1 night stay before taking ferry to Mull, it was clean, comfortable and the shower had good pressure. Fiona at the front desk was so friendly and I appreciated her recommendations for dinner.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This hotel is what it is. It's not luxurious, it's not perfectly maintained etc. but it's the cheapest hotel in Oban, it's right round the corner from the harbour, so a great location, with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast for a cooked buffet is great, and there's a few choices of continental too. If you are just looking for somewhere for a few nights to sleep, wash and eat breakfast, there nothing wrong with this place at all and I'd probably try again here when I return to Oban.

It is cheaper than anywhere else other than the youth hostel and it's very central. I didn't meet the staff but heard them speaking to other guests and they seemed very attentive and kind. It was quiet once people had stopped running up and down the stairs.

Perfectly located at a short distance from the main centre, Oban Backpackers is definitely the place to be for people on a budget trip. The dorms are spacious, with nice, comfy bunk beds. The toilets and showers are clean. And of course Richard. A gem of a person who makes you feel at home in minutes. He has got great sense of humor and can help you with any info regarding Oban and the isles around. We also met Venezia there who was very helpful. Will definitely visit them again on our next trip.

The Youth Hostel is in a great location, close to the town centre and all facilities. It's basic, for example, no TV, no kettle or tea making in the room and only one bedside lamp. However, we had an excellent shower, clean towels and bedding, and the room was warm and cosy.

This was my first time travelling and staying in a youth hostel alone. The staff were super welcoming and understanding. When I mentioned this was my first time, I was given a mini tour of the kitchen by a lovely member of staff who gave me a rundown of the way things work in youth hostels. I felt very safe. Thank you to the lady behind the desk.
