You guys has the worst staffing during my traveling. The guy was very unfriendly and unhelpful. And around 11:30pm that night, we found that there was a 7th person coming in a 6-bed room. Good for him.

I had a great stay, quite clean and everyone was very friendly. I was disappointed to learn abut the 12:30 curfew though, would have liked to be able to come back in any time.

A really fun hostel - definitely a nice place to stay in Oban. The breakfast (not included but relatively cheap) was also pretty good.
