I reserved a room on-line for two nites. The hotel was fine and the stay was uneventful. On the first morning, I asked the manager whether I should put the bill on my card or pay in cash and was told to wait until departure. The next day, on checkout I asked the desk clerk whether my card had been... more

I had large spacious and clean room on second floor with excellent views across harbour. Ann and her family were always helpful and friendly, and Sandra looked after the rooms and always served breakfast, which is very good, with a smile! It is an elegant, Edwardian building, with no elevator, but that did not bother me! (might bother some). Dining... more

Having looked at TripAdvisors total rating (3,5), I did the mistake of booking this hotel for a one night stay in Oban with my family. This hotel is in urgent need of a total renovation! This hotel has five floors and no elevator, making it unsuitable for any one that is not fit to carry their own luggage up many... more

Just returned from one of many stays at the Palace Hotel. We haven't been there for two years but Ann and her staff made us feel like old friends. Our room had recently been refurbished and was really sparkling and fresh. The views are exceptional and the breakfasts absolutely brilliant, certainly enough to set you up for the day!!! more

It's aged but comforatable and if you love pink (carpet, chairs, duvet, wallpaper, curtains, towells) you'd be in 7th heaven. For £60 it was ok but the breakfast was terrible. The room was comfortable and spacious enough as we were travelling with a baby travel cot. The view over the harbour is fabulous Wouldn't hurry back but if you can't... more

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I cannot begin to think how the owners can justify the rates they charge. The double room was tiny and packed with furniture so that you couldn't move around.The furniture itself had seen considerably better days. The ceiling and one wall showed very evident signs of water penetration.The bed linen... more

The Palace Hotel is a small family business established aproximately 100 years ago with the same owners for the past 29 years. The vast majority of our customers are repeat customers or have come to stay with us through recommendation. As this is our family home we try to make it more friendly and less formal than a standard hotel...

This hotel is in a fantastic location. We had a front room with views over the bay which were excellent, although there was no car park (as hotel located on main st) we managed to park the car a short walk away. As the hotel was on the main street we could walk to the restaurants and bars near by.... more

I stayed on the top floor, which if you can cope with the stairs, provides fantastic views across the harbour. The bed was very comfortable with electric blanket, good heating in room and it felt cosy. Space to unwind on the 2 armchairs as well. This friendly town centre hotel provides excellent value for money and the breakfast overlooking the... more
