stayed in the lancaster at easter weekend, found the location great , the staff friendly and helpful, the food filling and good. great views over the water, and no hair in the soap, as they use liquid soap. the price is good and would recomend this hotel, and will be back soon more

Okay the place is in need of a wee bit of renovation but the staff are nice and friendly, the pool and leisure facilities are great, location is exceptional and at the end of the day what do you expect for your money - if you want to pay £300 a night for a family then I'm sure you could... more

We decided to take my wife's father and sister from Canada to Oban for a night and chose the Lancaster for its position in Oban and the leisure facilities, which we did not use in the end due to the shapiness of the hotel. It was dreadful and a terrible advert for Scottish accomodation. Bedrooms were small, very dated, had... more

The Lancaster was good value for money - we paid just under £300.00 for a twin bedded room with a superb sea view for 4 nights. Tea making facilities, two comfy chairs & watching the ferries & other boats in the harbour was ideal when the weather was not so good. The indoor swimming pool & sauna were just what... more

Having the leisure facilities was a great plus point. The kids could play in the pool whilst I sat in the jacuzzi. Pool was opened until 8.00pm so you could go and relax if you have been walking all day. Hotel is maybe a bit old fashioned but it was fine. Staff were helpful. A lot of choices for breakfast.... more

Spent a long weekend in Oban, and stayed at the Lancaster as it was reasonably priced and advertised leisure facilities, and with the unpredicatable weather in Scotland, thought that would be a good idea! Had a lovely room to the front with excellent sea views. Staff were friendly, the room clean and great breakfasts each morning - again with great... more

How they can justify the prices they charge is beyond me. I am in Oban through work on a regular basis and will not be staying in this place ever again. There was hairy soap in the bathroom, creepy stains on the bedding - i need not go on. I realise if you want cheap accommodation you can't expect the... more

We planned a 3 day break away as heard Oban was lovely. We loved Oban and the people were friendly but the hotel was very disappointing. It smelt stale and of cigarette smoke. The decor was in need of repair and i found the leaflet very misleading as the hotel was described as modern. Our room had a cracked sink... more

There was a stale smell throughout the hotel. Our cental heating radiator didn't work in our room so we had a 1960's relic of a plug-in radiator to heat the room (this is February in Scotland!) TV did not work, beds were small and the plastic sheeting rustled throughout the night. The shower was a drip and impossible to use.... more
