Location
Staff unfriendly and little knowledge of what was going on in Oban. Room was not cleaned. Breakfast dull. A family room with 3 beds was booked - this was 2 single matresses on a double bed and a fold up squashed in too. Our car was blocked in its space by the managers car for a lot of the time

Cozy room, pleasant staff, with excellent free wi-fi in rooms and a lovely harbor view, made relaxing at night enjoyable.
Everything was as expected.

Only stayed overnight but it was very central and handy for ferry.
Possibility of parking problems - we got one of the last two spaces in the public car park

The location is great! It is in the middle of Oban and you can reach everything comfortably on foot. The breakfast was very good. We had a room with sea view - that was really wonderful!
The hotel looks a little used to. The windows in the room could not be opened.

The hotel's location is perfect, and the breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of options. The staff were friendly and really helpful.
We did run into a minor issue with parking on arrival, as there were no spaces available at the hotel, made things a bit inconvenient.

The location is excellent.
Everything a little old and musty, in the truest sense of the word.
