A lovely stay again. Hotel is clean, modern & in a great location. Close to local bars & restaurants.
Great breakfast choice & friendly staff.
Wouldn't hesitate to return
Breakfast had a lot of options, fresh buffett food or you could order breakfast. We had the buffet and it was quick and easy as we were on a tour. Easily walkable to all the shops and food. Perfect for the one night sleep. Staff were really nice and helpful. Room is small though.
They accommodated our group of four with one double bed and two single beds in the same room to avoid extra costs. I cannot say enough about the breakfast, which cost only 10 SBP per person. One hot menu choice and unlimited continental and drink choices included. I have found nowhere else that does that, at least on our Scotland trip. If your travels take you anywhere near Oban, book this hotel!
Very central location, in a small and snug building. Room was very clean, and had cards telling us who had cleaned our room which was a lovely personal touch. The room was very modern too. Staff were very helpful and accommodating, and very friendly. The bathroom shower had a fault but it wasn’t significant.
Great price given the busy tourist season, smaller yet cosy spaces. 8/10.
