Great value for money. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Property was right next to the train station and wetherspoons so did not need to commute far to check in and out of the hotel.

Cons:

Found it a bit challenging working the shower to get it to a good temperature. This was probably user error though.

Great for catching the ferry!
Pros:

2nd time here - will stay again. The bed was a little high mind - one of us could have slept under it!

Great location but beware of the height of the beds
Pros:

The location was fantastic, the room was spotlessly clean and with great air conditioning. Access via a Web page also worked really well.
Rooms without windows are also no problem, just like an inside cabin on a cruise ship.

Cons:

The height of the bed was dangerously high and impossible for my wife to get in and out at 5ft 4in tall, without using a bag as a makeshift step.
The rooms are also very small, OK for a night or 2 but definitely cramped.

Great for a short stay, modern and immaculate.
Pros:

Location is superb for use of the ferry, coach and train.

Cons:

Everything was explained before I booked so can’t complain. For me personally being able to leave the luggage before and after check in would have improved our holiday and would gave us more time to explore oban and the islands without carrying the luggage. Otherwise the hotel is great for everything you need; modern and clean, great shower, a kettle with tea and coffee, toiletries, towels. It’s like a boat cabin without a window.

Pros:

Superb location. Within one minute of walking you have the ferries, the train station, the bus stops, breakfast, dinner, drinks, etc. Within a couple of minutes walking you are in the very heart of the town.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Very nice cleaning lady.
Small, of course, but that is exactly as advertised. Great place to sleep and shower.
We had no noise from others in the building.

Pros:

Great location, especially if you're catching the first ferry, close to the station too. It was perfect for us going on our isle tour. Loved the ability to cast to the TV too.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy and the pillows quality not great but good value.
