We had a good stay at The Palace Hotel, very friendly lady welcomed us. Our room was up 45 steps which wasn't ideal for us because of our age. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were at the rear of the hotel and the pigeons outside our window made getting to sleep a little difficult, but on the whole no problems. The breakfast was amazing, far too much for us but very well presented, lots of choice , something for everyone.

My experience

It was a very last minute booking and straight forward. The hotel is old but can't complain. The lady is very nice and friendly. We stay in the top floor, good view for a beautiful sunset.

Greeted by the owner who appeared to be alone. No assistance with baggage, no lifts. Same state as a 1970,s B&B. The owner was friendly and helpful. No breakfast, although tea and coffee were available in the room. The room was small and old fashioned, but clean. The best room was the bathroom which was just recently refurbished and almost the same size as the bedroom.

I paid £138 for 1 night as I was desperate. I would never go back to this place as it’s no palace. It has no breakfast included, no WiFi, no parking and no lift ( it’s five floors) the place is very very dated and needs a deep clean. I feel it’s easy to rob customers of their cash when people are desperate. The best thing about the palace is it’s situated on the main st overlooking the harbour ( I didn’t have a room with a view) I must say the bed was clean but very hard so no sleep for me. Safe to say I would stay well clear of the palace hotel

Charming but needs a hefty upgrade

Very friendly staff. Entrance lobby smells of urine or sewer, that was quite a put down. Bad smell stopped around reception floor. Room on 4th floor, no elevator and quite a hassle to het our heavy bagage up. Old carpet, albeit charming. The fuzz from the carpet stuck on everything. Staircase itself very prominent, pretty and charming. Typical hotel room with white hotel duvet. A bit weird and old pillows. LOVELY sea view over the town and water. Creaky bed, but we slept well, and the hotel stay did what it was suppozed to do. Unfortunately we didn't know to book breakfast in advance, so that's something for others to consider and remember! :) Very well placed hotel, and we felt that's the main part of the price. The price for one night at this hotel in it's current state is not equal to each other. Ergo, the price doesn't meet the standard one expects. Oban is a super cosy sea town and very beautiful in the sunset.

The pictures on Expedia were misleading. The check in went smoothly, however, we ultimately decided to leave and forgo staying. There were many people checking in so it appeared quite popular. The cost, given what other, nicer hotels in the area were charging, we decided to leave. My smell was of older place and my eyes were itching so we didn’t feel it was a good match for us.

It’s a 100 year old property so expect to walk up stairs, it’s expected and they have done some renovations. The property smells moldy, the bed is horrible, super cheap pillows-they covered the bed in a plastic sheet which made you sweat all night and couldn’t keep windows open because of traffic. The WiFi is ridiculous and the fellow tried to convince us everyone uses an Ethernet cable versus wireless-so out of touch for phones/tablets and the room and bathroom were dusty and dirty in every corner. They also don’t allow you to bring in any drinks/food to your own rooms.

The bathroom was new and bigger than the room. Know one said we had to climb 8 fights of stairs to the tiny room. It was clean, but old furniture. It felt like a cheap, youth hostel. Very expensive for so little.
