“We picked this place because it had excellent ratings. My experience was:
Very difficult to unload car on an incredibly tight road. I had a heated row with a local resident who was very aggressive. The parking which was at a public viewing point was up a steep hill about 400 meters away. The bathroom was not cleaned well with unpleasant marks in the toilet, dusty bin lids etc. cobwebs and dirt on window. House was run down and very outdated. Walk into town was about 12 minutes down steep...
“Great place right in the heart of Oban. 2 minute walk to Oban Distillery. The whisky bar downstairs was really fun and convenient. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful.”
“Great for a quick overnight stop before the early ferry from Oban.
There is no on-site staff at the hotel, however they are located at one of the sister hotels nearby.
Note that you need an access code to gain entry to the hotel which is sent via email the day before you arrive.”
“Not worth the cost. The bathroom fan wasn’t working and the shower drain needs unclogging. I had to stop the water for it to drain or it would have over flown the base. The stove light didn’t work. There was no toaster. No facial tissue/kleenex. The dish sponge was used (not good for someone with food allergies like me). There were only two glasses.
And be warned, if you are on the top floor like we were, the sun shines on the sliding door all afternoon and into the evening, making the place...
“Despite how it looks on the outside, this is a very nice hotel. The outside looks rough and needs some attention, but our room was lovely. If you have heavy luggage, be aware that you have to bring it up several stairs to reach the lobby (there is no ramp or lift - the stairs are the only way). The breakfast was good, the people were pleasant, and the amenities were fine. The standout feature of this hotel is the location. Oban is a really lovely town and this hotel is right across from...
“Great place you don’t get to see the owners. The shower needs looking at as the usual hotel leaking to the head of shower minor issue to sort. I would recommend replacing the TVs in the rooms another small issue but modern TVs in hotel rooms is a game changer and very important. Parking for 5 cars safely anymore it needs to be shared parking with friends. I over heard an American telling their friend to park right up to my bumper I am glad they ignored this… as would not be impressed with such...
“We were there for 2 days and we thought it was good the building was a bit tiered the room was nice and tidy the view of the bay was great the staff were very nice and helpful and nothing seemed to be too much bother”
“The big nitpick for is lack of parking. Unless you're strictly staying overnight and leaving first thing in the morning you have to pay. It's kind of cheap but it's the principle of already paying for a room.”
“This hotel is not suitable for disabled people as there is no lift on the ground floor but there is one on the first floor. Over all speaking as a disabled person the value for the few days I spent there too high .would I return no”
