Hotel close to the harbor with parking. The shared bathroom is very small and the fan was not working very well. Nice breakfast.

Nothing to shout about

We arrived after 9pm and followed the instructions left by the host to locate the key. However the key was nowhere to be found. After contacting the number listed on the instructions, the host turned up after around 15mins. Turned out the key (and our room) was taken by other guest :(. We were then given a replacement room in the next property Cameron Guest house (same owner). By then, it was 10pm, and we were rather tired. My daughter sat on the single bed in the room and to her horror, it gave way. Gosh that gave us a shock. The owner then fixed the slab and promised that they would come and fix it properly the next day. I would have thought that given all these inconvenience, the host would have shown some form of gestures but there were nothing when we return to the room the next day. No apology note, nothing. This is rather disappointing. Also, to note that the wash basin in the room is really really tiny. And i mean tiny. You can hardly wash your face in it. And the shower head is fixed in a position - you can’t rotate it at all.

Comfortable room close to town centre good parking

Stayed for one night during a 10 day tour of Scotland. I left my observations of my stay in a review with a different company but apparently I'm told by the owners that the shared (bathroom) economy double room should have been a 'clue' Can I advise that you check the description of your property on hotels.com with absolutely no clue to shared bathroom or economy. We did use the new wi fi code as provided but to no effect. I did state that my problem was with hotel.com and not the property and I apologise if you have taken it as so.

Stop in Oban

It was nice to discover Oban. The location is good, only a few minutes walk to city centre, very clean and overall comfortable. The decor is a bit dated but it has charm. Unfortunately with C19 restrictions, there was no contact with the team and no breakfast, I missed the human contact but all was very well organised.

Völlig überteuertes B2B

Es handelt sich um eine einfache Pension mit sehr kleinen Zimmern und alten Bädern. Und obwohl das nicht untypisch für GB ist, fand ich den Preis von gut € 100,- ohne Frühstück absolut überteuert!!!!

Guest House au centre de Oban

La Guest House est situé à 5 minutes à pied du centre ville. Bonne situation pour visiter les îles de la côte ouest. Accueil très agréable. Possibilité de réserver petit déjeuner. Literie confortable. Chambre et mobilier mériterait un petit rafraîchissant.
