I stayed in Oban Backpackers as part of a 5 day trip with Haggis Tours in Scotland. I was very happy with how welcoming and helpful the owners of this hostel are. Whenever extra things were needed, they were more than happy to go out of their way to accommodate me. The room I stayed in had 10 beds but... More

As I was part of a group of four, Oban Backpackers had organised for us to have our own room which was great as sharing with a large number of people can get tiring! As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and the checking in process... More
