Nous avions une grande chambre avec vue sur le Loch, très calme. Le parking gratuit est un plus pour l’établissement.
Hôtel vieillissant qui mériterait un rafraîchissement. Le petit déjeuner est médiocre avec beaucoup de produits industriels et on regrette l’absence de plat chaud salé (omelette, bacon …)
Unser auf dem Hotelparkplatz abgestellter PKW wurde nachts beschädigt, was wir morgens nach dem Auschecken bemerkten. Es gab eine Video-Überwachung. Die Managerin (so bezeichnete die Dame sich selbst) riet davon ab die Polizei einzuschalten, die würde sich nicht um Fahrerfluchten kümmern (was sich im Nachhinein als falsch herausstellte, zumal es einen konkreten Verdacht gab). Sie versprach die Videoaufnahmen der Nacht zu kontrollieren und uns zu informieren. Leider hat sie sich, auch auf eine schriftliche Nachfrage hin, überhaupt nicht mehr gemeldet. Ausländische Gäste, die sich mit den Gegebenheiten im UK nicht so auskennen, derart hängen zu lassen, ist ein absolutes No-Go! Auf die Art war es eine teure Nacht für uns. Überhaupt wirkte das ganze Haus so, als würde es von bemühten Amateuren und nicht von Profis geführt. Das Haus sollte man mit großem Bogen umfahren.
Staff friendly, nice view, room was clean. Close to Oban for the ferry the next day
Nothing really, breakfast could be a bit better like just keep attentive to replenishing
Really charming, traditional and cozy hotel. Staff very kind and helpful. Room large very comfy with great views. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the meal was delicious
The breakfast was only average, which after such a nice dinner I was a bit surprised by. It was acceptable just nothing more
Lovely location, very comfortable and welcoming. Nice breakfast.
Shower went hot and cold
Location of hotel was good.
Room 6 The room was not exactly quiet, as the party walls in the room are pretty thin and the ‘neighbours’ we had were vocally loud all night and had their TV on very loud. There was a constant tapping throughout the night. It wasn’t the best or relaxing sleep for had. The toilet seat was loose and needs tightening up as it was slipping and sliding when you sat on it. The shower pressure was poor and this was despite having a shower at a non busy time when most would have one. It would be very hot or very cold throughout showering. The sink is cracked and the whole room dated. The carpet in the stairway is in need of replacing as it is badly worn. This is a three star hotel but from our experience in our room, it would only just make that and that was due to the friendly staff.

Struttura tipica e molto confortevole. Camere bellissime e complete di ogni comfort. Anche il pub e la sala da pranzo sono molto belle. Quando siamo arrivati noi avevamo prenotato la cena ma il cuoco era malato, ci hanno mandato nel ristorante dell’altro hotel di loro proprietà e ci hanno offerto un giro di bevande. Molto gradito!
Très joli emplacement. Accueil chaleureux. Au calme . Le restaurant propose de bons repas.
Le canapé-lit un peu juste pour un adulte de grande corpulence
Mouldy bread was unacceptable and put us right off. Asked to speak to the manager but she wasn't there until 12pm!
TV didn't work until we found out the extension lead it was plugged into had a 10 amp fuse in it. Swapped the fuse from the kettle to get it working!
Really homely and comfy. Great staff and service. Location is stunning and not far from Oban with good bus service.
No complaints at all.
The location with the price was great. Staff were brilliant aswell.
I didnt like the fact that I couldn't afford to buy the place.
Great tranquil location. Stunning views. Comfortable room.
Shabby. Poorly sign posted. Breakfast worth avoiding.
Very cheerful and friendly staff
Die Lage in der Nähe zur Connel Bridge, zum Strand in wenigen Metern, zu Oban in 15 Minuten war super. Aussicht von Terasse, Frühstücksraum und unserem Zimmer war traumhaft
Tische im Restaurant und Frühstücksraum fühlen sich klebrig an. Sind nicht schmutzig sondern Problem mit Beschichtung und Reinigungsmittel oder so. Das könnte verbessert werden.
Soggiorno davvero splendido al Lochnell Arms Hotel. La posizione è il vero punto di forza: affacciato direttamente sul Loch Etive, con una vista magnifica sulle Falls of Lora e sul Connel Bridge, soprattutto al tramonto. Svegliarsi la mattina con quel panorama vale da solo il viaggio. L'accoglienza è stata calorosa e genuina, esattamente l'ospitalità scozzese che si spera di trovare. Il personale è gentile, attento e sempre disponibile a dare consigli sulla zona. La camera era pulita, confortevole e ben tenuta, e la colazione scozzese completa è un ottimo modo per iniziare la giornata.

Había aparcamiento
Es muy viejo, instalaciones muy antiguas había olor a polvo por la moqueta, y telarañas en la habitación.
Molto carino, personale giovane e gentile. Bella la camera , pulito e accogliente. Buona la colazione
Located near the water. Young lady who checked us in then took our food order cleaned tables served all other guest job of 3 all with a lovely smile
Worn star carpet (not a good look) room 10 bed have a king size bed but a double mattress which was so soft and worn very uncomfortable. No mattress protector. Squeaky floorboards. Breakfast very poor. Pot of tea cold.
Cama cómoda.Desde el restaurante hay unas vistas bonitas a un lago.Se come bien
La ducha es muy estrecha para una única persona.Desayuno muy normalito y reponen con poca frecuencia,
Staff on arival and dinner at night were very good and attentive to our needs, a very warm welcome and shown round the hotel and the room had a great view of the Loch and bridge.
It said brekfast was included but it was only a continental breakfast when we had expected the full Scottish breakfast, we were offered to go to another hotel across the bridge for a cooked breakfast but that was not possible for us and the guy setting up the continental breakfast ws not very helpfull or happy to be there , not a great selection of breakfst goods when we arrived and had to ask fo more pastries, plates etc.
Sehr nettes Personal
War leider nicht so sauber, wie erwartet. Frühstück war auch dürftig
De kamer was super met terras en fantastisch zicht op de Loch
De ontbijttafel kleefden en een eitje kon er niet gekookt of gebakken worden . Te weinig ontbijtkoeken , je moest er vlug bijzijn !!!kamer zeer
Great location
A bit dated and lack of available staff in morning.
Location, value for money and good facilities
No lift, all rooms were upstairs.
Good location Clean Friendly staff Lovely evening meal
Extremely over priced Very poor breakfast Cracked bathroom sink Hotel very worn
Bella la vista. La camera era grande e anche il bagno. Il personale estremamente gentile e disponibile. La zona è silenziosa e i letti molto comodi.
Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato tutte le finestre aperte perciò la camera era fredda. Mancava il bagnoschiuma che era finito. La colazione poteva essere un po' più rifornita.
Atención exquisita por Beth, buen desayuno a pesar de necesitar productos sin gluten. Ubicación en un lugar muy bonito y establecimiento muy acojedor y familiar

Staff molto gentile e disponibile. Struttura tranquilla con un ottimo ristorante interno.
Non è dotata di ascensore e inoltre è presente ovunque la moquette il che rende davvero complesso portare su i bagli per le scale. Pulizia discreta della stanza. La doccia inoltre è davvero molto piccola.
Localisation parfaite, un accueil très pro et agréable. Tailledelachambre. .
La literie : une catastrophe. La salle de bain très bien mais la cabine de douche faisait 70 par 70 alors que la salle de bain aurait permis beaucoup plus grand. Petit déjeuner continental très moyen.
Vista dalla camera e dalle sale ristorante e colazione; posizione della struttura.
Il cattivo odore della stanza, la colazione senza alcun cibo caldo, materasso matrimoniale vecchio con le molle rovinate.
Atmosphere, details, great staff, well maintained
La struttura gode di una vista impagabile. Ottima la stanza con il balconcino.
Great staff and value for money

Un hotel? No, una bettola. La foto è fuorviante il prato è sul retro e non è neanche nell'hotel. Cosa dire di più, è una struttura carissima, nella stanza entrava odore di cucina, la stanza fa pietà, antiquata e poco accogliente il bagno raggiunge la decenza. Colazione? Delle brioches e dei cornetti scaldati e qualche yogurt confezionato, dei cereali, latte , thè, caffè. I tavoli della sala colazione erano appiccicosi. Insomma, da evitare. Ma dico io, booking come fa a proporre una struttura del genere ad un prezzo così alto??
Non c'è una cosa decente.
Le personnel est très accueillant et extrêmement gentil. La vue sur le lac est magnifique pendant le repas et le petit déjeuner. Il y a également un bar attenant à l'hôtel. Dans notre chambre, le lit simple était confortable mais pas le lit double. Même s'il est situé à côté d'un aérodrome, nous n'avons pas été dérangé par les avions et il n'y en avait pas beaucoup. Nous avons passé un très bon moment à cet hôtel.
Charmant & Sympathique
Tout était bien
Location
Breakfast. Only offer a continental which in itself was poor. If you wanted a full scotish you would have to drive approx 1 mile and pay an extra. room facility. Shower head would not stay up, kept sliding down, bin in shower had not been emptied and room itself still had rubbish from previous occupancy
Hotl molto gradevole. Ho apprezzato l'arredamento della stanza tipico scozzese e la grandezza della stanza stessa. Letti comodi e bagno enorme
Nulla
L emplacement L accueil, le personnel
Bon accueil, bon restaurant avec vue sur le lac. Chambre spacieuse
Petit déjeuner moyen, pas de petit dej écossais dans l hôtel et surtout si vous arrivez trop tard il n’y a plus grand chose….
L'emplacement de l'hôtel avec une vue superbe vue sur le lac
Le petit déjeuner n'est pas top. La salade de fruits, entre autre, n'était pas fraîche. Dommage !
Lovely place to stay, nice quiet setting and not far from oban. Staff are all lovely. Stayed here a couple times now and just love it, the balcony room is amazing, summer or winter 😍
die Lage kurz vor Oban und wer möchte, kann von dort auch einige Inseln wie z.B. Mull erreichen. Das Abendessen im Restaurant war sehr gut.
das Frühstück war kontinental, also der Wunsch auf etwas Ei/Rührei o.ä. war nicht möglich. Ein Teil der Terrassenmöbel war aufgrund der Beschädigungen nicht nutzbar
Parking was available and lots of it.
There wasnt much breakfast. We came downstairs for this around 09.20am and things were already being taken back to the kitchen. The bathroom in the room was tiny and there was no fan. The staff were few and far between to get drinks from and we was told to leave our key on check out with the reception staff. There was no reception staff and the door to reception was closed. We ended up just leaving the key on the side.
Great location and friendly atmosphere
We paid a high rate while our friends paid a lot less because they booked earlier
Posizione con balcone vista mare
Tavoli appiccicosi
View was excellent
Stairs were a bit akward
We had a room with a view of the bay. Lovely. It was useful to be able to leave the car for a week when we went for an 8 day cruise through the inner Hebrides.
The restaurant service was very slow. Maybe they were short staffed when we were there. Breakfast was a mediocre cold continental buffet.
Outstanding location, lovely staff and nice pub open on site.
Very uncomfortable bed and sofa bed. Only cold continental breakfast available on site (extremely limited offer), hot breakfast offered at a driving-distance location for £12pp supplement. Property can overall be cleaner.
Location,Staff,Views, Food plus Free upgrade to balcony room.
Nothing to dislike.
Staff were great. Food in restaurant lovely, Breakfast self service and very easy. Parking on site.
Small shower, bathroom beju. No view. Difficult to open window in room.
It was a very nice stay. The room was great, clean and the service was very good. The breakfast was extensive and very tasty. Thank you for the wonderful time.
Nice location, staff really helpful nothing is too much trouble
Saw otters from the hotel grounds.
Ubicación 100 de 100. Personal muy amable. Desayuno muy agradable con unas vistas inmejorables. No quisimos cerrar las cortinas de la habitación para dormir de lo bonitas que eran las vistas.
Por decir algo, el baño podría modernizarse un poco. Todo el hotel tiene un punto algo tradicional un poco antiguo pero le da un toque que lo hace aún más especial.
Very attentive and friendly staff, nice room with a balcony and view. Thanks to the staff to recommend what to choose from the menu. We enjoyed the steak pie, fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. Loved the snug.
It has been well renovated and the standard wax high.
Nothing to dislike.
Great view from room with balcony but was unable to use it due to rain , staff very attentive and friendly , evening meal tasty ,
The continental breakfast disappointed nothing cooked available
Staff fantastic
Little worn especially chairs and tables but would not put me off recommending or coming back
Very comfortable room, lovely helpful staff
Small dislike as didn’t watch much tv, but free view didn’t work and could sign into Netflix in room
Very friendly staff. Large room. Great food.
All good
We had booked a room with a sea view and were upgraded to one with a balcony. Staff were charming and the room very comfortable - balcony a bonus. The weather was wet and windy but we enjoyed the balcony briefly! Dinner was excellent. The following morning the sun was shining and we enjoyed the view over the loch before moving on
Nothing to say
Staff were great
Location is stunning.
The location was good, room was ok with a small TV, big mirror and a cabinet . All in all a quiet stay what we liked and the staff was very friendly and helpful
No sea view from the room - we looked at house walls / the room was simple , no table just 2 small bed sides, the window could not be opened in full so very little air flow , the toilet - shower very small / breakfast had very little choices - no cooked breakfast - no eggs / the big gras bit advertised behind the terrace was not accessable unless you are able to jump over the wall which is managble for someone fit but not for older people / the range of dinner choices in the restaurant are very small - not many choices . Overall I think it's over priced > for the room and the dinner dishes
The scenery
Breakfast was poor very basic continental style not value for money. Our room was above the kitchen and smelt of stale fat and cooking
La situation face à la mer La chambre et la salle de bain spacieuses
La vue de la chambre et le bruit extérieur des moteurs de frigos Le petit déjeuner uniquement continental
Amazing location. Lovely food. Great with dogs. Lovely costal walk around coast.
Comfortabele cabin super mooi uitzicht. S’avonds zie je de zeehonden jagen op vis.
Nous avons adoré ce séjour. Chambre propre, très bonne literie. Petit déjeuner idéal et très copieux avec une superbe vue. Personnel très sympathique
lovely facilities. Nice breakfast in a resturant over looking the water.
La vue sur l’eau était très sympa.
Hôtel un peu vieillot, petit déjeuner continental, pas de choix écossais.
Loved the location, the staff was lovely. Continental breakfast included was a bonus.
The beds, two twin were very thin, similar to a cot. I don’t want to be critical but they could use an update for a better sleep in a beautiful place to chill and explore. Only negative.
Lovely position. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious evening meal. Stayed over the night before catching ferry in Oban
Everything was good
Goede locatie voor doorreis. Dinner was goed.
Ontbijt was matig. Accomodatie iets verouderd.
The location was lovely with some nice walks from the doorstep. Staff were very friendly. The food was excellent and the house wine very reasonably priced.
Nothing
Ondanks dat het een continental ontbijt was viel dat erg mee
Alles erg verouderd en bedden waar je eigenlijk niet meer op kan liggen zo slecht. Gelukkig hadden we maar 1 nacht geboekt. Het water wat uit de douche kwam mag je geen douche noemen zo slecht
Location to Oban . Nice view of the sea
We were travelling with our dog and this was by far the dog friendliest place!
No lift.
La vue des chambres - diner très bien, très calme
Chambre un peu petit mais bien équipée. Douche un peu petite
Great location
Some rough edges around replacement windows overlooking bridge, just need a tidy
De mooie ligging
Het tweepersoonsbed was te klein. Ook erg kort.
Zimmer mit Blick zum Wasser- eine 10/10; Restaurant sehr gut, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter
Position, newly refurbished spacious family rooms. Friendly staff. Dinner good.
Quiet peaceful location with beautiful views Convenient for Oban
They seemed a little short staffed
The breakfast was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nothing
Friendly staff on arrival. Freshly refurnished room with a good view
Lovely staff. Friendly, professional & happy to help. I wanted a highly rated, well priced accommodation to get a good night's sleep after the drive from Glasgow before getting the ferry from Oban to Mull the following morning. Would be happy to stay here again
The mattress was a little soft for me.
Great location and very comfortable room.
Friendly staff, excellent dinner, spacious room, lovely nearby coastal walk.
Nothing
Le lieu cadre magnifique
Le rapport qualité prix déplorable, chambre très petite, cabine de douche minuscule, literie médiocre, petit déjeuner continental sans grand choix, nous devions rester deux nuits que nous avons payé mais nous avons préféré malgré tout partir et trouver un autre hotel
Friendly pleasant staff
Had to leave early for ferry. Appropriate breakfast had been promised, but seemingly no means of making a hot drink in breakfast area. Would probably still book another time if getting early ferry from Oban.
Location was great, really lovely, accommodating staff, clean, rooms had been modernised and tastefully decorated. Lots of posts about the breakfast but it was really fine and there were different options and plentiful supplies which were replenished regularly - our family of 5 left on a full stomach- yes no cooked but continental was more than enough and as advertised
Shower pressure wasn’t great. We arrived later so ate in the hotel. Menu was perhaps limited but I understand that may be the case for a small hotel and it did have old school pub options like roast, fish and chips & scampi so will definitely tick many people’s boxes just not a higher end pub. That’s fine just shouldn’t advertise as a seafood restaurant as per the sign outside (maybe from a different time?) as there wasn’t any such choice and the salmon special was a mini portion for a child and it and the sauce were very overcooked. Stick to traditional which was done well and thanks for the nice service.
La vue, la chambre
Le restaurant est à éviter. Service très très long. Burger immangeable à cause d'une sauce au poivre immonde ! Beignets de crevettes sans goût (congelées)
Views from the room
Nothing
Parking good,restaurant excellent. Rooms quiet and comfortable.
All a bit dated
Lovely location. Bedroom and bathroom looked recently updated. Staff were all lovely. Good value for money food with plentiful portions. Very clean.
I thought from the pictures that hotel was going to be a bit posher than it was but it was fine. It’s an old property so stairs are precarious and wouldn’t recommend to anyone with mobility issues. I hadn’t realised I was only going to get a continental breakfast. Breakfast was fine though.
