“Room with a view to die for !”

I read some of the horror reviews of this hotel before booking up for 3 nights. The hotel needs some money spent on it to upgrade the tired decor and fabric of the building. My room had three windows overlooking Oban Bay which made our stay a magnificent experience . Irene appeared at breakfast on the last day and provided top class service with a friendly manner . The hotel has been a magnificent building in it's day. 40% of the rooms have views of the Bay.

“fine”

It is a fine, warm, dry hotel if you need somewhere to stay in Oban and you are looking for a bargain, handy location. I would use it again as long as the fire alarm never woke me early in the morning! ha ha ha

“Faded non grandeur...... Avoid / look elsewhere.”

Staff friendly and helpful, hotel needs lots of work on it. Public areas ok and heated, rooms old, tired and shabby. Decor awful. Absolutely freezing in corridors and rooms have only feeble electric heater that's wholly inadequate in winter. Windows leak and are drafty. Shower didn't work properly, had to have Luke warm shower each day. On positive side staff nice. Wouldn't recommend nor return. Externally old building is attached to art decor monstrosity that has failed the test of time. Shame really. Oban itself is lovely
