We stayed in a really spacious double room in the lodge with ensuite shower. It was the best shower I've ever used!! Perfect temp, power and the best shelf for soap ever!.The lodge had it's own kitchen/ lounge which had everything you could need and was warm and relaxing. Great view from the front. Highly recommend!
Stopped here for one night before getting an early ferry out of Oban. Perfectly adequate room with plenty of space for two people and a dog. A broken boiler meant the shower in our room was not working, but this was well communicated to us prior to our stay, offered use of the shared bathrooms in the building instead and given generous refund for the inconvenice. Clean premises, fast WiFi and friendly staff.
Had a lovely stay in Oban, the hostel wasvery comfortable. Staff pleasant and helpful. Very handy location, easy walking to town. Huge kitchen, loung area
