Property Description

Prominent Location and Convenience
The Muthu Oban Hotel boasts a prime location at the head of Oban's north pier, offering easy access to the main shops and serving as the perfect starting point for steamer cruises or island ferry trips.

Blend of Victorian and Art Deco Architecture
Externally, The Regent Hotel showcases a unique combination of Victorian and 1930's Art Deco design, creating a visually appealing facade. Internally, the seamless merge of both styles creates a spacious and inviting atmosphere with well-positioned public foyers and lounges.

Central Location with Easy Access
While lacking private parking, The Regent's central location ensures that guests have convenient access to Oban's attractions. With ample on-street parking nearby, visitors can explore the town's shops, distillery, ferry terminals, and stations all within a short walking distance.

Shabby outside. Fine for one or two nights.
Pros:

Looks shabby outside, rooms had huge beds, chairs, tea and coffee, hairdryers, safe and nice bathroom. Old windows so noisy at night and seagulls in the morning. Fine choice for money paid.

Incredibly clean and good value for such a central location
Pros:

Really central location opposite the north pier. There are only 5/6 car parking spaces so need to be early to get one but plenty of parking nearby at reasonable cost. Incredibly clean. Lady at reception super helpful

Cons:

Would have liked some more healthy options at breakfast - like fresh fruit and natural yoghurt. There was water melon and flavoured yogurt

Idéal pour une nuit.
Pros:

Hôtel bien situé et accueil souriant. Chambre propre et confortable avec vue sur la baie.

Cons:

Le restaurant pas très accueillant, nous n’y sommes pas resté. Bon petit déjeuner mais personnel non avenant voire désagréable.

Nice room, good location, good value for money
Pros:

Newly decorated and clean room. Breakfast was decent. Great location. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Felt that it was quite good value for money.

Cons:

Some of the communal areas like the stairs could do with a refresh. I was unfortunately staying when a Scotland World Cup match was on and it was very noisy throughout the night. I expect this is an exception though. Very limited on site parking so you have to park overnight on the street (free) and in a paid car park during the day.

A good base for all that Oban has to offer.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good both for a continental breakfast and for cooked food. Property is in a good position close to all amenities.

Cons:

We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights and had every intention of having at least 3 of our evening meals at the hotel. However after our first night in the restaurant and a very poorly cooked meal we didn’t go back again. Such a shame as we would have liked to support the hotel .
