    tired décor

    helpful night staff, central car park, historical charm

    Sound-proofing is appalling!!! I could easily hear every snore and shower from adjacent rooms, which made for a rather sleepless night. The décor is tired, and the radiator's control knob is a bit of a mess!!!

    Central location near pubs and restaurants makes for easy exploration. Comfortable room size, clean with a decent shower. Breakfast buffet features regularly topped hot food, which was a pleasant surprise.

    Some areas show wear and tear, like the bathrooms. the washbasin feels cramped. Noise from the street can be bothersome at night, due to the lively atmosphere. Limited parking forces reliance on street fees, adding to the hassle of staying in the heart of town.

    excellent food
    clean atmosphere

    It was a great match for a walk in the evening in Oban with decent value for money. Food was fresh, hot, and excellent. Try to book ahead for meals to avoid a wait.

    The location offers easy access to ferry and bus links, making travel convenient. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast, especially the grilled cheese, was delightful. Some rooms felt dull, contrasting with others that were more updated.

    fantastic central spot for exploring oban’s charm

    I had an enjoyable stay with breathtaking views from my room on the fourth floor and was just a two-minute walk from the picturesque harbor, which made my strolls around the city truly delightful. The warmth and helpfulness of the staff further added to the charm of my experience, making it a lovely place for solo travelers looking to explore.

    great breakfast

    Budget travelers will find it decent

    The breakfast was surprisingly good, plenty of choice and the staff were quick to clear tables. The staff were amazing, especially the young gentleman at the front desk who made us feel welcome right from the start.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but given the overall experience, still acceptable.

    charming stay with minor room hiccup

    The hotel boasts a charming, historic building. The newly renovated bathroom impressed us with its cleanliness and modern features.

    The room could benefit from better sound insulation.
