The room was adequate no headboards on beds, room sparse, The TV should be mounted on the wall, furniture dated but clean. Bathroom good size, good shower but the shower gel looked as it had been left behind by last occupant. Disappointed with breakfast no fruit salad and when asked for poached eggs the staff could not provide (really) Overall underwhelming and would not recommend.

Staff member at reception on arrival was super friendly and made some great recommendations of things to do during our stay. The room was a great size and clean. We throughly enjoyed breakfast most morning. Food was hot and a good selection of hot items were available. There wasn't a great selection of Continental items available. But what was there was fresh and tasty.

Clean and comfortable if a little dated - close to station and ferry terminal. Suggestion for the hotel staff to open a window before check in when the weather is warm as this proved a bit tricky on arrival

Hotel is central to Oban and within easy reach of restaurants and other visitor attractions. Hotel is somewhat dowdy and this is particularly clear in the public area and the stair carpet, (threadbare in parts), leading to the second floor, (where my room was), which did not make a great impression. My room itself was generally satisfactory and roomy, having opted for the 'Superior Double Room' for an extra £5. Room heating was turned up full when I entered, which I had to turn down. The lack of double glazing in my room (and probably the other rooms...!) suggests that money is flying out the windows...! Staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival and during my short stay. I did not try the breakfast or bar so cannot comment on either.

Genuinely one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. If it was £90 I wouldn't have complained, but £160 for one night for something that is less well looked after than my nans care home is ridiculous
