Not an issue its just Ullapool is quite small and lacking certain amenities. Ps - a rolling pin in the kitchen would be good.

Great location with a fantastic view.
On top of being on a great location, the hostel was very clean and the staff were amazing! There was free overnight parking along the main street. The only downside was, people were leaving their shoes outside their rooms along the hallway and it stank.

Die Matratzen sind ok. Leider nehmen die übrigen Gäste wenig Rücksicht und sind abends lange laut. Da die Toiletten nebenan lagen, hörten wir die Nacht über ständig Schritte auf dem Gang und Türen klappern. Rohes Hähnchen im Spüllappen (was natürlich ebenfalls an den anderen Gästen lag), kippelnder Tisch. Das Wifi reicht nicht bis on die Schlafräume.

Perfect location on the harbor--beautiful view.
Best YHA mattresses ever, really. Better than some airbnbs.
Staff was helpful and we appreciated the promotion of ecological behavior and values.
