Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were old-fashioned and had some issues with lighting, but the bed was comfortable despite the noisy kitchen extractor fans. The staff were friendly, breakfast was enjoyable, and the location was convenient, although there were some dampness and maintenance issues.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and well-stocked but quite small and with noticeable noise from above. The service was friendly, although the breakfast didn't fully impress. The location is convenient being close to shops and restaurants, but there were a few drawbacks in the dining options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were just beautiful, with huge and comfy beds, but my room facing the parking lot was very quiet, while the one at the front of the hotel was hot and stuffy on a particularly sunny day in Scotland.
I had a lovely stay over the Easter break at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and being in a rear-facing room made it exceptionally quiet, perfect for relaxing. The staff were all friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was excellent, with easy access to the waterfront, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was pleasant, although there were some timing issues with breakfast. Overall, a great place for a getaway.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, right in the heart of the town, perfect for exploring various attractions. However, the room was uncomfortably warm, and the shower was inadequate, with scalding hot water reported. The size of the room was quite small, feeling like a cramped single room with a double bed dominating the space.
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were of a reasonable size, spotless, and very well furnished. The staff were clean and friendly, always on the premises and extremely helpful. The location was excellent, allowing me to walk everywhere in Oban and providing safe parking. The dining experience was grand, especially enjoying a Gin & Tonic in front of the fire. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
