With options limited for an overnighter in Unst, this quiet and spacious youth hostel will appeal to travelers who want more than a quick day trip and take an interest in others who end up in the same remote location. There is a basic but modern shared kitchen and comfy lounge that sometimes hosts those who have missed the boat to Yell. The dormitory rooms, which range from 2 to 11 beds, have sturdy bunks with fresh bedding provided. Book in advance to secure sole use of a room.
