Inverness SYHA?

Does anyone know what Inverness YH is like?

From the SYHA website, it looks like the sort of hostel that may be
full of children on school trips.

I'm looking for somewhere to stay, in Inverness, on a Wednesday in May
after the 5th day of a two week walking trip. I would usually choose
an HI hostel over an independent, but I don't want an Edale or
Llangollen experience if I can help it!

I've used it several times, weekdays and weekends and it's not too bad
on the school party front as it is mostly small (2-6 bedded) rooms. As
the jumping off point for the North it tends to have a lot of
independant travellers.

My only complaint is that it is B&B only and the first train North
leaves Inverness before you can have your breakfast

That doesn't sound too bad.

I'll be wanting a HUGE breakfast, so that suits me.

Thanks for the feedback.

I stayed there one weekend in September about 3 years ago and it was
fine - it is a little bit of a walk from the station, but nothing to
bad. There did seem to be some central independent hostels, but I've no
idea what they are like.

The dorms were small (maybe 4 beds?) so at least you couldn't be stuck
with many kids!
