"Quirky little hotel right in Oban. Staff are wonderful. Carpet etc a little tired and stairs can be a challenge. Some rooms have sloped ceiling in the bathroom which is a little awkward. All in all it was good but priced in a way that we expected more. Parking is at public parking lot a few hundred feet away. Super convenient to walk around Oban. Oban sits below a cliff so any hotels "with a view" will require much climbing."
