Reviews and Ratings
Despite the best efforts of the weather, making lugging the suitcases interesting, I found a fire exit just across from the room, so it was easier to get bags down compared to the other properties we had stayed in while traveling. However, the room was small, dirty, had holes in the walls, and peeling wallpaper.
The hotel offers a pleasant stay with spacious, clean rooms overlooking Oban town, providing great value for money. The service was friendly and accommodating, with helpful staff. The location is convenient, just a short walk to the city center. The dining options were good overall, with some highlight dishes. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean, warm, and spacious with a powerful walk-in shower, but the beds were hard and uncomfortable, leading to a sleepless night. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, offering early check-in and luggage storage. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the city center for great views, although it was on a hill. The dining options were disappointing, with limited choices for breakfast. However, the hotel facilities were good overall.
