Oban: hotel con bar

The old hotel was quite dated but did not disappoint, The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet breakfast which you help yourself to whatever you wish A good selection of hot food and also the food selection of continental food was good also, 5 star breakfast. Evening meal very good also would return again just for the food. Great location in the centre of town close to all amenities. Don't let other bad views of this hotel put you off as this hotel is good value for money.

When you arrive parking is an issue . We were lucky to have an electric vehicle so used the 2 available at the front of the hotel however be aware you need to have a card specific to the electric point . We had to call their customer service everytime we wanted to connect / disconnect . They also put a £35 pending amount on your bank account Everytime you connect we connected 5 times so this soon adds up. To get to any room you have to go up 12 stairs so would not recommend this hotel to anybody with mobility issues or have issues carrying your bags as these stairs are prior to the lifts. During your stay you are bombarded with messages to confirm bookings in the restaurant and to review the restaurant . This became annoying as we confirmed the breakfast booking at arrival. We used the in line booking service to book an evening meal in the Grill only to be put in the conservatory instead . We had to find our own table as there were 2 re served this became an issue when another guest stated we were sat at their table and had to move . This would have been avoided if we were shown to the table or we were out in the Grill as booked . The food is very over priced for what you get . Continuity of service lets this hotel down. One minute you are charged service charge then your not. You have shortbread biscuits with hot drinks then you don’t. Your room is serviced one day and not the next . On a Wednesday morning the hotel outside bins are emptied at 04.30 hrs and the noise is unbelievable and lasts for about half an hour . We were due to leave the following day and had a 6 hour drive ahead of us so being woke up so early was not good ! The staff are excellent and did make our stay especially Frank. Would we stay again… No.

the stay was decent. What stands out from all the similar properties is really really really good bed (double bed turned out to more of a superking), nice size tv (50+ inch), sockets with USB are a bonus. interior design is subjective to taste but its not my priority at this price. I guess one can highlight fresh furniture. Bathroom: Clean shower, standard number of towels and shower mat, hair drier, heated towel rack, shampoo/soap/body lotion and soap bar. Waiting staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast: the breakfast is usual full Scottish breakfast variety buffet, (fried eggs, black pudding, hashbrowns, scones, sausages, bacon, beans) with plenty condiments available as well as 3 types of toast, couple of cheeses and hams, fruit salad, yoghurts, various sweet pastries. Full set of teas, jams honeys etc, but coffee could be a little better, but again cannot complaint at price. The hotel it is definitely underrated. While some things around hotel are a little flimzy, dusty, it is very decent value. it all fades away when you realise how nice it is to have a fresh large bed and that it is basically minutes away from ferry terminal. Great views are come as a big bonus. Note for parking: very limited, but you can park at council carpark not far away at reasonable cost.

I stayed here with my partner and our 8 year old daughter. I had booked a sea view double room and requested a spare bed to made up for my wee one. When I checked in they had upgraded us and gave us 2 rooms instead. The 2nd room we were given was really lovely and my daughter enjoyed having a room all to herself. I must say the customer service at this hotel is fantastic. Very helpful and attentive. The location of this hotel cannot be beaten. It’s breathtaking …exactly the place to go if you want to be off the beaten track and surrounded by clean fresh air and nature. The hotel is snug and cosy with a charming Scottish feel. We had dinner and the food quality was superb. There was a wait in between courses as mentioned in other reviews but we didn’t mind as the atmosphere was so nice and chilled. We even got some beautiful palate cleansers in between courses. Hotel was lovely and quiet at night. Bed super comfy and cosy. Breakfast was great ..we got greeted by a lovely man in a kilt who was very attentive. All in all we had a great wee stay here and will definitely be back.

Un hotel affascinante e particolare che ricorda quelli dei film in bianco e nero. Ottima posizione, a 10 minuti di auto da Oban, camere datate ma proprio per questo piene di fascino e dotate di tutti i comfort. Doccia, vasca, tv, asciugacapelli, salottino, bollitore con te, caffè e biscotti… ottimo il servizio. Anche la colazione è varia e abbondante. È possibile ordinare piatti caldi (uova, salsicce, pancetta…) e servirsi al buffet (a dire il vero un po’ nascosto!) per croissant, yogurt, frutta, affettati… Anche la cena, nel ristorante annesso, è di buon livello e a prezzi allineati ai locali della zona. La nostra camera, poi, aveva un terrazzino con un salottino esterno che aggiungeva una nota in più… bellissimo!

Tutti i membri del personale del desk front sono il migliore attivita' di questo hotel. Il posto potrebbe fare con un aggiornamento dei loro apparecchi e mobili nelle loro stanze. Mobili morbidi sono ok. La pulizia potrebbe essere un po' meglio. Mi hanno prestato le mutandine per poter usare la stanza a vapore e è stato un grande supplemento al mio soggiorno. In generale, darò al posto un 3/5.

La posizione è eccellente, la stanza non è grande, il servizio è buono

it's a shame the hotel currently doesn't offer evening meals, as after a long journey the last thing we felt like was trying to find some where to have an evening meal. the hotel was very clean, comfortable & staff were friendly & helpful. the bathroom in the room we were in was small & compacted but functional, with the advantage of a large shower. the bar was always empty so didn't feel like being the only 2 in the bar so we didn't have any drinks, we didn't have breakfast it looked & smelt lovely. Feel it would have been a different experience if evening meal were being served. its a great location, saying this if in the area would use again

Having read some very negative reviews I was uneasy about the booking which our group had made to stay here for several nights. What did I find ? Friendly welcoming staff, warm, spacious comfortable rooms and breathtaking views over the bay. Service in the dining room was good and the breakfast buffet offered a good range of hot and cold choices. The hotel lacks the uniformity of a corporate chain hotel but that's part of it's charm. It's not perfect but it was more than adequate for our needs. Would happily stay here again.

Booked this hotel as part of our honeymoon trip because our original hot was awful and had to leave. They were very attentive from the first point of contact. Rooms are small but lovely! We had an enormous amount of stuff as we climbed Ben Nevis and it was still good. The view was great, we paid extra for a sea view, we did not hear the road at all! Dinner was hearty and delicious. If I could offer some feedback at all, it would be that breakfast should have orange juice not squash, and toast should be made to order so it’s warm rather than made at the beginning of breakfast and given as and when you arrive for breakfast, other than that, can’t fault it! Thank you
