Lovely room and bathroom. Helpful staff. Website should be updated to reflect there is no restaurant on site (only for breakfast). Lots of places around so not a big issue but did expect to be able to get an evening meal as that how it was advertised. I’d stay again though, super location and lovely staff.

The Scot was very clean and convenient. The rooms were on the third level making it very hard for my mother to climb four levels of steps. The rooms are very warm, we could open the windows but it was very loud so we closed them. We didn’t find the fan until the morning we were checking out. Nice and comfortable though.

The room and property were clean and modern, and staff were nice. Location is very central, right in the heart of Oban, but rooms are well insulated from any noise. I'm only taking off a point because the breakfast buffet was not very good. Skip it and walk to one of the cafes around.

My husband and I recently stayed here on our honeymoon, and we had a great time! We got there early (before check in time), but we were still allowed to park in the lot out back and explore downtown a little while we waited for check-in time. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful, and made my husband a coffee, which he appreciated after a long day of travel! The location itself was super convenient - right near bars, fish and chip restaurants, and shops! Also a quick walk to the pier and harbour. We felt very secure in our room as well, as the hotel required guests to use a security code on the doors if they were coming in after a certain time at night. It felt cozy and welcoming the entire time; we'd definitely recommend!
