I think those accustomed to the world of hosteling will find the accommodations more than adequate. It does require a bit of a stroll to most shops and restaurants, but the locale turns that into a pleasant endeavor, even in subideal weather.

Yes, I returned to Oban Youth Hostel after 70yrs and had an excellent experience, nice accommodation, beautiful sunny weather. Clean kitchen, not too busy, quite time of the year...but right on the Seafront close to the town centre. Travelled on the boat to Craignure before booking into the Youth Hostel..beautiful sunny day, Had a drink from the reception and sat out enjoying the sun...watching the boats come and go. Saturday morning I again travelled on the boat to Craignure another bright and sunny day, then I caught the bus back to Glasgow

Oban Youth Hostel is fabulous
Oban Youth Hostel is five star for location. Amazing views over the sea and a short walk into town. The shared dorms are attractive clean and quiet. Great breakfast buffet and huge kitchen and dining room for self caterers. Staff really friendly and cheerful. Would love to go back

The warmth of the welcome when we arrived spoke volumes - we felt like we were old friends, welcomed back to a much appreciated and well run facility. We love staying here, it's our annual 'night before the ferry' place to stay and it was as good as ever. Love being able to bring the dogs with us, sit and eat fish and chips (another part of the tradition) in the dining room and sneak out early in the morning without worrying about waking up other residents as most of them are similarly heading to the ferry terminal! Slept so well, super comfy beds!
