Needs better prentation
Hotel has been refurbished in parts. Our room was small but the bed was so comfortable. Small things need to still be addressed- toilet seat not fixed firmly, flickering light in bathroom not fixed. Staff didn’t seem to be focused on customer care as one fellow was on his phone the whole time when in reception. Service at bar was very disappointing. Outside entry was dangerous in wet weather.

Great location
Central location, on the promenade, walkable to anywhere in Oban, very few available parking spaces if you are arriving by car, we were lucky to get one. The hotel is recently refurbished, has its own restaurant and bar.

The staff asked me to give an honest opinion: Reception staff were excellent. Warm and friendly and very helpful. The single room which has been refurbished was not large, but imho was perfectly sufficient. Even hadca double bed. Also nice to see was that it had Tea/coffee with a biscuit and even a free bottle of water. This is something many expensive hotels dont offer these days!! Tbf the refurb is ok, but not perfect, the laminate flooring is afraid of the cheaper variety and is already showing signs of being scuffed and chipped. The windows dont open, and unfortunately the hot water takes 5 minutes to reach the tap and shower. I would also suggest a small bedside lamp be put in. There is a downlight, but its very bright and if youre lying down reading, shines right in your face. Its clear the main refurb expense went on the reception and dining room which are both very nice. In summary, i would be happy to stay again if they sort out the issues mentioned. Hotel is in a good location and also the breakfast included in the price was very good and much cheaper than what most hotels charge these days.

I thought staff were very friendly and helpful, the property has been refurbished but still has a lot to do. The windows in rooms need to be double glazed and restaurant needs lighting changed to attract more people, far too bright. We still enjoyed our stay.

Don't overlook this hotel
Not sure where the bad rating came from, but we had a fabulous stay. Location was great. The room itself was good - clean, enough outlets, nice shower. The common areas were a bonus - especially the dining room. And the staff was amazing. One worker came outside in the cold to help us see where to park, and Prescious, who works in the dining area, was super friendly and great. Would highly recommend.

This property has recently been refurbished in some areas and about to shut to complete the job. We had a sea view twin room on the third floor the views were fabulous the room was beautiful & fresh. The shower room was nice, the preventative maintenance does require some work as our shower drain had to be cleaned to prevent other issue however management dealt with everything immediately. We included breakfast turned up just before 10am Saturday and the food was lovely and fresh. The staff were wonderful especially receptionists. Thanks and good luck going forward, would book again, highly recommend.

Disappointing
The hotel seemed ok when we checked in, clean BUT our room had a window that wouldn’t close and no curtains. Consequently we weren’t able to quieten the (considerable) early morning noise or the light in the morning. Between the two we managed about 4hrs sleep. Both WiFi and TV signal was patchy at best. Nice but wouldnt go back. The shower was good

Good position and hotel in Oban. Signs of refurbished room we stayed in. Car paring in Oban is a challenge but to be air we arrived around 7pm on Saturday night so town was very busy. Overall stay in hotel was satisfactory, but Markie Dans bar was a great pub and breakfast in a little cafe around the corner was great also. Overall Oban is a place I would like to spend more time on next trip
