Very British

It's a nice hotel in the centre. Clean, helpful staff, perhaps a bit dated. It seems it follows a bus- tourist strategy. The bar next to the reception was not really inviting and was ran by the receptionist.

Overall Enjoyable.

location .

The Lift was in need of replacement as unable to operate as last user had left the Safety Gate Open. The Lift is unsafe and totally unsatisfactory in 2024.

Favourite Hotel in Oban

Absolutely loved our weekend stay for Mum's 80th birthday. Our room had a beautiful sea view and was spotless. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. The staff were amazing and we had a beautiful meal in Rio Restaurant. Location was just perfect too. Will definitely return in the near future.

Satisfactory as an overnight stop

Location and views were excellent. All night bar a bonus Bed very comfortable and clean

Parking had to be paid the following day and the information we were given was erroneous. The lift was old and required collaboration from guests -- which resulted in people (staff and guests) having to run up and down the stairs to look for the lift for those that couldn't manage the stairs. This could be a problem late at night. Bathroom - shower tap broken and "mended" with a screw (same in the other room) and water not very hot. Staff not especially friendy over breakfast re allergies

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einem charmanten, alten Hotel

Super Lage, sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption und der Möglichkeit auch Nachts noch einen Drink zu bekommen. Hotel hat viel Charme (incl. Ur-Alt-Aufzug), könnte aber auf Dauer mal wieder kleinere Erneuerungen vertragen. Perfekter Ausblick vom Zimmer auf Oban und den Hafen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hat gepasst.

This is an old property but the owners have made the most of it. The lift is very quirky!

We arrived a little early but were able to leave our luggage. Imagine our surprise when I received a phone call at 2pm from the male receptionist to tell us our room was ready - an hour early!

The shower was very poor.

Very friendly, clean & perfect location especially if you don’t have a car.

Very central with lovely views across the bay. We had the number 12 stateroom- two four poster beds & enough room to have a dance! The 12 windows made it exceptionally light with unbelievable views of the harbour & beyond.

Only criticism was it’s a bit dated however everything else was exceptional.

Best location!

The room overlooking the sea was just beautiful and I will book again if ever free. Very big and spacious. Quiet. Hot water taps are brilliant for baths. The bar staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Bar open all night 😀… Very nice reception staff and domestic staff as well.

The only think I can think of is the shower. It never got hot. Am not the only one who happened to mention this.

Nice old hotel in center of Oban. Would return.

This is a nice, historic hotel. That means it has plenty of charm, but also single pain glass and the heating is not a simple single thermostat on the wall. We had plenty of room and nice views of the harbor. The breakfast was your standard Scottish breakfast, just fine. Staff are friendly and we had a good stay.

Would be nice if hotel had more dedicated parking, but we managed to park for free since we were staying over Sunday.
