Gute Lage, freundliches Personal, bequeme Betten, großes Zimmer.
Relativ dunkles Zimmer, Frühstück in sehr kleinem Raum mit eingeschränkter Auswahl und Wartezeit, da zu wenig Personal. Achtung: Zimmerservice erfolgt nur, wenn man aktiv das Schild an den Türknauf hängt. Darauf hingewiesen wird man vorher nicht.

Unglaublich herzliches Personal, leckeres und frisch zubereitetes Frühstück, Zimmer mit Wohlfühl-Charakter! Wir würden hier jederzeit wieder übernachten - auch für eine längere Zeit!

Great location for town centre
Fine for what it is. A small central hotel good for a base for exploring central Oban.

Location just off the boulevard in a quiet street. Friendly staff who ran a fast and efficient check-in / check-out process.
Downstairs lobby, stairs and room as well as bathroom were all a little small / tight. On streef parking is possible but 2 hours at a time, so better to find a parking garage.

Friendly welcome, modern, clean rooms, decent breakfast, much better all round than many other hotels in this price range that we've stayed at. Would stay again.

It was centrally located and fairly updated. The room was clean.
The room was a little run down, especially the bathroom. The AC didn’t work in our room. The key to open the door was difficult to use.

The property is within walking distance to the center of town. It is very clean, the staff was very helpful and polite.
I booked two rooms, one for a group of 3 and another for a group of 4 (two adults, two children). The room for the group of 3 was big enough (regular bed with a rollaway bed) and a large bathroom. The room for the group of 4 was tiny. This room had the regular bed, a rollaway bed and a sofa bed. with the sofa bed open, we could not open the bathroom door the entire way. The sofa bed was also super squeaky. Luggages had to be placed under the beds.

Great location, lovely staff and nice breakfast
Could not turn down the heating. Room was too warm
7.0
Very quiet, comfortable bed, great shower. Wifi was good, and there was plenty of tea + coffee etc in the room. I booked a compact room and it didn't feel compact at all, perfectly adequate for one person! Great location too close to centre of town.
Word of warning - no parking at the hotel itself. Parking outside on street free after 6pm until 9am the next morning. I got lucky and got a spot so no issues, but if it's busy I suspect it's at a premium! Room was a touch cool and I couldn't work out how to turn up the heating! Otherwise, a lovely stay.

Breakfast was delicious and very flexible, extra coffee was not a problem. Staff were helpful, friendly and efficient.
There's no lift, but that was not a problem for us.

Great hotel. Very clean and grest location.
Beds were not the most comfortable.
Room heating temperature was either incorrect or wrong as it was either far too warm or any attempts to lower the temp were incorrect.
Shower was fantastic but could have flooded the appartment due to poor drainagr.

Location was great, staff were friendly, very clean and modern room and breakfast was excellent
We had a room on the 3td floor which had loads of stairs to it. My partner has cataracts and struggled to see the steps it was lucky I was able to guide him..wouldn't recommend to anyone with mobility issues

Staff all very friendly and great location. Breakfast was delicious and well done in their pantry area.
No parking, but used the recommend YourParkingSpace.com which charged £5 per day. So no real issue

Was perfect location and good sized room.
The squeaking floor boards constantly outside our room and that it was 2 single beds joined together rather than 1 double bed.

Only downside no parking at the hotel
9.0
Location - very central yet quietly tucked away.
Staff - very helpful when we couldn't open our window and had an issue with the telly.
Breakfast - a lovely selection and freshly made to order, which was very refreshing. None of your usual lukewarm, rubbery buffet breakfast.
We chose a compact room, which was exactly what we got. Next time (and hopefully there will be a next time) we'll choose a bigger room and I have no doubt it will be perfect.
