This must be one of the iconic hostels. Its location on the harbour front in Tobermory is absolutely superb; the view is outstanding and closeness to all facilities is excellent. The Co-op store, just 50 yards away, has everything the hosteller might need, and Tobermory itself has a wide range of gift shops. There are excellent walks from the hostel, to the lighthouse in one direction and to Aros Park in the other. One could really spend an entire week in Tobermory and never be bored.Johnny Hardman

Arriving at Tobermory hostel I was immediately impressed by it location, right on the harbour front, once inside my impression was just as good! Everywhere was spotlessly clean. My check in experience was was smooth and efficient. I was in an eight person dorm room which was of a good size and the bunk bed was very comfortable. Overall I can highly recommend Tobermory Youth Hostel!Legsonabike

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
