However the view is super, rooms as clean as they can be, breakfast plentiful and varied, and the staff were helpful and friendly. ##### Ruth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bryan 20 Aug 2025 Quaint, but needs some maintenance. The restaurant food was very good, and there was a perfect view of the harbor from the front window. ##### Bryan Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alan 21 Oct 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not stay here!!! Not worth the money. The hotel is very run down, torn seats, torn curtains, faulty electrical sockets, faulty light switch, worn carpet, faulty sink plug, broken shower screen. Room cleaning is done on request, but this wasn’t explained on arrival. There is a car parking fee, which wasn’t mentioned prior to booking. With parking, we paid £108 a night for 1-star accommodation. ##### Alan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christopher 27 Oct 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is extremely dated and in a poor state of repair. The decor is from the 1970s/80s and it looks as if not much has been refurbished or replaced since then. Our room was a decent size and had nice views out over Oban bay, but there was evidence of damp and water damage and the furniture was quite sparse, so there was quite a small double bed in a large room. Bathroom was small and also very dated, though everything was clean. Parking and breakfast were subject to extra charges. This was clearly once quite a grand hotel as the building and public spaces are large and airy, but it is in desperate need of investment and renovation and was not worth the price charged ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Iain 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Well situated, clean and comfortable. A bit shabby but the sea view and friendly breakfast made up for that and I got decent value for the money. On arrival, it felt more like arriving at a car park with a hotel attached to it, rather than a hotel with a car park. Guests are not allowed in the hotel car park without a specific separate booking which somewhat negated the warmth of welcome. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0003cdc6-9088-4bda-b69f-9dc3261c020f-1756811469347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ebdeae43-ddb9-4c22-abce-66f6bab1e487-1756811469748.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Iain Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything about this hotel can be summed up in one word, spectacular! Great communication from our late check in request to the magnificent view overlooking Portree. If you’re planning a trip to Skye, staying here is a must-do. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61f752a8-67eb-4276-a147-b2995e6f5c1f-1750845484987.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/badd76ef-a636-4cd5-92d9-371efe458605-1750845487315.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd459448-8fa2-4cbe-b794-3606addfc649-1750845485821.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 23 May 2025 Good location ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Phillip 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness The place was very convenient for the town.

Staff were forlorn and disengaged. Felt like a scene from a weird horror movie. Creaky stairs, out of order lift, dingy corridor led us to a sad, little room. Unloved with shabby decor, so tired and felt like an abandoned refuge shelter. Hot water was cold, a touch of mould on the bathroom tiles and toilet paper was on the opposite wall from the toilet. We stayed away from the hotel as much as possible during our three day stay in Oban. Every moment we spent in there sucked a bit more joy from our souls. If you want to feel like you live in a refuge centre book this hotel. No joy or happiness lives here. If I had paid £20 a night I would have been disappointed.......but £80 a night!!!! Worst value for money I have ever encountered. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78b4c585-b129-44b9-b293-f262f589b5a8-1762284578089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/993c1e8a-d368-41be-b2a2-f9fdb4451be7-1762284583089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eda485e9-ca30-4ced-aa0a-c6c5ab53e71f-1762284581435.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9769f5f0-94d6-4eaa-ac73-9d1754ad1742-1762284580560.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andy 27 May 2025 The property was in a central location which was good.

Room and corridor needs a thorough clean, smells very musty.You're charged by the hotel to park your car, only to find someone else has taken your allocated space. The only positive is the linen was clean. This place needs a total revamp. ##### Joy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Western Hotel stay We loved the location. A fairly short walk from downtown and the train station. The view from our window was beautiful. The bed was a double and that took some getting used to, but it was reasonably comfortable. The bathroom was small, but clean. The shower was nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely pet friendly property- great for ferry transport ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.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) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.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) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.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)
