Room was perfect and very clean. Great location. Check-out time of 11am was great, however this was ruined by the housekeeping team who were chatting very loudly from 9am. I understand they have to do their job, but I don't think it is necessarily to be shouting and laughing between rooms, when they are aware guests are still trying to sleep? Anyway, overall I gave 4 stars, would have 5.

The lobby and bar area was clean and nicely decorated and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only disappointing part of our stay was the room. We reserved a kind room and the bed was a queen. The rooms was very small which is not uncommon for the region but

Comfortable Hotel Near Oban Harbor

The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, and the towels were nice and fluffy. It was close to the harbor and restaurants. There were two coffee makers (Nespresso and Nescafé), bottled water, and chocolates in the room. We did not choose the breakfast because we prefer going to restaurants. Overall, this was the nicest 3-star hotel of our two-week stay in Scotland. Highly recommend if you are in Oban.

This is one of the only places in downtown Oban that had off-site parking which was excellent! Be sure to get a cottage room out back. There's only two. They are fantastic.
