Good location
Standard hotel service and looks. Overpriced for what it is. But location is amazing with free parking
Loved the waterfront view from the bedroom. Absolute joy!

Room clean & comfortable. Very short-staffed. Menu limited and not what i had expected from looking on-line. Food not very good for evening meal. Breakfast was better.
We enjoyed our stay! Close to public transport and lovely view of the water. Quiet and clean. Breakfast was good.

We arrived at the hotel in a howling rainstorm and we enjoyed sitting in the lobby until our room was ready. We ate in the hotel dining room: OK food; nothing to rave about. The room itself was advertised as having a view of the bay which it did have--but very small window indeed. Pleasant staff.
Hotel had a great location. It was not clear that a family room would be a motel typeof room behind the hotel and room facing parking lot and container. Not great shower
Our room had a lovely view of the bay. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our booking included breakfast but we had an early tour pick up so we were not able to enjoy it. The hotel provided a nice bagged snack with sandwich, fruit, water and roll as an alternative. The hotel is located at the end of town. In nice weather it would be a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to town center, but it rained while we were there, so we did not venture out on foot.
a few big and thick spider webs could be found inside the room. the exhaust fan in the bathroom was FULL of dust. I believe it was not cleaned for at least 3 months.
Staff was nice, swimming pool was nice.
The hotel has a great location on the seafront with spectacular views. It is close to restaurants & bars all within a short walking distance.
The hotel is clean & is tastefully decorated.
The staff are always helpful & friendly.
Breakfast has a good choice of good to suit all dietary requirements & is presented well.
I would definitely choose to stay here again the next time I'm in Oban!
Lovely staff at this older hotel not as near to ferries as site advises but definitely walkable without luggage in tow!
Room was chronically cold and shower in room difficult to use. Pool was great as was steam room. Dining on site was good. We would return.
The hotel was very clean and the staff were all amzing. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would rcommend the hotel to anyone.

Poor menu. No staff on bar - covered by reception staff. Coffee lukewarm from bar. Some tables in dining area nicely set up with tablecloths and cutlery. Others plain. No reason given. Hot plate warmers not on for breakfast and plates cold. Rooms nice extras like water shortbread mints hot chocolate.
Very accommodating staff, extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great as well. Room had everything I needed in the single new room. Would highly recommend!

Poor service
The staff was (with the exception of the Scottish ladies) a joke - pure Fawlty Towers standard.
The food was not too bad but the service...

Caution staying in ‘annexe’
Stayed in ‘annexe’ as family room out back of hotel. Moved room due to mattress having broken springs. Rooms are tired but clean. Views are of car park, container, sofa dumped outside and coach parking.
Service in restaurant was diabolical. 2 staff were trying to do everything and one didn’t have a clue what they were doing. Tables left uncleared and food came out slowly. Quality of evening food not good - pasta dish for main course was inedible. Ate out second night even though dinner was included in rate.
