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.

Pros:

The position and within walking distance of railway station.
Room was clean, big bed, nice shower and friendly staff.
Inside the building was in total contact to first impressions from the outside!

Cons:

The first appearance, the outside of the building could do with upgrading and painting.
No seat in room to relax in the room.

Pros:

View from the window was good and our key priority, staff were generally friendly, entrance hall was clean and bright.

Cons:

I had particularly emailed to ask if the bed was made up of two singles or a full double after seeing a previous review post. They said it was a full double. It wasn't. Comfortable and fine for sleeping separately, but not if you want to actually sleep side by side across the middle as there is a ridge....so not the most comfortable for our wedding anniversary stay
