Great stay across from ferry. Great views, parking and clean.
Pros:

If you have a car there was easy and ample free parking right in the back of the building. Off street and easy for access which was hard to find else where.

Cons:

It was a little hands off which might not bother most. You check in at the bar. Its a little informal but it wasn't a big deal.

Pros:

I usually do book breakfast when booking a stay, but I made a mistake and only booked a room. Took this as a sign to explore the many cafes open for breakfast in Oban. Many others were having breakfast at the hotel and it looked great.
Hotel very central.

Cons:

The weather!! If travelling in Scotland you have to be prepared for all types of weather and we were. Rain, wind, sunshine all within 15 minutes !
The hotel was comfortable and staff very helpful & friendly.

Great location. Dishonest parking fee. No privacy in second bedroom.
Pros:

1. Great location. Right next to the Oban Distillery. Onsite restaurant/bar and many other options only a few minutes away by foot. 2. Clean. 3. Updated bathroom.

Cons:

They wanted to charge 10 pounds for parking even though booking.com listing and The Scot website both say free parking on premises. The receptionist lied and said we were notified of the parking fee - absolutely untrue.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. Only one bedroom has a door. The other bedroom does not have a door, and you must walk through the second bedroom to access the shared bathroom. Guests staying in the second bedroom have no privacy.
