Buena opción para una sola noche
Pros:

Es una buena opción para una sola noche pero la falta de ventanas y de personal no lo hace un lugar óptimo para una larga estancia

Cons:

la falta de ventanas y de personal

Cons:

The email for access could have been earlier before I arrived. As I had to find new emails while outside the premises that explain how to get in.

Cheap, central location
Pros:

Central, very handy for rail station and all amenities. Good value for money for central Oban accommodation. Entry system based on QR code felt secure.

Cons:

Bed position being on a raised platform and with only one side to get in and out of made it difficult with two people of creaking middle-age mobility. Younger guests would probably love it!
Parking options weren’t great.

Pros:

Clean, well decorated, comfortable bed and a great shower.
We were heading for a ferry early next morning and a great location for that.
Also very close to restaurants and pubs in Oban.

Cons:

For one night absolutely excellent.
The space is small and no window means it could be a bit unconfortable for longer stays.

It was the lowest price hotel I could find and it was perfectly fine. Huge fully accessible shower.
Pros:

It was clean and close to the bus train and ferry. I appreciated that, in spite of being a small room without windows it was modern, clean and even someone in a wheel chair could have stayed since it was built to be accessible.

Cons:

No window.

Für eine Nacht voll ok
Pros:

Gute Ausstattung, alles recht neu
Klimaanlage war wichtig zur Steuerung des Raumklimas da kein Fenster vorhanden.
Der Check-In funktioniert über online links per email- daher braucht man in jedem Fall eine aktive Internet Verbindung!
Andernfalls wirds vermutlich etwas umständlicher mit dem Check-in und sollte vorher abgestimmt sein.

Cons:

Das Bett war leider schon etwas platt gelegen aber ok

Very convenient and a decent place to stay. Comfortable sleep and decent shower area
Pros:

Right next to ferry port and train station. Modern interior with everything you need to hand.

Cons:

No windows (which I knew about before booking). Was quite noisy early on with some residents shouting along corridors.
