“february break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

just had 4 nights all inclusive at regent hotel.. room was pretty basic, but ok. nice and warm for time of year, food was good. staff were all nice. inclusive drinks draw guests to the drinking area at night which meant there was plenty of good company in the evenings, rather than sitting in the hotel room on our own. will defo go back. very good value for money. hardly needed any spending monies. all in all, very good 4 day break. well done regent hotel... see you again.

Room Tip: sea view was stunning

just returned from a weekend at the regent. Fantastic deal inclusive of B&B evening meal and 6 drinks vouchers each night. Hotel was very clean but in desperate need of refurbishment. meals were very basic and entertainment ancient LOL. Have to say we had problem with paint flaking(dampness)in room, the staff were very apologetic and left wine in our room asway of apology. The staff were very hard working and polite, attentive at all times.If this hotel was upgraded it would be a blessing, great location and superb staff. Even allowed us to keep room on for later check out.

“Not the best!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I stayed here in August with my mother for a week. Hotel is run down and certainly not suitable for elderly people. Hotel lift only takes 2 people at a time, its so slow, and when a coach trip arrives, the queues are out to the door waiting for the lift. The place is run down and badly in need of refurbishment. Staff were friendly enough although meal times were a bit regimental at times, maybe because it was a coach trip we were on. Food was nice and hot and good choices. Given that Oban is one of our major tourist attractions, I think the hotel need to spend some money to upgrade.

Room Tip: Pick a low floor if you can due to problems with the lift.

Yes the hotel is a bit jaded but after having spent Hogmanay there, the staff, food and entertainment made up for this. A big thank you for all the effort - we had a great time!!
