The Royal Hotel

Bedroom was tiny and beds were uncomfortable

Easy to access

On arrival allocated 506 room one of the turret rooms with steps I tripped up on step the light was dim and could no see the steps went to reception and and this was rectified room 507 which was better standard and very happy staff were great enjoyed I stay at royal hotel only twice a year and they look after me very well and I will cotinue to keep going and recommend to my friends

Stayed here for one night and would not return. Public areas were dirty as was the bar. The electric plugs from tv system in bar was a joke!!! All wires twisted and plugged into adapter. Staircase was dirty and carpet was threadbare in places. Looked into the function room and it had not been cleared of glasses and drinks since a function five days earlier!!! Looked like the people had just got up and left with half drunk drinks lying on tables. Our room was very dated and the light switch for the toilet was a bit difficult to find. Finally located it behind the wall mounted tv!! Didn’t use the shower as it certainly didn’t look appealing!!! Cushions on bed were dirty. Electric wires hanging out of tv plug. We made a hasty exit without having breakfast!!! Would definitely not return to this hotel.

The Royal Hotel is very central to everything in Oban Lovely warm bedrooms and bathrooms Will stay here again

An all round good hotel.

Lovely hotel.. but run down but it’s an old building so no problem with that. Great breakfast.

Had another good stay in the hotel and central to walk about Oban

Lovely checking, nice meal at restaurant, very clean room

It was a very good stay, with really friendly staff. Breakfasts were good. Hotel was pnly 5 minutes walk from the train station.

Traditional hotel needs some attention: single glazed sash windows mean the room would be hard to heat in winter. Lovely welcome and I was delighted to get a room upgrade 😊

Nothing at present.

Value for money, facilities were just what i needed. Breakfast was super, excellent selection of items, well cooked and tasty. Staff were very polite. I've stayed here before and will stay again.I would recommend.

Reception Staff extremely helpful and advisory. Insufficient parking at the property

Good location. Beds very comfortable Perhaps a little updating: T.V. on wall rather than on dresser Toilet roll holders in Bathroom

Close too all amenities

Warm welcome and great support for my new puppy while staying there, great value and will return

Friendly welcome by staff

Warm welcome and excellent staff

Reviews of this hotel are binary - people either seem to love or really dislike it. I stayed based on the excellent price. I was "upgraded" from a single to a twin room, quite possibly because the single room was one floor above a Christmas party and the twin was on the fifth floor. The room appeared to have been redecorated quite recently though the furniture seemed to date from the 1990s. Yes, some of the carpets on the stairs are worn. Yes, the floorboards are creaky and uneven (the building is centuries old!). Yes, there are bumps, scrapes and chips on the walls and doors. But - the bed linen was fresh and clean, the mattress comfortable, the shower powerful and hot, and the WiFi fast. What more do you want for the money? Oban has more than its share of "faded charm" Victorian hotels; I'd happily stay here again
