Pier cozy room
Pros:

Loved how cozy it was. Everything we needed for a quick pit stop

Cons:

Difficult to find-perhaps advise on site that it is next to the fish house and it’s a pedestrian street -unable to drive your car to site to drop luggage.

Great location for the ferry but poor sound insulation
Pros:

As described - a windowless box - but does have a great location for an early morning ferry.

Cons:

Quite noisy from people coming/going to other rooms also from machinery (air con?) upstairs.

It’s very convenient, properly cared for and does what it says on the tin!

You have to accept there are no windows which some may not like, but that’s part of the property description.I don’t mind.

Per essere un capsule hotel l’abbiamo trovato molto al di sopra delle aspettative! Camere pulite, bel bagno, possibilità
Pros:

Per essere un capsule hotel l’abbiamo trovato molto al di sopra delle aspettative! Camere pulite, bel bagno, possibilità di prepararsi bevande calde e spazi molto ottimizzati con letto rialzato per poter mettere sotto le valigie. Posizione comodissima per i traghetti

Living in a Box.
Pros:

Quirky.
Perfect location in the middle of Oban.
Clean. Good shower.
Aircon was fantastic.

Cons:

Pretty pricey, but it was available during a busy week. Oban Games were on.
There are no windows, not a problem but I would suggest fitting a timed light that mimics sunrise. I think more than 3 nights here would destroy your body clock.
