I have to say this is a wonderful hostel mainly from the stunning location right on the Tobermory front but most of all from the out standing staff, especially Matthew who's hospitality has no bounds for three tired cyclists. Thank you Tobermory Hostal for a rememberable stay.David Winter

Very helpful staff went out of their way to help us. With our three year old and 20 month old, we were high maintenance guests. But we were made to feel welcome and it worked out very well.Nick Horne

We chose to stay at SYHA in Tobermoray on the last night of a short cycling tour of Mull. The hostel is simple but superbly situated and there was secure storage for the bikes and plenty of hot water in the showers. The drying room was great - small but efficient....and it's so nice to start the day with dry gear. All in all a small. friendly and atmospheric little hostel. Thanks.Steven Jeffs

My stay at this hostel was exceptional, in large part due to Matthew and Carolina. They were helpful, patient, upbeat, kind, and ever so many other positives. I hope Syha recognizes them for their professionalism ...and just how wonderful they are!A Calgarian Abroad

Our rooms were big, and the kitchen and common room with toys are a good place to take a break with little children. With the destillery, the lighthouse walk, and the aquarium, Tobermory harbour offered things to see and do for us for several days.Martin

See if you can be in a front facing bedroom, so you get the beautiful views. The back bedrooms look into the cliff face. Although they may be quieter.Mary

Probably the cleanest hostel in which I have stayed. Excellent kitchen and dining area. Common room and single room in which I stayed were basic but more than adequate. Very accessible for buses, food shops etc. Best things were the kind and helpful staff and the brilliant view of the harbour. The waves are practically lapping at the door! Would definitely stay again.DUTCHIEBOAT

This hostel offers everything needed for a cycling and multi activity holiday – space to store the bike and a drying room to dry the clothes after a long day outdoors. The facilities are perfect the relax and regenerate for the next days activity. This hostel is a perfect base for some excellent cycling around the north west part of the Isle of Mull, either road cycling or a little bit of off road cycling in the nearby forrest.dl1ylb

Nice hostel in Tobermory. Room was spacious, and clean. Also bathroom was very clean. Only disadvantage was that bathroom was on ground floor; room was on second floor. Bikes could be parked in a shed in the garden. The hostel manager was very friendly and helpful.Bart
