    “The hostel is located in the centre of Oban and the harbour with its restaurants and the ferry terminal is only a two minute walk. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in.”

    “Great value for money, excellent service, felt very safe for couples or lone travelers, free tea and coffee all day, especially on an early start. Parking right outside the hostel, you only pay till 6pm and hen it is free overnight. Great place.”
