Room was clean, bathroom very small making difficult for my wife who has mobility issue. Stairs had threadbare carpet and ground floor reception area very basic and not particularly inviting. Dining staff member was helpful and did his best for us. It was a bed for night.

Hotel is situated close to most shops. The staff were really pleasant and helpful. The room, although clean, looked very tired and could do with some simple repairs and some upgrading.

There is good and bad with this hotel, room was at an actual 5% slant , check in was great and staff in bar / restaurant where superb. But out of 3 days I also had 3 fire alarms going off. And squeaky floor boards on both mine which must have annoyed them below as the noise from floor boards above me caused me.

The hotel is very well situated in heart of town. We booked a superior double room, which advertises as one double bed in a room, we were given, what I think was a family room with a double bed and a single bed. The hotel room was clean and beds comfortable albeit very dated. The hotel, is in need of an overhaul - dated, painting and carpets replaced. The landing at our room had two mop buckets collecting water from a leaking roof! I would like to add that the staff are very nice and friendly

Wonderful room, absolutely spotlessly clean. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Location is absolutely perfect for Oban town. Carpark is a bit awkward but usable, but there is additional parking within a few minutes walk. Breakfast depending on how busy hotel is you get buffet or table sevi both of which gave you a great start to the day.
