very respectful and friendly vibe- quiet but nice common areas for a chat if you wanted. The host was super lovely and even posted me back some earrings I left in the room ❤️ we’ll definitely be back.

Beat my expectations. You cannot beat the value found here! The host was so welcoming and showed a lot of care for us. She had lots of great recommendations and was happy to help.The rooms were not luxury, but exactly as expected and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to cook in. There was a nice hang out and eating space.To enter the résidence the first time, ring the doorbell and wait 1 - 2 minutes. The host will then meet you at the main door on ground level.

This is a great hostel. The beds are comfy. The kitchen may be small but it has everything you need. Plenty showers and toilets. Our hostess was welcoming. No hostel parking but lots just round the corner. Near ferry to Small Islands and Skye.

We stayed at the Mission Bunkhouse for one night on our way through to the Outer Hebrides. We stayed in the twin room which was snug but perfectly comfortable. The bathroom facilities were really clean, the showers were hot and gave better pressure than I have back home! The shared kitchen and living area is a great place to relax at the end of the evening and there are plenty of basic cooking appliances for guests to use. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone passing through Mallaig!

The mission is basic but very clean and has everything you need ie residents lounge full kitchen even a balcony to eat put on. The couple who run it are really friendly and helpful. Ring direct to get best prices and availability. Ive stayed twice with my wee dog when catching early ferries. Would definitely recommend.

Prime location in Mallaig, ferry terminal and train station are literally right outside the door. For the price I paid for the 2 nights I stayed here, I couldn't imagine anything better. Kitchen and bathrooms were very clean. Showers were hot and spacious.
