Amazing hostel, recently refurbished. Staff all very helpful. Beds comfy and lovely view over the sea. We stayed in a family room which had its own shower and tea making facilites. Better than a B&B or hotel! If you are self catering there is an amazingly equipped residents kitchen and dining room to make your own food. Slightly out of... More

A group of us on a cycling touring holiday stayed here for one night last week. We booked the two bedroom apartment and were delighted with the facilities. (As there were eight of us and only one toilet / shower between us it was difficult but still great value for money). Having your own lounge area was also a bonus.... More

I stayed at Oban Youth Hostel during my Scotland-Trip last June. It's a nice place to stay for a couple of nights and the staff is really friendly. For a youth hostel it is rather clean and modern. The location is good, in walking distance from the town centre. There's a free private parking space right in front of the... More

SYHA have spent a lot of money refurbishing this hostel to a high standard. The hostel facilities are excellent. Reception is open all day. When we arrived Ursula was on the front desk and she gave outstanding customer service.

When you arrive in Oban this Youth Hostel can give you a warm welcome. Our room was giant, the shower and bathroom were spotless and was really warm in our room and that's nice because Scotland in December gives a new meaning to the word "cold". Price was really fair and the lovely lady at the reception talked about her... More

We just stayed overnight at the Oban youth hostel and I have to say I was really impressed. It's a recently renovated building and still has quite a 'new' feeling. We stayed in the quad room which had 2 bunk beds with one of the bottom bunks being a double. We had our own shower and loo which were conveniently... More

We decided on a last minute New Year's trip to Oban and landed on our feet as the 2 bedroom flat was still available so we bagged it for 4 nights. I was a bit worried as to what the flat would be like as at £90 a night, it was £10 cheaper than a 4 bedded en suite room... More
