02 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Central location, good kitchen facilities and complimentary breakfast.

Disliked: Rude and unpleasant staff member at reception. The hostel held a private party in the lounge area that was loud and kept several people up til the wee hours of the next morning. It also meant hostel dwellers could not hang out in the lounge area.

Liked: Great location, helpful staff. Room was upgraded to a private with own tv and sink in room. Quiet and relaxing stay.

Disliked: Was a bit quiet, but travelling in winter, this is to be expected. It looks like they have heaps of activities organised for the summer, so I would definately come back then.

Liked: I mostly liked the walk in the evening with the owner to see the sunset. He just came in and asked, who would like to go for a walk to Cannon-hill. We had a great walk through the wood and up the hill, while he told us about the history and the surrounding of the area of Oban. I enjoied it very much! If I could I would come regularely to Oban , I`ld stay definitely at this Hostel and I would take part on the offered tours. Pitty,that I haven`t got more holidaies. Thanks again for this evening. By the way, Ebereschen (the trees with the red berries for the birds) are growing on the marketplace as well as outside Oban towards the castle and further beside the street.
