    The staff was excellent and efficient, the breakfast offered was warm with a great selection of food. This hotel was located in a central area just off pubs, restaurants, trains and ferries and train station/ferry port & town centre. I checked out St John's Cathedral, that was set relatively near the property👍

    Comfortable older-style hotel, very clean, very pleasant and friendly staff, location handy for the centre of Oban and the ferry terminal. Excellent buffet-style breakfast.

    The hotel is an older building and could do with some refurbishment, and though the centre of town location is handy, it also means that you get any noise from local pubs etc.

    Fine stay, as always. It's fairly clean, lovely staff and location. The location is magnificent in a nice area, close to Scotland as well as the harbour. There's Cafe Shore relatively close to the hotel, they have tea/coffee/desserts. The rooms are tidy and they have central heating, a work desk and a coffee/tea maker. The breakfast is warm and adequate, includes plenty of meals.

    The Royal is in a fantastic location, right opposite the train station and ferry terminal and near the waterfront, shops and ameneties. The hotel is an old fashioned one and has a friendly staff. The breakfast - a buffet style affair - was excellent with a wide range of hot and cold items in a large room.

    The room was a little on the small side and the floors sloped around! If you've just come off the Mull ferry you might think this is still your sea legs coming to terms with being on dry land. We didn't mind this as it at least showed a bit of character but I imagine some people wouldn't like that.

    The location was magnificent. The staff was polite during the whole stay. Thoroughly enjoyed that we were close to a railway station. It was great for exploring Oban. The room was very superior. Exceptionally comfortable bed.
