Large clean room with shared bathroom (it wasn’t clear this was the case when booking, but the other room was unoccupied). Fantastic location, quiet. Good value for money.

The room had an ensuite, though it was a bit cramped. The bed was okay, but a bit soft for me. You had an option of a continental breakfast, but the breakfast room was at another associated property 2 doors down. It was within walkimg distance of the town centre.

Sorry to say, but there was really absolutely nothing we liked about this place. From the staff to the room, to noisy disturbances for the whole night. everything was horrible. At least they could avoid vacuum cleaning at 8.00 AM on a Sunday just in front of the room. Sorry. Just try to avoid this property.

Ok, So we had to book in at a different guest house, clearly inconveniencing whoever booked us in, judging by the prickly reception. The triple rooms single beds mattress clearly had, had its day. the shared shower room (which was a surprise as I thought we had an ensuit) had other residents washing drying on the shower rail. Breakfast was in a third guest house. and at 0730min the morning we couldnt get in the door was looked. My children were standing in the street shivering. So we walked about the town for half an hour until another resident let us in. Other than ms frosty we saw no other staff in the two days we were there. I cant say that I enjoyed the scotish hospitality on this trip. If I ever go back to Oban. I'll be sleeping in my car. Don't stay here.

Unfortunately, our Room no. 4 was very noisy due to the Wind (Windows not thight, roof tiles ratteling). Toilet door could only hardly be locked. Neighbouring rooms could have been listened.

Shower is inside the room. Toilet shared on the floor. Not value for money as I felt overcharged for the quality of the hotel. Breakfast is basic, non-attended

Im not a fan of shared bathrooms and keys that are tricky to maneuver but i take into account the age of the building and the character of the town.

Booking was not clear to indicate that parking although “available” did not mean on-site or free. Had to pay for meter and park either up the street or on the street. Had to switch rooms to have toilet & bath in room instead of shared. Also not clear in the booking site.

Difficult to review. The photographs don't do it justice. It looks quite acceptable in the pictures but in reality it is very tired and tatty. In our room one bedside table was a piece of wood balanced on several bricks. A cupboard contained some old tiles and a broken door lock. One bedside lamp couldn't be plugged in because the socket was on the other side of the bed which was hard against the wall. Surfaces were quite worn. It was clean although a pile of used towels lying on the shared bathroom floor wasn't pleasant. Overall it needs stripping out with new furniture, a new carpet, and a coat of paint.

The property is spotlessly clean, kudos to the cleaners ! We were asked to pay cash on arrival as the payment machine was not working. Elaine who attended our arrival and was very nice and helpful. The property is in a very convenient location and very handy for shopping, restaurants and the watersedge where the Ferries depart and arrive.
