Great location, right downtown. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are very small as can be expected but the bed is very comfortable. We slept well. Breakfast was good, typical Scottish breakfast and at a good price of £14.95/person. The bathroom and shower were small but the shower had great water pressure. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely convenient hotel in the heart of Oban. Lovely breakfast (best black pudding we have had for ages). The room was clean and they let us check in early which was great.

Nice place to stay. Only stayed one night, but was a great spot for the night. Central location and easy parking. The staff are super nice. One thing to note, they only have stairs so if you have loads of luggage of having accessiblity issues, this is something you should note (although im pretty sure thats mentioned on their listing).

Great hotel, highly recommend

We were really pleased with our stay. The rooms were excellent and bathroom was very modern. The staff member that checked us in and served at the bar was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a wee drink and game of UNO in the lounge. Would highly recommend
