Not the best and couldn't recommend.
Pros:

On Arrival the receptionist was very pleasant, however I had difficulty understanding her accented English. The suite was pleasant but the beds were quite hard and the decor was out of colonial 19th century India. Did everything have to be painted Gold? The Tables, chairs, wardrobe and bedside tables all Gold. The curtains were made out of what looked like Sari material.

Cons:

Dining. The evening meal, we ordered Beef Shoulder, but what turned up looked and tasted like it had come out of a tin of Princes stewing steak. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet, The eggs were solid, the bacon was so salty I was still rinsing my mouth 8 hours later, The sausages were value and tasteless. Everything smacked of keeping the price down, even the orange juice was watered down it tasted like cheap squash.

Great Stay in Oban
Pros:

The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient and extremely welcoming. The location was excellent, just a short stroll to numerous places to eat and drink and wonderful views from our seaview room. Plenty of parking was a real bonus.

Cons:

The decor is a little dated, but as the rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is great value for money, it certainly wasn't a problem for us.
