Clear and accurate instructions about entry and we had off-street car parking. In Room 2 there was one chair and no desk. A warm and cosy room. Ours was a three night stay. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie-Claude 6 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was very clean, very quiet and the property was easy to access, in a safe neighborhood and in a walkable distance from the train station/port area. Unfortunately, the standard double bed was a little tight and we wish we would have had a queen-size bed. ##### Marie-Claude Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 14 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great little apartment a block away from the main streets of Oban, with off street parking in back and an easy walk to restaurants and bars. Minor issue getting email instructions on how to get in, but when I left a message to the host they called back in minutes and resolved the issue. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfy, close to the action, just no fridge. A cute place in a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the waterfront. Perfectly situated so you aren’t quite in the thick of the main traffic area but still very close. I loved the parking availability and was fortunate to not have to fight for a spot when I was there. Only downside: no refrigerator. I had to throw out some grocery items on my trip because I had nowhere to put them. ##### Samantha Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### N 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Pro - Handy to have free car park on site. Good location for town. Surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy road. Cons - Our room was very small and had no storage (drawers, etc). Temperature control did not work and so the room (number 8 and at the top of the building) was quite hot. Room could do with a paint as very scuffed - mostly due to the small space and people having to rub past the walls with luggage. Room has a large crack in one wall. ##### N Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lorraine 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed two nights. Overall a great property. Clean, spacious, nice shower. Owner was very helpful when I called about getting into our room. (Issue with expedia re not getting email about ck in.) Would have been nice to have a refrigerator and top up of coffee pods. Had to park on the street one night but no parking fee was required between 6pm and 9 am. Very close walk to restaurants, shopping and Ferry. If you plan to goto the Isle of Mull and have a rental car, definitely take it on the Ferry! Tough to get around Mull otherwise. Buses and taxis are very limited! ##### Lorraine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### W 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Review Issue with the booking due to the booking agent. Staff were friendly and helpful on the phone and resolved very quickly. Because booked through hotels.com and not Expedia we didn’t get access codes. Nothing to do with the venue or us and efficiently and effectively dealt with. Nice and cosy room ##### W Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very central location with easy access to town and restaurants. Easy to access by car. The bed was very comfortable (but a Double so small). The shower was excellent and the towels were very nice. The room was small and because we were on the top floor the walls were sloped to the ceiling making the room feel even smaller. Parking, unless you grab a spot early is on the road and Pay Parking. Communication with Owner is by scripted e mails but clear directions on how to get into your room. We did have a Fire Alarm and could not get in contact with Owner via e mail. Alarm went on until Fire Dept arrived. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Raniven property was very convenient to our stay and travels in Oban. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central Oban stay Great place to stay in Oban with safe parking for motorbikes. Very short walk to the centre of town. Very comfy bed, kitchen well stocked with equipment needed. Only down side was the sofa looks great but is not the most comfortable. ##### Helen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deborah 7 Aug 2025 The room was fine. ##### Deborah Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charna Ann 14 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great walking distance to ferries, trains and food! ##### Charna Ann Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Inverness-Airport.h40011708.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Dunblane Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Apex-Dunblane-Hydro-Hotel.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information) ---
