The hotel is being renovated and some areas are not finished. Our room was lovely, spacious, comfortable bed, and magnificent views over the bay.

This is an old hotel. It has its faults and is tired. But to us this added to its ambience and all round charm. It is undergoing repairs so you have to roll with it. Breakfast was fine.

The rooms were small, but adequate. The staff was fantastic! The room was quite hot (no AC), but the front desk staff offered a fan immediately to be brought to our room….what a difference that made. The mattress was also very comfortable. We would stay here again.

I was quite disappointed upon entering the hotel foyer, and I thought to myself, gosh, it’s very tired. That said, when we entered our room, it was delightful. Everything was beautifully clean and there was so much space that we could just dump our stuff without even unpacking! The bedding was sumptuous and the bed itself was lovely and comfy. Hotels still insist on putting winter duvets on in summer though, so we were too warm at times! The bathroom was quirky but again, beautifully clean. The toilet seat didn’t fit correctly and as we were checking out, I brought it to the hotel receptionist’s attention and she said they’d sort it but I am quite sure that this issue must have been known about as it would have been cleaned before whilst in this position. The view from our window was absolutely stunning - right across Oban harbour and some islands could be seen in the distance. Just beautiful. We spent two nights in this amazingly situated hotel - a couple of hundred yards from the main town, but did not have reason to have any food so cannot comment about this. The gentleman behind the bar was really nice and we had a couple of drinks there on the first night. Prices were not extortionate.

Sadly this property does not live up to its name. Whilst the bed was clean, that was where the positive started and finished. This hotel is in dire need of updating, walls are tired and peeling. Windows do not seal, the extractor fan not only did not work but was incased in dust and the bath/shower was dangerous- filling up as you ran the shower without a plug in is a safety hazard and the residue that has built up leaves it extremely slippery. We were very disappointed and would not be inclined to recommend without some serious upgrading taking place.

I've stayed here twice, simply because it's the cheapest option before getting a ferry to Mull, but it's hugely overpriced for the experience. £40 would be overpriced. The building is falling apart, wallpaper peeling off, draughty windows, broken shower, and despite requesting a parking space twice in advance, due to the amount of luggage I had, I was ignored. It's a very noisy hotel, doors slamming, thin doors that exclude no noise. For a stop off, it would be ok for Travelodge prices, but for a holiday, steer clear. Up there with the nastiest hotels I've stayed in.

From the outside, the hotel looks fairly impressive and right by the water front. Inside, it went downhill as it was all extremely dated. The room was small and the bathroom very much had a 1980s style to it. In general, it was all clean. Our particular room had no real way to open the window by anything other than a tiny amount and the one on the bathroom didn't open at all, so you couldn't get any through draught. As a result, the room stayed rather warm - as we had arrived in the summer. The shower in the bathroom was difficult to use as it was a mixer tap, so every time you turned it on, you had to mess with mixing the hot and cold to get the right temperature. Not good. Breakfast, however was excellent with a very good choice of all sorts - even herbal tea (which had been an issue to find in other Scottish hotels). Very happy with the selection and even though there were a LOT of people, it was not chaotic at all. The location of the hotel was excellent. Not only was it directly on the waterfront, it was also only a few minute's walk into Oban itself, which was a real surprise for us, being lively and picturesque. There is limited parking on site and you have to pay £10 per day to use it, but the bay allocated is for your use only, so can leave and come back and know that your spot will still be there.

So the view from room 28 was excellent, having a large bay window to sit at night and very spacious newly refurbished room. Pity I couldnt say the same about the cleanliness of the room. When we arrived a plate was situated in the dresser draw, unsure what it was there for and there could be a valid reason, only the draw had someone else's hair still in it. The room was nicley set out, but was dissapointed to see the shelves had dust left and could clearly see where someone else suitcase had been. The bathroom was clean and to a good standard only the toilet seat moved every time you sat on it and clearly wasnt attched at both sides. Im sure this will get fixed. The bed was comfy but the pillows was too flat for me (personal preference), and would recommend asking for more pillows. We had a full cooked breakfast both mornings we stayed, which was lovely, so compliments to the chef. The staff was very nice and very helpful, especially Steve at the bar. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have an enjoyable stay and makes good recommendations for places to eat (if not booked for dinner) and places to visit. Parking onsite cost us £10 per night, so be aware when booking. We had booked for dinner one night, but was told they didnt respond our request so wasnt able to dine in the restaurant so we was a little dissapionted. I would say the hotel is correctly rated as a 3 star hotel.

Property was a bit dated, creaky floors throughout. Poor shower in our room, shower screen inadequate resulting to wet/puddle floor afterwards. Some of the staff not helpfull, on gluten free issues. Hotel very clean. With some rooms offering a great sea view. Parking is first come first served, cannot book in advance.
