Sehr netter Aufenthalt mitten in Oban
Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in Oban. Ein öffentlicher Parkplatz auf dem noch genügend freier Parkeaum vorhanden war liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe. Die Zimmer befinden sich in den oberen Stockwerken im Hinterhaus eines Pubs. Sie sind neu und liebevoll gestaltet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Wir waren unter der Woche in dieser Unterkunft. Was wir vorher nicht wussten ist, dass montags und dienstags die Küche geschlossen hat und wir deshalb nicht im Pub essen konnten. Als Frühstück gab es für jeden eine Tüte mit ein paar abgepackten Riegeln und einer Flasche Wasser.
Das Bad im Zimmer war extrem eng. Für eine Nacht aber alles in allem voll ok.

Great place, great location
Pros:

We loved our stay at The Whisky Vaults. The location is great and the accommodation was very comfortable. We had the bonus of live music in the bar in the evening - which was just brilliant. I can highly recommend.

Una fantastica atmosfera scozzese ad Oban
Pros:

Nonostante la stuttura non sia nuovissima, la mia camera era super attrezzata e sistemata di recente.
Non c'è un parcheggio privato, ma ce n'è uno pubblico molto comodo oltre ai posti auto sulla via dell'hotel.
Abbiamo cenato, peraltro molto bene, presso il pub dell'hotel, dove - oltre a poter degustare degli ottimi whisky - c'è stata una serata con musica dal vivo. Una bellissima esperienza e una bellissima atmosfera.
Chris, il titolare, è stato davvero gentile ed ospitale.

Cons:

Abbiamo ricevuto al momento del check-in un sacchetto con la "colazione" ed in camera c'era tutto il necessario per prepararsi thö o caffè e biscotti.
