This was night four of my Inner Hebrides holiday on the MV Hebridean Princess. Night 4 on a long very long journey from the south coast.
The hotel is imposing, central, very convenient for the railway station, the ferry port and the town centre. It is a "grand" hotel in the tradition of Victorian grand hotels.
The staff are friendly, helpful & knowledgeable and gave me the advice I needed.
Not withstanding I'd booked in March, I was up on 5th floor in a room which was fine for one night but might have become a little claustrophobic after a few days. But it had everything I required, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean ( if lethally slippery with its glazed ceramic tile floor) It had a desk, a window which opened, WiFi and a TV. The furniture does look like it was purchased in a 1950s auction, but it works. Given the slightly "tired" appearance of the hotel I fully expected to find a Gideon's Bible in the bedside drawer.
Supper was a mistake, it was all a bit burghers or spag.bol. or scampie/lasagne/ mac.cheese & chips and the choice of beers was limited to cold lager, cold Guinness or chilled John Smiths, probably the world's worst bitter.
In the morning I took one look at what was on offer for breakfast and stuck to toast, marmalade & tea.
It's clearly a very popular, friendly & successful hotel which merits a solid FOUR.
It just needs a more imaginative menu, a good range of Scottish real ales, a bit of a brush up and thicker walls between rooms.

Our stay was most enjoyable, the staff were very helpful. Our room was spacious and clean but would have benefitted a second chair.

Room and Breakfast were satisfying.
For the evening meal I would recommend to go to one of the many good / excellent, also some for snaller budgets, restaurants around the harbor.
Fish&Chips was okay, but frozen and fried.

The parking was very tight. When I asked at reception about alternatives the young man looked at the CCTV and told me there were "plenty spaces" . I'm actually an Observer with the Institute of Advanced Motorists and there were no spaces without everyone having to reverse out onto the street. But it was his argumentative attitude.

The rooms haven’t been updated in some time but that was part of the charm for us. We felt like we had stepped back in time a bit and the chipped paint and wallpaper pealing in the corners was part of the fun as the room was clean and the bed was comfortable

Minimal parking at the property, and most Oban car parks are pay and display. Property itself was quite outdated, with wallpaper coming off the wall and the room being very small
Staff were fantastic and helpful, the location was perfect for experiencing Oban, and the food was very nice.
