This is a fantastic location in a beautiful setting with immediate access to local amenities and free/surprisingly easy parking. Good communal facilities including a nice lounge and a dining area that enable us to squeeze in about 50 people for a final Munro meal and celebration. Tobermory has plenty to keep you occupied even on the unheard of damp days. The Mull Museum next door is worth a look and the harbour is a constant source of sights and goings on.Wilf Williams

Very nice hostel with a perfect location in the center of Tobermory. The man at the check in was very friendly and helpful (helping to get our cloth dry!) and gave as good tips for visiting Mull. The kitchen is clean and fully equiped. The building is very old , so there is not much space and the bathrooms are a bit small, but the overall experience was really fine. Thank you!Reingard Hensler

Tobermory is breathtaking from the moment you arrive. The hostel is so conveniently located in the town and you may have a room with a view of the bay. A great place to stay to check out the island, the nearby islands or just hang out for a couple of days in the nearby area. Staff was very helpful and professional.- Cheryl, Toronto, Canada
