Hotel seemed rather tired, but in some ways this was rather retro charming. Staff helpful about need for early breakfast before ferry. Interesting historical exhibit about flying boat squadron in WWII

The room was comfortable,the staff were friendly and attentIve. We booked in at short notice having driven up to Oban and deciding I was too tired to drive home. Booking in was easy and the view from the room was stunning. We opted to book in for Dinner Bed and Breakfast. The food served at dinner was ok but not... More

We stayed here for a night after a midnight ferry into Oban. The bedroom was clean, if a little tired looking. Likewise the shower-room was also in desperate need of updating and could have been cleaner. Also there was a very loud fan all night which I could not quite block out even with ear plugs. This hotel has a... More

Oban is a small Scottish town and the only nice things I can say about this hotel is; great location on the water , an easy walk to town and great for a sunset view . In my opinion, this is a hotel waiting to close which is a shame because it could be very nice with a bit of... More

The hotel is a bit old but clean. The room was spacious and clean and astonishingly quiet although it was on the street side, only the bathroom had it's own odour. Parking was not so comfortable because we had to park on the public parking lot and pay for it. Breakfast was very good and the service staff very friendly.... More

This hotel is an embarrassment to the Scottish Hotel Industry. From the battered and scratched front door to the lingering odour as we entered, to the rust stained window frames, the initial experience was challenging. Just because a place is relatively cheap that is no excuse for at best extremely poor property maintenance. We paid upgrades for a sea-view -... More
