Very comfy bed in middle of oban for the night. The bar was lively , good music and beer. Feeling its age a little round the edges but the staff are excellent.
Stayed here a few times and will again, staff are great and the room is perfect for my needs
Its always clean, always warm and always very welcoming.
Perfect location next to the train station, ferry terminal and centre of town for exploring
I will be back

Comfortable, quiet and with a decent shower. Very basic accommodation but perfectly serviceable - cannot argue with the price during peak tourist season!!
The staff are very friendly and welcoming the room was basic but clean and had everything we needed we had room 1 and the beds were small but very comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a cheap no frills stay in Oban,also great location for ferry and train station.
The hotel's location is excellent, as it's close to both the ferry terminal and the bus station.
My room (single room) was clean and quiet.
When you consider the price compared to the average price of hotel rooms in Oban, you really get a lot for your money.
Of course, you can't expect top-notch facilities at this price.
Thank you for the pleasant stay!
Lovely hotel for price - being on the top floor with luggage was not so much fun- amazing staff, large room and bathroom, walking distance to main parts of Oban. Bathroom had a bit of mold would be only real issie
We were a little put off by the low reviews of this place, but it fit our needs absolutely perfectly. We are study abroad students on a relatively tight budget, so finding a budget hotel walkable to all the main attractions in Oban was key. I wouldn’t say it was luxurious, as some of the facilities were a bit subpar, but it absolutely did the trick for our stay. If you’re planning a trip to Oban, especially if you’ll be making use of the ferry or the train, this is an excellent, safe, relatively clean, and walkable budget hotel. Don’t roll up expecting the Ritz, but it will easily do the trick for almost anyone staying in Oban.
