Guest Reviews
Hotel was in an excellent location, very close to the main harbour area and plenty of restaurants and shops. The lobby and restaurant were cute and the checkin staff were pleasant, but the hotel as a whole didn't really deliver.
Room was extremely hot. We were stuck on the top (7th) floor and the heat was absolutely inescapeable. Fans did virtually nothing and there wasn't much the staff could do. Rooms were old and breaking down a bit. Not necessarily "unclean", but certainly in need of a facelift. Breakfast was very disorganized and staff (at the breakfast) were very green and not very helpful.
Friendly helpful staff. Location near to rail station
This is my 4th visit but leaving a bit disappointed. The hotel is very jaded but my room this time was really poor - faded worn carpets, shabby furniture, curtains tattered and hard to close. No rolls at breakfast this morning at 7.30am. This hotel is in a great position with great staff but......
The location of the hotel is great, just a brief stroll to the harbour. A great place to see the sunset and catch ferrys.
The reception was helpful and friendly.
Although the hotel is dated.Our room was spacious and clean.
The breakfast is self service with a great selection. A lovely touch was warm plates.
A great hotel in Oban and only a short walk to the train and ferry terminals.
My room was very clean, the breakfast was amazing, and the staff are friendly. The infrastructure of the hotel is old (creaky steps, seperate hot and cold taps, tiny elevator, etc.) but I think that adds to its charm. I would stay here again!
I stayed at this hotel 11 years ago and it was pretty poor, a family room, 4 of us in a twin with 2 put up beds, I swore I would not stay there again, but it is advertised as being refurbished!!! Superior double room, dreadful, tiny is an understatement and overpriced for the quality. This hotel has not been refurbished, avoid.
The staff were lovely, top marks to them.
What are depressingly tired and uninspiring hotel.
Walking up the stairs, the carpet is thread back and the cabinets on the staircase displaying items for sale of thick with dust and one of them the lightsare broken in them.
The window in my bedroom was filthy, but that was actually a bit of a blessing to try and disguise a disgusting view onto a flatroof outside that was unkempt.
The chamber made with the nicest member of staff in the hotel who had the best customer service. The other staff were completely lacking in customer care skills or warmth.
A pretty depressing start to the holiday in a very tired rundown hotel
The bed was comfy and the room was clean.
The hotel is old so you can hear every little step of people around you since the floorboards are so creaky. I'm a heavy sleeper, but it could get annoying when I tried to relax before bed. The bathroom was clean, but oh so old. My room also had an awful view with the building blasting strong lights straight into the window at night. I mean, none of these were dealbreakers because the hotel was still great value and I only came there to sleep, but it could feel a little nicer.
The room was very clean, comfy bed, staff were super helpful and the location is great.
The hotel could do with a bit of TLC
Near every thing
A we bit noisy, but tolerable.
Great location, immaculate room, extremely friendly staff. Thanks especially to the desk clerk who let us store our bags overnight while we took a tour to Iona. Great place to stay!
I was disappointed that there was a £10 per day charge for my dog to stay at the hotel.
Bon emplacement
Friendly staff…..good location
Very dated room, rooms very noisy…..
