    Pitlochry Youth Hostel is situated only 10 minutes' walk from the busy but small Victorian town. With 53 beds and en-suite bedrooms, Pitlochry Youth Hostel is ideal for families, groups or individuals looking for budget accommodation. Visitors can enjoy the spectacular views of the town from the youth hostel dining room. The youth hostel, which opened its doors 35 years ago, offers two separate lounges to enjoy some quiet time or to speak with other guests. Wi-Fi during your stay: We do our best to deliver a free Wi-Fi service but apologise that connectivity, particularly in our rural locations, can be intermittent due to the level of our current broadband provision along with high usage when the youth hostel is busy. Please be assured we are endeavouring to improve where we can. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Perfect stay!
    Stayed here just for the one night but would stay again and for longer without hesitation. I was in a 6 bed dorm with private bathroom and it was perfect. Very clean and actually one of the biggest I’ve stayed in. Even had a table and chairs. The whole hostel was very well…

    Perfect
    Lovely, clean, friendly, helpful. The view was amazing. If this had been a hotel we would have paid a premium for such as beautiful view. I highly recommend it. Perfect hostel in a perfect town. Great place to stay while attending the Highland Games in September
