"Stayed in single room..very small but bed very comfortable. Could do with curtains in room as blind very light or make sure bring eye mask and ear plugs needed ..very noisy from adjacent rooms. "

"Breakfast very good, lots of choice from daily menu. Hallways and rooms all decorated in very dark colours, black in many cases. Room small. "

"Quiet comfortable hotel with all staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was as expected for a hotel buffet."

"It was our first bad experience of staying in a room with no windows next to the lake. Please be aware when booking. This bedroom should not be offered to guests staying next to the lake. It should be a store room."

"Our stay here was below the standard I would have expected for the price. On the positive side, the location was good and very convenient for getting around. Breakfast was acceptable, with a reasonable selection, and the staff in the breakfast area were friendly and welcoming. However, the overall condition of the hotel was very tired and in need of significant investment. While reception staff were polite at check-in, there was limited engagement beyond that. The room didn’t quite match expectations from the advertised photos, particularly those showing sea views. Our window had metal screws in the frame to prevent it from opening too far, the curtains were noticeably sun bleached, and there were maintenance issues such as a leaking bath and damaged plaster. We also suspected the room may previously have accommodated pets, as my husband, who has mild allergies, experienced some discomfort with his asthma during the stay. When we requested an iron and ironing board, these arrived without a cover for the board, so we had to improvise by using a towel. Another point to note was the £10 per day charge for on-site parking, which felt a little steep given the overall condition of the property. Overall, you could see that this hotel was way past its prime but still has potential to be great again, but requires significant refurbishment."

"Good size rooms. Very friendly staff. Pool, steam room, salt room, experience shower and jacuzzi all great. Excellent breakfast."

"The owner was there to help us even though we showed up very late due to car problems. Perfect stay while in Oban."

"Wonderful staff and a great location for seeing all of Oban. Full Scottish breakfast is great fuel for hike up to the tower!"
