Schöne Lage, tolles Haus, super Leitung
Das Youth Hostel im Braemar liegt am Rand des Ortes. Da der aber nicht sehr groß ist, ist man in ein paar Minuten im Zentrum mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Pub usw.. Von hier kann man sehr gut die Cairngorms inkl. Balmoral, Royal Lochnager Distillery etc. erkunden. Braemar Castle erreicht man zu Fuß in 20 Minunten, Die Jugendherberge wurde während unseres Aufenthalts abwechselnd von zwei super Typen geführt. Hilfsbereit, freundlich und fleißig wie die Bienen. Habe ich so noch nie erlebt. Das Haus ist sauber und hatte genug Platz in der Küche etc. Außerdem eine große Lobby.
Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn jedes Bett ein eigenes Licht hätte. Außerdem wäre es gut, wenn die Sanitäranlagen (es gibt kein Zimmer mit eigenem WC) für die Frauen etwas größer wären. Die Männer haben da eindeutig "gewonnen".

Great location, really nice building
Great location, really nice old building, I had a very warm welcome from staff
Me and one other person were trying to get the heating on in dorm, but it was very temperamental, sometimes working, sometimes not. So she asked a member of staff for assistance, who came to look at it over an hour later, and just dismissed it with "it's an old building, I can't fix the heater I'm afraid". I would have appreciated more reassurance that someone would look into fixing it, and the offer of more duvets and/or a back up heater that you can plug into the wall (but he said they don't have any)

Delightful stay in country house.
Braemar is tiny and the hostel is just a short walk down the road from the centre, where the 201 bus stops. Facilities are excellent : large kitchen with all facilities and storage space, a breakfast room, a dining/meeting room and a large sitting room with tv and sofas. My dormitory was spacious with very comfortable bunk beds and lockers. (You need your own lock). There are large washing machines and dryers in the drying room(where you can hang wet outdoor clothing and put boots etc,) (Full large load with powder and drier for £6). You can arrange to have hostel breakfast forc an additional fee. WiFi is excellent when working but has minutes when it cuts out, but that goes with the location and probably affects the whole village,
Reception has specific opening times for check-in and out as it is not staffed all day.

Friendly and comfortable hostel in a great location
Great location. We were in a double room which was large and comfortable. Good showers and very helpful staff.
Room needed a bit of maintenance- the carpet was loosely fitted so could have been a trip hazard and the door handle was loose.
