Awful. Don't stay here.
Pros:

Location only.

Cons:

Everything apart from location. Stayed in a bunk room. It's like a prison cell.

Pros:

A côté de la gare, accès facilité en l'absence de personnel. Très petite chambre propre équipée de tout ce qui est nécessaire pour passer la nuit.

Cons:

L'absence de fenêtre et la très petite surface de l'hébergement sont pesantes dès le deuxième jour.
En passant la journée en excursion dans les iles autour, cela reste supportable pour une ou deux nuits.

Great for what you pay for in a great location!
Pros:

Great location on the front of Oban next to the ferry port. Really cool room with mood lighting.

Cons:

Being proper picky, the bed was a bit on the high side, same with the toilet but didn’t really take away from the stay.

Great location and stay, but not if you’re expecting a 5 star hotel
Pros:

Fantastic location. Had a bit of an issue getting in but the staff on the phone were great.
It had all amenities my friend and I needed for an overnight stay in Oban. Incredibly comfortable beds, a private bathroom and close to everything.
If you’re expecting a hotel stay, this is maybe not where you want to stay. But when I come back, I’ll be checking here first.

Cons:

Quite noisy with the restaurant above and the walls are thin but didn’t bother us too much

Pros:

Close to pier/marina.
Everything was clean.
Good shower. Good water pressure
Drink water/tea/coffee for free

Cons:

I didn’t receive access to the hotel until 15:10.
I had to call them to get access to the front door and room.
The bed is high. Do not bother me, but the bed is 60 cm tall

Pros:

It is literally what it says, a box windowless with a bed and a wee desk. Good bathroom. Good location. Good air conditioning. Pretty clean. Basically, perfect for sleeping and spending the day wondering around.

Cons:

Windowless, a bit overpriced for what you get.

Pros:

Badezimmer unerwartet groß, trotz Container geräumiger als so manches Hotelzimmer. Perfekt für 1-2 Nächte.
