With over 75 years experience we are ideally suited to help you with all your group requirements. We provide great value, safe and reliable accommodation at some of the finest locations, with facilities suitable for groups of all sizes. In addition, we can create personalised itineraries, organise catering and plan activities. 

Whether you’re looking for action and adventure or an idyllic retreat, our hostels are the perfect base for exploring Scotland. From Highland distillery tours to Loch Ness cruises, historic castles and battlefields to the history, culture and excitement of the city, experience the diversity of our unique country.

All of our group hostels are well-equipped and offer catering for groups. Many have lounges, TV rooms and games rooms, which provide a variety of social areas for groups. Our hostel staff are very welcoming and understand the needs of groups, and are also a great source of information and local knowledge.

SYHA youth hostels can be used by educational, cultural or special-interest groups, or by touring groups of all ages.  Wildlife enthusiasts, sporting groups, tour operators and teachers will all find our hostels ideal and our Reservations Team is invaluable when planning your trip. 

As part of our service to groups we offer a commission to travel trade and a limited number of free group leader places for educational groups.

Some of our hostels are particularly well-suited to larger groups, and these include Aberdeen, Aviemore, Cairngorm Lodge, Carbisdale Castle, Edinburgh Central, Glasgow, Inverness, Loch Lomond, Melrose, New Lanark, Oban, Pitlochry, Rowardennan Lodge and Stirling.
