Pros:

Die Raumaufteilung war ziemlich gut, der enge Raum gut ausgenutzt, dass zwei Leute Platz haben zum Umziehen, Sogar noch eine Ecke zum Schreiben etc. Es gab ein kleines Problem beim elektronischen Türschloss, das wurde aber sofort vom Management bemerkt und in ganz kurzer Zeit kam unaufgefordert eine freundliche Dame zu Hilfe. Das Badezimmer ist sehr schön und nagelneu.

Cons:

Das obere Stockbett ist etwas schwierig zu erklettern.

Basic but perfectly situated accommodation. Would stay there again as a cost effective alternative to hotels
Pros:

The Pier rooms are right on the seafront in Oban - excellent location! We did have difficulty finding the place as it was nowhere near the postcode location the navigation took us to but a very helpful lady on the phone number provided helped us out and got us into the property which is actually unmanned at the location. The rooms are actually located under a restaurant and we were slightly disturbed in the early hours by the noise the morning staff made. The rooms were basic, modern, practical and very clean. It’s not that easy to get into the slightly elevated beds so I wouldn’t recommend the place for anyone physically challenged. The rooms have no windows either which I personally loved as I wasn’t awoken by any early morning Scottish sunshine!

Cons:

Noise from the restaurant above, high bed with a ridge at the edge that hurts your shins as you climb up into it.
