stayed here about a week ago, it was a last minute decision to go to oban as we decided we were catching a ferry very early the next morning. So we phoned up laterooms and they suggested the regent and said it had good reviews but was £50 for the night plus breakfast. We decided to accept. After a long... more

Thank you for the constructive comments that you left on Trip Advisor. I was concerned to read that you were quoted a rate for the room and breakfast was extra as all our room rates include breakfast. I have looked into the issue with the lift and I can not find any reported breakdowns and we have not called the...

I stayed in this hotel with my boyfriend at the end of June. Firstly, we had a rental car and along the seafront, where the hotel is located, it was difficult the first time around the find it. I called the hotel, no answer the first time. So, I called back - bad move!! The receptionist was rude and unfriendly.... more

stayed for a weekend. the Staff were very pleasant and meals were good. the locality is excellent. On the negative there was very little entertainment, not enough seating in the reception/lounge area, and the lift was very small, which meant a long wait. more

Having read a number of bad reviews for this hotel and having nearly tried to change my holiday with Travel Style because of them I expected nothing when I arrived there and what we experienced was a comfortable hotel, staff very helpful, hotel warm food good and all reasonably priced. This is the reason for me making the effort to... more

I stayed here once as a business traveller (usual place was full)... I would not stay here again. The room was untidy, smoky (I'm not a smoker and it was ment to be a nonsmoking room), in need of attention and the walls seemed paper thin - which also ment I could here every word of the arguement in the... more

The Regent is in a wonderful location right on the esplanade in Oban, and the our room had great views overlooking the water. However the room was small and the beds were hard. The bathroom was so tiny you could wash your hands while using the toilet! The hotel has one elevator and it's shared between the guests and housekeeping.... more

On a positive note the staff were very friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed breakfast,the beds were clean and very comfortable, on a not so positive note our bedroom (£90.00 one night B&B) was a big disappointment and feel very let down as it was a Birthday surprise for my partner. Our room was to the rear of the... more

Horrible hotel, decor straight out the 1970's and doesn't look like the bathrooms have been cleaned since. Staff were rude when we booked in and the breakfast was truly awful slope and completely unedible. Please don't waste your money on this place more

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at the Regent and I will investigate the points you have raised with the relevant Department Heads. Due to the secret nature of Trip advisor I can not tell when you stayed or which room you stayed in but please be assured that I will endeavour to get to resolve...
