Good Dog Friendly Hotel
Nice place to stay at, very happy that it was dog friendly. All i would say is that if the windows were updated and the bed was slightly bigger then i would have rated higher. I will be back though.

Great value for a lovely friendly hotel
It was a great stay here. The beds are really comfortable and the rooms very spacious. We had a sea view which was lovely to wake up to. The staff were brilliant, friendly and very helpful. Only downside was the shower was always cold. The staff tried to fix the pressure right away. However, everything else was great

Great Location and fabulous views.
Hotel very tired but I had one of the updated rooms which was lovely. Staff helpful and welcoming except at breakfast. The waiter could have showed me where everything was instead of me having to ask (self service buffet) Dinner was tasty and reasonably priced.

Excellent Oban.
I enjoyed my stay. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. My single room was clean and peaceful with a beautiful view and an excellent en- suite. My preferred breakfast is a bowl of fruit and porridge and was very good.

Seen better days
Hotel in need of complete refurbishment. There was poor communication from hotel prior to trip, we were not informed of shortage of car parking spaces. Although food cooked very well there was a ĺack of choice of dishes on menu e.g. only 2 desserts. Although set in a beautiful setting our stay was spoilt by a tired aging establishment.

Shocking. Hotel is barely in working condition. In desperate need of a renovation. Room had flickering lights and random switches that did nothing. Lamps didn’t work. At 0130 woken by a faulty fire alarm.. again at 0230. We left at 0235.. I’ll be requesting a refund.

Not that satisfied for that money.
We got basement room. Sea view was covered with cars. Mattress was very uncomfortable. Carpet was very dirty. Mould on the walls. There was a very odd smell in the corridor .
