Staff are fabulous but hotel could be better. TV in room did not work for the duration of our stay. Paid extra for a bay view room but the room was tiny. Breakfast was great. Restaurant food good too, if a little pricey.

Lace panties on the radiator and lumpy bed. We've stayed at this hotel before and it's a great location. Disappointed that the advertised Hot Tub was £50 per couple! That's not how it used to be. Then we found the knickers in the radiator. Clean presumably and left to dry? Who knows. Sadly to top it all was that the bed was lumpy! All in all there are good things about this hotel. Great view, staff were friendly but for the price it's not hitting the mark.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, lots of conversation and humour. The food was good, we tried a few different options. The avocado and poached egg on sourdough was delicious and the pastries were fresh and so good. We had a classic double room on the ground floor. Plenty of space for the 2 of us, the shower was fab and toiletries were very refreshing. We had the best 2 nights sleep. The bed was huge and very comfy. The tea, coffee, hot chocolate and goodies were a perfect treat with 2 days of travelling and exploring. What a view while we enjoyed our drinks from the bar. Oban was such a lovely place and we wouldn't hesitate to book here again on return.

Property fine, staff generally good. Expensive. Room had marks all over floor ( needs vax) parking facilities poor. £4.50 for 1/2 cup of coffee is not good value. Rooms are too full of chairs etc , not required. Obviously throw to back of hotel to make room for Americans so they spend more .

The lift was not functioning but stay did bring bags to the room. A challenge with older hotel infrastructure is that many many step are required to get to a room. No lift meant 40 steps up and 40 steps down.
