I stayed at the palace hotel with my wife, we came up for a short break and ended up spending a lot of it in the hotel, the views were breathtaking during the mornings and the evenings and the room was excellent for what we needed and at a very good price. Will definitely be coming back here. Staff were... More

Room quite dirty, all woodwork very dusty, requires a good clean. Bathroom looked like it hadnt had a good clean in a... More

This hotel is in an ideal location, very close to both the train station and ferry terminal. It is also very convenient for shops and restaurants. There are a number of stairs to go up to the rooms and there is no lift. However our bags were carried up for us when we arrived. The dining room also has excellent... More

Stayed in #12 in this hotel and it was a hike up the 4 flights of stairs to get there! There is a lovely view out the window but the windows were thin and I could hear the bar traffic having loud arguments outside. We didn't eat here so can't review the food but the beds were comfortable enough and... More

I would not normally choose to spend a night in Oban, let’s get that out there at the start. However, sometimes needs must. When I need to stay there, value for money is going to be top of the priority list. So when I got a room here through Laterooms for £20 my expectations for comfort were very low. Consequently...

Our family stayed at this hotel for a few nights and we could not have picked a better hotel with a better location! The rooms at the front have an amazing view, however we choose to stay in one of the quieter back rooms with the little one. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very accommodating. I would definitely... More

This hotel is in a great location. Never more than 10 minutes to any bar or restaurant. There is a very nice view to the sea. The service was great. Very kindly staff. There is a very nice bar just next door.
