Excellent Oban.
I enjoyed my stay. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. My single room was clean and peaceful with a beautiful view and an excellent en- suite. My preferred breakfast is a bowl of fruit and porridge and was very good.

Bargain hotel in great location.
The location is great and very convenient. My single room was warm with a comfortable bed and good shower room. The tv had lots of channels and I had a good Wi-Fi connection. I had a great sea view which I loved. This is a dog friendly hotel which matters a lot to me. However, my Golden Retriever could not possibly fit in the tiny lift and I found it very difficult to climb to the 2nd floor repeatedly. Next time I would have to be on the ground floor. A great bargain in this day and age though.

Hotel in a great location, but needs a lot of refurbishment, we have been many times, due the storm we had water pouring in through the ceiling above the window, this is a good hotel , but could be better
Michael, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Staff are great. Hotel is a dive!
The highlight has to be the very average breakfast on our stay. Hotel is very tired looking from when entering the hotel until you reach your bedroom. The bedroom was dated with a nice cobweb dangling from the ceiling and no BBC services available on the TV. Walk into the bathroom and it felt like you were back in the 1980’s. Broken tiles and black mould in the grout areas around the bath I guess if there was a window or extractor fan within the bathroom this may assist but no sadly no such luxury. The only way to get rid of any unwanted moisture or smells produced within the bathroom meant the window in the bedroom required to be open and even that only opened 2”. Will not be rushing back. The staff were all nice and friendly but the owners need to spend money and overhaul this out of date building.
