"Overpriced for what it is and what you get."

6.0

Old and dated hotel but reasonably clean and comfy warm bed . Good location for trains/ boats/ buses. The bathroom didn't have a heater, so it was quite cold but plenty of hot water. It is very noisy when people use toilets/ showers as it can be heard from the floor above and room next door, so not good sleep quality. Also, creaky floors. Breakfast was mediocre , poor quality bread and bacon like rubber. Pleasant staff in all depts. Not worth the money they charge ,but it is a tourist town on the west coast . Can't recommend.

"A great place to stay in Oban thatโ€™s full of character and a stones throw away from transportation links and great food."

8.0

Loved how central the location was, we were at the beginning of an island hopping adventure so being so close to the train and ferry was a huge plus.

"Lovely Staff and Stuff"

10.0

The super comfy bed and beautifully laundered white sheets. I did get an upgrade from standard single to a standard twin that had clearly been renovated recently but judging by the size a recently renovated single would also have been a good size ๐Ÿ‘

The hallways would benefit from upgrading but nothing to really dislike

I loved this hotel. Those who prefer LED lights, airconditioning, automatic doors etc may find it obsolete, but i find it cute vintage/retro :) beautiful old staircase, squeaky floors, lots of woodwork, charming decor. The room was very comfy and spacious, huge bed, super clean, tea/coffee facilities, bathroom immaculately clean (kudos for magnifying glass sticker for makeup:) ). Breakfast ok, quite a selection. Location superb.
