Just amazing! Nice place, very close to things but quiet. Sheena and Jody took care of us well and were super nice. Had a great time and cant wait to go back. Room was perfect, no problems at all.

Very good location walking distance from sights, shopping, pubs and restaurant and, very important to us, close to ferry to Mull (we planned a visit to Iona). Easy, no fuss check in, with friendly staff. We enjoyed the quiet lounge for a good whiskey and to play board games. Comfortable and clean room. We tries the breakfast one morning: it was a rather modest affair. Better pick up food for breakfast at near by cafes. Convenient parking across the street (for a fee) or on the street (free)

Fabulous welcome by the staff who were very friendly. The young girl even carried our bags up for us. Spacious clean rooms. Walk to everywhere.

This is a very dated property. It has really thin walls and you can hear everything. It’s not clean in the rooms and bathrooms. There was a giant spider as well. The sink never had hot water while the shower had the water heater button at the least. As well you can’t keep your luggage anywhere safe it was just in the area. On top of it there’s not really a check in area. I would not stay here again.

We had a lovely room with a small kitchenette. Our room was clean and super comfortable. We were able to watch the ferries coming and going. Would recommend. On arrival we were a bit worried with the dated decor it looked a bit tired, however our room was spot on in contrast. A lovely young man helped us up the stairs with our bags. Yes you can hear the loud speaker from the boats but we were okay with this. Spent 2 nights here. Close for catching the ferry and visiting shops in town.

The location was excellent, making it an ideal base for exploring the Oban area. Although the property is older and some noise from other guests was noticeable, the staff maintained the place impeccably—everything was clean, tidy, and welcoming. I would have appreciated a bathtub in the room, but overall, it was a pleasant stay with a great location.

My husband and I had a comfortable 4-day stay at this hotel. They have a nice bar where you can taste some local whisky after dining out and an option for a decent breakfast. It’s in a great location that we were able to explore the city by foot. We had a chance to talk to the friendly Scottish owner & found out that they have rooms with kitchen. We’ll definitely consider it for a longer stay next time in Oban. (And it’s great to know that this is not owned by big corps; she’s providing jobs to anyone willing to do a hard, honest day work. )

The staff were all very friendly and service was good. Clean room, fairly comfortable beds. My only complaints would be our room was pretty warm because we could only open the window a bit. I would also say that breakfast was pretty limited in terms of options and maybe not worth it in my opinion. Overall, a good stay.

Nice little hotel conveniently located to the train station and ferry terminal. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and welcoming (even opening up the breakfast room so that my friend and I didn't have to eat our takeaway in our room).
