After booking this hotel online, i was dubious about staying here after reading previous reviews. However we were treated brilliantly and looked after so well. Upon arrival we were given a fas and informative check-in, even asked if we would like a newspaper delivered each morning, a very small nice touch. The evening meals were good wholesome cuisine, food that... more

After a long drive to Oban we were told by an uninterested reception that our group booking of three rooms was 'missing' despite us having booked months in advance and having written confirmation on us. Our 2 night stay was reduced to one thankfully. They did however have room for 2 large coach parties that weekend. Independent travelers may wish... more

Stayed here twice..last time terrible as room that was old, small, and very, very noisy! Walls had holes in them and the bed spread was just gross with "stains" dirty room overall and the front desk could care less. Food ok and couple of the staff were great. Poorly ran overall and over prices. as we could have paid much... more

I stayed in a twin room with a colleague from another part of the country, but there was only 1 key available for the room. As she had arrived first and had gone out with the only key, I had to have the room opened for me by the porter, who did not even offer to carry any bags for... more

The Royal Hotel is in a very central location. Right in the heart of Oban. It is a short, flat walk to most attractions. I did not here, but those that did reported that it was above average. When I arrived I was greeted by a very pleasent lady, who was cheery, and helpful. Sadly this is the only staff... more

We stayed at the Royal for a function. At best the check in was unfriendly. Our room was big and had a good view. The shower screen was covered in slime and mould that must have been there for some time. The Dado rail was covered with dust and there were some rather dubious stains on the bedcovers. To be... more

I stayed here with a pal for a short break in May 2008. We had never been to Oban before and chose the Royal because we got a good price online and there was a car park. The hotel was great. We arrived late on our first evening and were checked in promptly and the receptionist was really pleasant told... more

Having stayed at the Royal on numerous occasions over the last 3 years this was the most satisfying, relaxing stay. We had booked 3 nights DB&B, and every meal was a delight and the stay great value for money. (even when the new start waiter took my breakfast away before I had started !!) This hotel is part of a... more
