Pros:

Room was okay the bed was quite high and hard to get up to, I am 5’2 and felt a small step up would have helped greatly I had to jump down. It’s not easy being vertically challenged! The room itself was okay there was a loud buzzing sound all night I couldn’t work out where it was coming from. When I first checked in my room door wasn’t shut properly so anyone already in could have been in there I am not sure if it is the door itself because I had to pull closed whenever I left the room.

What a great place!
Pros:

The room as advertised is quite small. I was there for five nights and had quite a few clothes. There were no drawers to put any clothes away only four hangers. It was okay because the bed had plenty of space underneath it for me to put my suitcase and pull it out when I needed different clothes. The decor of the room was very nice, done in red, grey, and black. The lighting options were excellent with switches conveniently located. What was truly fantastic was the accessibility to the train station (300 feet), to the Caledonian McBayne ferry (600 feet) and several restaurants within 200 feet including a very nice one right above the rooms. I was a solo traveler so this was absolutely perfect for me.

Pros:

Veel lawaai van het bovengelegen restaurant en dunna muren met omliggende kamers. Ligging is wel optimaal in het centrum van oban. Alleen jammer van het gebrek aan ramen en ventilatie; waardoor de co2 meter continu uitschiet tot 1500 ppm.

Highly recommend!
Pros:

Very easy access, my phone didn’t sync, I called the telephone # provided on the door , the assistant that answered was very polite, kind & was very happy to let me in. My room was clean, looked new, bed was comfortable, hot water, everything I needed! I spent another night here on my way back. Same experience, clean, new, comfortable bed & hot water.

Pros:

The Pierrooms is a great option for those looking to explore and stay in Oban on a budget. It has all the cleanliness and amenities of a full-blown hotel.

The rooms are pretty small, but that wasn't an issue for us. The air conditioner in the room helps keep the room cool and comfortable, and keeps the air moving and from getting too humid.

All in all, I would stay again!

Convenient location
Pros:

The room appeared to be fairly clean, it was absolutely tiny, maybe 10 x 8 not including the bathroom. On our second day, the lights stopped working and it could not be fixed. The service was great and we got moved to another room.

Pros:

Mostly ok, I struggled with getting into the property as the link wouldn’t work so I got in by someone holding the door open for me in their way out of the property. I got into my room fine.
Also, I had to have a luke warm shower as there was limited hot water.

Pros:

Small compact room right across from the train station and on the pier. Although smallish room, well laid out and functional and it didn't feel especially small. Including a work desk. Good sized bathroom with a strong modern shower. Never saw a person. Was just emailed an electronic key code to get in.

Pros:

The location was great. The keyless entry only works if you have a cell phone with data which was an issue for me. The AC unit dripped all night and made the carpet wet.

Pros:

I did not like any of it, the room was claustraphobic, the bed was to high. I actually fell from bed trying to get up and scraped my knee. There was no where to go to complain. Very very disappointed.
