The room and property were clean and modern, and staff were nice. Location is very central, right in the heart of Oban, but rooms are well insulated from any noise. I'm only taking off a point because the breakfast buffet was not very good. Skip it and walk to one of the cafes around.

My husband and I recently stayed here on our honeymoon, and we had a great time! We got there early (before check in time), but we were still allowed to park in the lot out back and explore downtown a little while we waited for check-in time. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful, and made my husband a coffee, which he appreciated after a long day of travel! The location itself was super convenient - right near bars, fish and chip restaurants, and shops! Also a quick walk to the pier and harbour. We felt very secure in our room as well, as the hotel required guests to use a security code on the doors if they were coming in after a certain time at night. It felt cozy and welcoming the entire time; we'd definitely recommend!

Such a kind guy at the front desk. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. I would highly recommend this place. Fantastic location (we didn’t have a car), comfy beds, very clean and amazing staff. As single women, we felt safe, secure and welcome. Thank you for making my first trip to Scotland incredible!

Kevin was brilliant, the hotel is gorgeous and worth the money to stay. The shower is fantastic, one of the best showers I’ve had in a hotel. Hotel is a work in progress at the moment waiting for the restaurant to open but was recommended to go to Markie Dans for a meal. Delicious as well.
