Convenient location, close to everything. Room was rather small but nice. Parking was street parking on a meter that had to be updated ever 2 hrs during the day….restrictive.

Oban is a beautiful town on the water, with a variety of options for dining and shopping. The hotel is centrally located, in a safe area, the rooms are quite large and it was very quiet at night. No parking on premises but that is the case with most hotels in Oban. Plenty of car parks, though, located near the hotel.

Good for a quick stay
Pros: Spacious room. Impressive water pressure in the shower. Everything in great condition. Location is central. Good breakfast. Cons: The wall is paper-thin; you can hear everything in the hallway. Staff did everything they were supposed to, but they could be more friendly.

Clean and comfortable
Clean, comfortable hotel close to the railway station and town centre. I had a small room and the hotel were honest and said it was probably best suited to solo travellers or short stays. The room was big enough but the bathroom was tiny. Fine for solo travellers though. Very clean and comfortable.
