5.8/10

The hotel is in a prime location right on the harbor street front, offering a £10 meal and pint deal and central to all the town's best restaurants. The rooms, although clean, were extremely outdated and in need of modernization. The service, while quick to address issues, had some communication challenges. The dining experience was convenient but not up to a decent standard for the 21st century. Overall, a mixed experience with good location perks but aging facilities.

The hotel had spacious and clean rooms, but some issues with the door lock and facing a noisy building with constant air conditioning noise. The service was polite and informative, responding quickly to requests. The location was problematic for certain room features but offered a central position in Oban. The dining experience varied from good to poor depending on the dish. Some facilities needed maintenance and improvements.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I was assigned to was a major disappointment with its outdated look and cleanliness issues, like mould and missing parts. On the bright side, the service was mostly pleasant, and the location was excellent and affordable. The dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag, and the facilities were decent.

Rooms

The room I got was a total letdown. It looked old and run-down, with mould all over the blinds, damp stains on the ceiling, and even dirty underwear left in the wardrobe. Definitely not what I expected.

Service

6.0

The service, for the most part, was pleasant. The staff were friendly and somewhat helpful, although one instance with a strange-smelling room was a bit off. Room service was appreciated.

Location

The hotel's location was a standout feature. It was right in the town center with great views, making it a convenient and affordable choice.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were not the greatest. While there was a good selection, the quality was lacking, especially with limited and inedible choices like the scrambled eggs. A bit disappointing overall.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were okay, nothing extraordinary. They could use some upgrades to match the hotel's potential.
