Guest reviews
Very good
Liked: It was in good location, easy access to the main places, Oban is nice. And I had a very good breakfast with a beautiful view, the room was very comfortable and my key was inside of a good envelope beautifully written. It is the first time I had this..I could leave my bags before the check in time so I could walk a bit and exploring more Oban.
Disliked: The lady (I think is the owner or Manager) when I arrived after my walk I went to the Bar and I asked her where was the breakfast place. She replied "in the morning you will see". Why couldn't just say "is there"? So I wouldn't bother. The moment I told her I wanted a Pimm's or one simple drink because I was happy and I wanted in that moment one simple drink, she just said "go for your walk and when you come back I will give you the drink". Like if I was a child or I could only have a drink when she wanted. I felt occured and I just left the place sad and I wanted to go for my walk. If I wanted why she refused? Rude. And the day I left there were nobody to say anything or goodbye. She just said to leave the keys in the same place I found. Really strange. No nice welcoming neither if I enjoyed and I didn't have the right to enjoy a bit of time to seat comfortable to have a drink. The next say I figured out where was the breakfast and I just eat. Apart of that, I wanted to take a shower and I couldn't because the shower plaque was broken and nobody told me anything and because I had this episode I just wanted to leave.
Better to avoid
Liked: Wonderfull experience and special mention to the granolas and fresh fruits at breakfast!
Liked: Everything
Disliked: No cooked breakfast
All pretty good
Liked: Clean and comfortable. Location convenient to train and ferry. Mattress pretty stiff. We were out for early ferry, so not sure about breakfast.
Liked: The room was nice and tidy. Bathroom fully functional. Hotel staff friendly.
