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.

Okay for a one night stay but a bit run down

Furniture in room has some significant wear and tear. Shower is tiny (like a small telephone book). Bed was clean and comfortable. Bar only takes card (no cash). Lobby run by same person bartending.
Bed just fits room.
Tiny shower and no place for towels except the sink.
Worn furniture
Wall dirty or marked
