Friendly. Warm. Great atmosphere.Maybe it's our big comfy beds, with sheets and duvets, which we think are possibly the best in Scotland! Maybe it's the great atmosphere in our lounge of an evening, with its real fire and pool table. Maybe it's our friendly and helpful staff. Whatever the reason our visitors love Oban Backpackers: see below for more details about what makes it such a favourite! Sleep
DormsWe’ve probably got the widest, most comfortable, spacious bunks in any hostel across Scotland! Each bunk has a fitted sheet, lovely duvets and two pillows. The hostel showers are awesome with lots of hot water. The hostel has full central heating so you're warm and cosy whatever the weather outside. Plus we offer a laundry service (£2.50) and towel hire (20p): just ask at reception when you arrive. Eat
Kitchen FacilitiesThere’s a fully equipped kitchen open 7am to midnight, next to our large communal dining area. Help yourself to FREE tea, coffee and hot chocolate at any time. New for 2010, breakfast is included in the price. Help yourself to hot drinks, juices, cereal, scones, bread/toast from 7.30am - 10.30am – it will set you up for the day! Play
Lounge, Internet, WiFi
The Oban Backpackers’ lounge is a great place to relax and meet other travellers. With comfortable seats and a real fire on cold nights, you can sit and chat, read a book or play a game of pool. Plan the next day’s activities with - possibly - the largest hostel mural map of Argyll! Plus there’s internet access, FREE wi-fi - and plastic flamingos. Help!
Helpful friendly staff – just ask!Oban Backpackers reception is open daily from 5pm to 10.30pm. If you arrive earlier than 5pm, feel free to leave your luggage in the lounge, take a seat and help yourself to the free tea and coffee. Our staff are friendly and many of them, like you, are backpackers themselves taking a break from their travels. So don’t hesitate to ask them for advice or information on what to do in and around Oban. Also at reception:
