Our group stayed in the hotel for two nights between Sunday 29 April - Tuesday 1 May 2012. We were welcomed by the hotel manager and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast buffet and dinners. Excellent service. Many thanks to Malcolm, Eva, Catherine, Gemma, Sign and Lorne for looking after us so well. More

This is the first time we have stayed this hotel. The hotel is centrally located, with access to trains, ferries and buses. The food in the hotel left us little to complain about. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, especially Malcolm in the dining room. Our room was at the back of the hotel. It was clean and comfortable.... More

The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere in the hotel was very peaceful and pleasant. Meals were of an excellent quality and portion size... More

Stopped in Oban during our Scotland road trip and decieded to take a room here as it had a private garage. The hotel is clean and pleasant but clearly in need of some major updating. The room we had was okay, although a little pricey for a small top floor room with a view of the bins in the back... More
