We stayed here for one night in April 2012. The hostel was very busy but we were dealt with it efficiently considering we had made a last minute decision to stay here. There were three of us in a quad room with en suite and it was excellent value for money. The hostel has gone through an upgrade so the... More

I stayed here during the winter with my two sons for two nights. Very nicely refurbished, very clean and a magnificent view of the harbour. Staff were friendly but they did forget to to cook the breakfast we ordered. They redeemed themselves the following day with a good fry up. Would definately visit again. Only complaint is that the beds... More

This hostel holds a view up the Kerrera sound on Corran Esplanade, Oban. The staff are very relaxed, helpful and always friendly. I thought we had walked into a 4* hotel but no, it was the Hostel. The position is good - a mile into town but lovely views on the way along the shore of the sound. There is... More

We stayed here the first night, after the hostel had been closed for a year for refurbishment. They have made a lovely job. All leather sofas and very modern looking. We were staying in the adjacent lodge which unfortunately the refurb had not extended too. The wallpaper in our room was stained and the border was peeling off. Was a... More

Limited car parking was a problem (the manager did not like his area being used as a turning point which meant backing onto a blind bend). Also some staff training problems. The shower did not work on the first day and the second day the staff could not confirm whether the shower was fixed (unwilling to step into a cold... More

If you want a good night's sleep don't stay here. While we were here there were bus loads of foreign school kids and tour groups loading in at night. The lounge room has a nice view over the water but the TV only has 2 channels and the lounges are missing their bases so you fal through to the floor.... More

I would stay here again and I would recommend this place... More

Our experience of the place was fairly decent. The building is a traditional Scots stone villa with large rooms including the public areas overlooking the water. Our room was large and clean and generally well equipped. It's not in the centre of Oban but Oban ain't a large place by any stretch of the imagination! It's an enjoyable short walk... More
