Central location
Dated property. Shower drain was blocked, simple tho gs like no white sugar in a decent courtesy tray. TV Chanel selection had no standard Chanel’s
Breakfast
The shower was tight to get in and out of and turning on and of shower was hard
Good location
Room was tiny. Property very dated.
Great location some nice retro detailing inside hotel , staff polite and informative
We’d paid in full with a upgrade offered , the room was nice enough but don’t think we got the upgrade as it was a basic room, no slippers as promised , no coffee machine unless they were referring to the kettle and small room at top of the hotel , reception working solo so didn’t answer phone when we called to ask about not being able to connect to wifi so hubby went down to speak to reception.. we got ready for dinner in hotel we Were told opened at 6 and menu showed good vegan options across all courses and an extensive choice of foods , when we got downstairs the girl on duty in restaurant said it’s not open until 6.30 so we waited half hour only to find out no vegan options as it was a buffet service (Saturday evening) and limited choices, one of the main reasons we booked was the food ! Lastly even although we’d paid in full beforehand we had to give a credit card and sign agreement incase of any damages to room during our Stay, I feel this should be mentioned during the booking process .
The location was wonderful.
There are many things I didn’t like hotel. Most importantly, there is very limited elevator service. There’s a flight of about 39 stairs to reach the reception desk k. The elevator from reception to our room was very small and in huge demand due to the large tour groups. In the room, the bathroom was incredibly small, with barely room to stand between the toilet and sink. The rug was worn and curling on a couple of edges. Some tiles on what seemed like new flooring were loose.
Room nice beds comfy view nice
Pillows hard Staff unfriendly
Inte så bra
Luktade mögel på hotellet
Lecker Frühstück mit tollem Blick auf das Wasser
Sauberkeit in den Fluren & Treppen; Gemeinschaftsbereichen
Great location, spacious and beautiful apartment.
It was all great for us.
Comfortable enough hotel in a very central location close to the town centre. Good value for money and more than satisfactory for an overnight stay.
As with most Muthu Hotels, the decor is a little dated. But this is reflected in the price paid.
View was Fantastic
The outside of the property was a bit shabby and dirty looking - steps area etc Glass of wine was pretty expensive
Bedrooms were spotless, spacious and very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Front and reception a bit tired and dated. Limited parking, steps at front not disabled friendly. Outside hotel very slippery when wet.
Shower, location
Fantastic location outstanding view from hotel room .Spotlessly clean wonderful friendly helpful staff .,Will definitely be back.
Facade needs a face lift
The view from my window
The shower was a bit small
Location to Town Interior of hotel Friendly staff Cleanliness of room
Exterior does not do the hotel justice it looks run down.
Location very clean friendly staff Good selection for pubs restaurant around
Everything fine
La posizione, la colazione e la cena
Un po fatiscente all’esterno e di sabato notte un po rumorosa
Comfortable, clean, good breakfast, close to shops
Good location
Extremely uncomfortable bed
Location was great
Bit dated but was ok
We were in the marina suite, it was outstanding. It was so large and luxurious with an outstanding view. It well and truly exceeded expectations. Great venue that we will definitely recommend.
There was nothing to dislike.
Staff were very pleasant and obliging bed was very comfortable liked the style of decor good location for shops and bars hotel was nice and clean plenty towels in bathroom nice warm shower suitable price for weekend stay .
Hotel looked tired from the outside possibly a protected building judging by the style maybe not allowed to change too much outside limited parking due to position of hotel oban in general lacks parking none of this would put me off staying again .
the breakfast was great for the price
it really needs a refresh of decor
Checking in at reception was easy. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming.
Clean rooms
Outside looks terrible
Sehr bemühte Dame an der Rezeption
Das Frühstück war lieblos und sehr einfach Der Boden im Frühstücksraum war klebrig und es roch unangenehm Der Teppich im Zimmer war schmutzig und sehr abgewohnt Das ganze Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und renovierungsbedürftig
NO, NO, NO !!! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING For a company that markets themselves to provide luxury hotel accommodations, let me just say they must be delusional. Sadly, if you read the reviews here and the sister properties in Oban, it appears to be a them. When mgmt does respond, it is nothing but lip service. First, we booked a suite at $400 night. I would love to know how they define suites because the room had NO AC, and they offered a fan. The rug was matted and full of dirt. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. *Please see pictures. The entrance into the hotel had trash in the parking lot, the drain had plants growing out of it. The lobby was hot and smelled. The carpets in the halls were stained and unswept my entire stay. The shower drains were very slow to drain so I had to turn the water off and on to prevent it from flooding. A problem previous guest had and it obviously wasn't resolved. I encourage you to look at the photos I took of the way the make repairs to the hotel. In my opinion, this hotel needs a multi million dollar repair by a reputable construction company and a interior designer who can actually decorate. If you stay at this or the sister property, don't expect luxury or even mediocre accommodations.
Right in front of the harbour clean and comfy
Wonderful room and great walk-in shower! Staff very nice and helpful. Position at 2min from ferries and buses, directly on the sea!! Clean, big and quiet
My room had a good view
Low standard for upkeep; leak in hall with buckets catching the water, mold on carpet in hall, trim work shotty, touch up paint not matching. Charge way too much money for the old, run down facility.
Third visit everything we requested .eg the location was made available upon arrival
Nothing really and any issues promptly dealt by staff comforting to know
l'emplacement de l'hôtel,La vue de la chambre et du restaurant sur le port, le petit déjeuner, le personnel agréable et efficace, la propreté
difficulté de communication en français, petitesse de la chambre, et de la salle de bain
Grande chambre. Propre.
Deux lits pour en faire un qui n'était pas au même niveau. Pas de place sur le parking, obligé de se garer ailleurs et de payer le parking
Location was great
Nothing
The location was good
The lack of parking. Needs to be made clearer there is none. Not even disabled
la ubicación es muy bonita detalles cuidados en la habitación baño renovado
el desayuno era muy pobre para la categoría del sitio y el precio no tenían cafetera
The room was spacious and most of all clean but didn’t have a great view as it overlooked the bins at the back of the hotel.
The view overlooking the bins.
Posizione
Camera buia con vista sul retro con deposito spazzatura e sul vicino palazzo di fronte
We only stayed 1 night.
Room too small Decor a bit tired Outside of building looked run down
Great location! We were given new updated bathroom so all good!😌
Outdated from outside
L'emplacement proche du port
Chambre un peu vieillotte
Wonderful bay view with comfortable beds, good showers, good bar for coffee, tea and cocktails.
Location was great easy to get to room was clean and comfortable
Television did not work and no fridge bar and restaurant closed early each night 10pm
The position and within walking distance of railway station. Room was clean, big bed, nice shower and friendly staff. Inside the building was in total contact to first impressions from the outside!
The first appearance, the outside of the building could do with upgrading and painting. No seat in room to relax in the room.
Bathrooms fully renovated. Beds comfortable and breakfast warm and filling.
Location was fantastic.
Smelled of cigarette smoke and appeared dated.
View from the window was good and our key priority, staff were generally friendly, entrance hall was clean and bright.
I had particularly emailed to ask if the bed was made up of two singles or a full double after seeing a previous review post. They said it was a full double. It wasn't. Comfortable and fine for sleeping separately, but not if you want to actually sleep side by side across the middle as there is a ridge....so not the most comfortable for our wedding anniversary stay
Couldn’t open hotel door without hitting bed. Room was dirty and shower leaked water all over floor
It was dirty and had mildew in shower
Ubicación genial.
Por decir algo: aunque el desayuno estaba bien, fue igual los dos días; podría haber algún pequeño cambio .
Liked everything and the staff were all great.
It was clean and tidy
Not enough parking space
Location!
The rooms are very small and the hotel in general needs upgraded & a refresh on the outside. No air conditioning either.
Rooms were refurbished and clean staff helpful, great location next to pier. Good value for money - cheaper than the Premier Inn. We didn't try the restaurant, but wished we had because nearby cafés etc were not great TBH
Don't be put off by the exterior appearance - it looks tired and in need of a makeover
El baño pequeñisimo, ducha diminuta y solo con duchon sin cebolla pequeña.
Great location, food lovely, rooms very clean
Location was very good; outside of hotel a bit dated - particulalry at the back. By far the best bit was the exceptional receptionist who moved me from an airless room into one with a functioning window. No questions, no bother - just polite, efficient and helpful.
The back of the hotel needs a lot of work to smarten it up.
Central location
No parking, no chair in bedroom, lift didn’t always work
awful experience, hotel not clean, asked for a fan for room and the dust blowing about the room was disgusting, food cleanliness is an issue, complained and told couldn't move rooms as in a family room, then on leaving hotel told get refund, still not received and emailed and contacted company numerous times, no refund and manager rude
Excellent location
Seems to lack a large number of parking spaces
The location of the hotel was superb for exploring Obam. The Art Deco style inside the hotel
Room 221 , outside in the alley was the constant hum of a extractor throughout the night and also there must have been a broken pipe externally where the constant noise of what sounded like a waterfall went on non stop. Couldn't say wether this was attached to the hotel or the building opposite, either way it made for lack of sleep throughout the night .
Clean room comfy bed. Ice bathroom
WiFi didn’t work for TV it kept buffering only one bedside cabinet. Outside at entrance wooden decking tiles very slippy and dangerous on stairs and entrance , it was well signed being slippery but an accident waiting to happen more so if you are carrying luggage.
Breakfast was excellent, staff were amazing
I think the outside of the hotel could do with a paint. Parking was terrible until you knew where the long stay car park is
Ras
nice room great breakfast very clean would go back
Location
The frontage is very off putting and the parking VERY limited. The parking opposite on the pier is by meter. Parking in Oban is very difficult with no free carparks. When we arrived at the property I was disappointed by the outside, however the room and corridor where we were housed had been refurbished.
La posizione e il personale. Nella nostra camera è saltata la corrente e ci hanno cambiato la camera con due singole.
L'hotel sembra un pò datato (da fuori non invoglia ad entrare). La colazione niente di che non è possibile avere il cappuccino.
The room was absolutely stunning, Very clean, and high-end. Complementary mini bar drinks and snacks was also a pleasant surprise.
The exterior of the building is showing its age and may under-sell the quality within. Further, some substantial structural repairs will be needed to keep this beautiful historic building alive and in use for the future.
It was clean and the staff were very welcoming.
There was no air conditioning. There is very limited parking available.
Great location, comfortable beds, excellent breakfast.
Accessibility was tricky with steps up to main entrance, but lift inside was a bonus.
Colazione abbondante e molto buona. Arredamento e bagni moderni ed eleganti. Pulizia perfetta e lo staff professionale.
Le stanze non erano particolarmente spaziose.
Clean room. Buffet breakfast.
To expensive
Nothing
Bathroom facilities. Couldn’t turn on the shower. The wash basin tap was broken and spewed out water all over you when you turned it on.
Cooperative an friendly staff; great location
Small room. Bad breakfast. Parking not as advertised.
First time staying in this hotel and first impressions were really good when walking in, lovely reception area and also had a lift which was brilliant.
Only thing I didn’t like was the outside area when you walked in and left, there are seats there and found the smell of cigarette smoke unpleasant.
Handy location
Awful outside appearance,looks rundown , a load of slippery steps up to front door , noisy as building has old steel single glazed windows
The outside of this hotel is shabby but it's better inside. The room was clean, except above the wardrobe, the en suite has been upgraded and is fine. The hotel is central although there is virtually no parking. Steps leading up to hotel so no good for disabled. The room was not big but acceptable for the price we paid. Please get rid of the shabby rug in the room which looks unclean. We did not eat in the hotel as he seemed unsure about gf. We did love Oban.
Very helpful and friendly staff. My wife is a wheelchair user and the receptionist helped us to access the hotel via the service entrance. The lift from the basement level avoids the stairs at front of the hotel. We had dinner in the Saltburn restaurant and the food was very good, as was the breakfast. The view from the hotel over the harbour is great.
Prices for wine from bar was very expensive but beer (bottled and draught) was reasonably priced. Some paint finishes in room and shower room were a bit rough but everywhere was clean.
Reasonably priced accommodation. Cleaned to a satisfactory level for me. Friendly staff.
The bed was huge! Gorgeous sea view from the room, which was very clean.
The front of the building needs a refresh. My heart sank when I saw it! Thankfully, the quality of the room was much better than the outside suggested, but first impressions count!
Der Meerblick Die Lage Zimmer sauber Personal sehr freundlich
Die Außenansicht
Outside area, staff were pleasant, close to town centre
Was told £15 each for breakfast which we paid, entered the lift to see a sign that says resident's get 10% off. We didn't receive this.
The room was modern and clean ,beds were very comfortable as were pillows We had the petite twin but there was ample space
Lack of parking
Tolle Lage
Kein Kühlschrank
The staff were exceptionally nice , professional , hardworking and helpful.The location is great fur access anywhere , x̌ The view from lobby , resturaunt and sea facing rooms is incredibly beautiful. Bathrooms really clean Breakfast was very good
This Hotel is a jaded building some of the things in the hotel are very old and dont work first time
De ligging! En het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Verouderd! Geen airco, of ramen die open konden! Gebouw heeft echt groot onderhoud nodig!
Situation centre-ville
Place de parking extrêmement limitée débrouillez-vous. Même s'il était prévu de voir un parking. Et pour ceux qui connaissent. Les parkings sont tous payants.
Location was great
Too much noise from surrounding rooms
Wunderschönes Zimmer, außen etwas abgerockt.
Nur die Außenfasade.
I travelled with my family, and the size of the family room was well beyond my expectations! The staff were also super friendly and helpful throughout our stay
n/a
Friendly staff and location
Parking took a while to find.
Seafront location, close to the town centre, bars and restaurants.
Limited parking. There is a public carpark about 5 minutes walk away that is about £5 overnight.
Decor very nice. Staff friendly and prompt in fixing any issues.
The location was fantastic! The view from the room was amazing also
It would be good to offer fans from reception. We slept with the window open to keep the room cool (summer) but both nights got woken by people heading from home a night out
Location and facilities and comfort
N/A Everything was perfect
Location
Staff not interested in negotiating a good deal. Would rather have an empty room than lower price to compete with other hotels When checking in reception staff answered phone and kept me waiting. I should have taken priority over an incoming phone call
Location was very handy to everything. View was great, overlooking the boats & sunsets.
Exterior leaves a lot to be desired, but as the saying go: don't judge it from the exterior. The reception area was not expected, tidy & comfortable. One lift & a very wide staircase if you didn't want to use the lift. We were upgraded to a room with a view. Floor was very slippery but it was better than expected. Bathroom was tiny but tidy. Some things could do with fixing. Tap loose as was the toilet roll holder. Otherwise shower was nice. Would we stay again? Yes.
It is well decorated
The entrance needs upgrading. The rooms are small
.
.
Adequate food but no seafood offered for our group meals. One room had sewage backed up into the shower and was not corrected nor even apologized for.
