Linlithgow Lodge

Basic but very clean and comfortable, perfect for what we wanted. The beds were really comfortable.

Excellent space to stay. Will highly recommend and will book again in future visits. Our best stay over all in a month of travelling europe and uk. Also Mt fav suburb for location. Excellent staff. Love the community imput and support for youth services. I would like to have taken my rubbish out to a communal bin so not leaving it for staff. but couldn't find where that may be located so apologies we left a bag of rubbish tidy but would have perhaps recycled and removed b4 departure

“Amazing!”

It had absolutely everything we needed, like a Room of Requirements with the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Everything was spotless, the items in the kitchenette were logically organized. The location was amazing, right next to the city centre with the castle, the lake, cafés, pubs, grocery stores, restaurants, pastry shops all within a short walking distance. The staff was exceedingly kind and approachable. I can’t think of anything, but keep in mind that the lodge doesn’t have elevators. At least I haven’t seen any, but it was ok for me, I could carry up my luggage on the stairs.

The spot is spot on, and having a kitchen to use is a real bonus. Nothing else stood out.

“Pros and cons. Could be improved.”

The place sits right next to a huge Tesco, the station, and the high street, and there’s free parking. The room is warm, roomy, the bed comfy, and the TV works great for iPlayer. The shower is good and the price is fair. I appreciate the community‑support vibe and that the old council outdoor activity centre is still hosting guests. The booklet had useful info, except it didn’t explain the heating. There’s no visible staff on site, though you can call them if something comes up. It feels lonely and soulless when you’re alone, as I was after my partner fell ill last minute. If you’re by yourself and unsure if anyone else is around, it can feel a bit scary. I’ve stayed twice and never saw another guest the first time. Because the cooking, eating, and storage areas for non‑fridge food are missing, you rarely get to chat or even see other guests. The big lounge with chairs, tables, and a TV is in a separate building accessed through a small private area, requiring two entry codes to go in and out of the main hostel, and it’s rarely used. You’d have to store your food in the hostel kitchen then carry it outside to reach the lounge, and there’s no toaster, hob, or oven in either kitchen. I was surprised that despite the free food and coffee, there was no single teabag in the small kitchen, and the big lounge only had a limited supply unless you’re into peppermint tea. I kept my own tea in the bedroom because nowhere else seemed suitable, which was inconvenient. Bedside lights, a small table in each bedroom, and the small kitchen would help. Better instructions for the heating would also be nice. There’s radiator heating that only turns on sometimes, and a remote for an efficient wall heater that I didn’t notice, thinking the heater referred to was the traditional radiator. The instructions say look for a green light, which never shows on the small remote. It does work, but because there was no green light I assumed it didn’t and asked for help. I’d pay a bit more for better cooking and eating facilities.
