2.5 / 5.0
Amazing stay. Use this place loads and its total value for money. Can’t argue with the pricing which is half if its closest rival and with the pub joined which has great staff and entertainment; you can literally fall out the pub into bed!!!

Our stay was just ok but not what I expected. Entrance through a very busy pub/bar, cobwebs in the room and noise from the bar at night.
1.5 / 5.0
I’d give this 3* based on price we paid, room was warm and comfortable but the hotel
is clearly being renovated and the room needs a bit of tlc. Fine for a night and has potential for future.

It was what we paid for cheap and cheerful, one night only.

You sleep above a dingey, LOUD pup - prepare for no sleep.
We kinda knew what we were in for but needed a keep stay and for that it done the job but an awful place. It's filthy and so dated, it was a laugh or cry situation and we just had to laugh, get out head down and leave as soon as possible.

It was shocking for £70.00 a night. My room was disgraceful and shabby. The hotel/pub was full of drunk people wandering around the corridors shouting. Loud inside and out. Karaoke could be heard until gone 1.00am. A rough place and rough experience all round.

As with previous reviews the place needs a total refit. When I booked I had read the reviews and new what to expect . The room was cheap and we got what we paid for . The bar is good with nice staff. Black linen is a no no !
2.0 / 5.0
It is important to remember that this is a pub first with rooms playing second fiddle. That said, the room was good for the price and just distant (meaning on the second story) to where the noise, even on a Saturday night, could not be heard. There was even a separate entrance having a key so the drunks could be avoided. I'd stay there again, given the price.

The building is quite run down- the hostess was fine - the place was OK or should I say , an experience !
0.5 / 5.0
Filthy window, bathroom and shower
Lounge filled with empty cans and food waste, pizza boxes with half eaten pizza in them
Peeling wallpaper, threadbare stair carpets poor paintwork
Needs complete overhaul or demolition

Clean and comfortable although above a pub very quiet. Excellent location for town and travelling. Made to feel welcome. Plenty of eating places round about. Would highly recommend this accomodation
4.0 / 5.0
This is very close to the station and ferry terminal, there is reasonable paid parking nearby.
Very central to town.
The bar is nice.
The hotel maybe a bit rundown but for the price you cant complain, it has a shower and internet TV
2.0 / 5.0
Staff were okay but we had to enter and leave through a side door or walk through the bar. The room we were in had mould in the bathroom and the plaster above the bed was cracking and looked like it had a water leak. The beds are comfortable but not over comfortable. The view from the window was of a slate roof.

I enjoyed my stay at the Claredon. Aside from having to navigate some narrow stairs with my luggage, I don’t have any complaints. The room was warm, dry, and quiet, which was a nice reprieve from the Argyll rain. All in all, I would stay again!

Great little location pretty much in the middle of Oban and walking distance from everything
Ok its got some stairs to get to your room, but the rooms are quiet clean simple and do the job perfectly. My 3rd visit this hotel and this is now my first choice hotel in Oban. I will be back

The hotel is very very outdated. Wallpaper, paint mould is falling from the walls. The cobwebs have grown cobwebs. The bathroom window is held sut with a towel or two. The toilet nearly falls off when you sit you arse down. The shower is the perfect size for a little person. Once you get past the cobwebs, mould and you come come out dirtier than when when you went in. Beds was ok covers were clean beds rattled. Ive saved the positove toll last

Budget room very clean and hospitality tray excellent. Bathroom a wee bit tired as was the room but the comfortable bed and clean bedding made up for it.
Had an issue with the TV not working but this was rectified immediately.
Good access to restaurants as no food offering at hotel.
Would defo make a return visit.

2.0 / 5.0
When you walk in you’re taken aback by the decor and the old pub look. The lady behind the bar was pleasant enough but too busy to talk to me as she was on her own. All the men were staring at me so I hid in the corner until eventually the lady came out. My room was on the top floor and there’s no lift. A nice customer took my case up for me. In the morning I had to bump it down 3 flights of stairs. It was cheap and dated and scruffy. And there’s no food at all!! You have to go elsewhere for something to eat. It needs renovation and a reception desk and new beds and my door was broken. I won’t go there again.
0.5 / 5.0
The worst hotel stay ever. Filthy damp and smelly. Mould water and leak stains on ceilings. Abominable bathroom. The communal areas full of old furniture. Fire doors wedged open, fire escape rusted, fire alarm system beeping for 3 days. Electrical putlets didnt work. Curtains were torn. A disaster waiting to happen. Honestly, go to a backpacker, it will be better.
The only positive, linen was clean, staff friendly.
4.0 / 5.0
This hotel is above a bar but we had a top floor room so wasn’t too bad for noise.
The room was and bathroom are basic but good.
The places needs a bit of TLC but for a short stay is great room has everything you need and is comfortable

The in keeper was nice enough, but the hotel is really gross, old, run down and unkept. The pub downstairs is loud and lots of smoke. We went for a walk and when we came back the carpeted stairs were full of vomit! The makeshift shower is pathetic, TV stopped working and wouldn’t turn off, and the beds are very uncomfortable. Do not keep this hotel in your porfolio. It makes you look bad!

It’s great value for money. Right next to the train station, the ferry terminal and Wetherspoons (good pub food, handy for early breakfast). I’d definitely stay there again.

Good
1.5 / 5.0
Both our rooms had new carpets, comfortable beds , clean towels and a hospitality tray. Neither of us could get the water warm enough for a shower.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the bar is our favourite in the town, it is as described in the hotel information.
The location is excellent for all services .
