Initial impressions not good. I knew no parking on site, but drop off area chaotic. Steps to entrance and more steps and long way to lift (not sure how disabled would cope.) However staff friendly, room ok. Comfortable bed, decent breakfast and nice views of bay outside

Very poor value for money

Sorry to say I felt incredibly ripped off here. The decor was shoddy, the mattresses lumpy, the service lackadaisical. Litter and only instant coffee available in the room. Oh, and residents, incredibly, have to pay to use the spa which when you are paying over £200 a room is not what you expect.Good value is hard to find on the west coast of Scotland in August but really, I wish I’d gone to the Premier Inn.

Fabulous stay !

Beautifullly situated hotel with amazing views over the water with lovely seating area to enjoy the scenery. Small, but comfortable clean room. Delicious breakfast served in no time. Staff were friendly and professional and their uniforms were so smart. Highly recommend this hotel, we’d definitely return.

The Gem of Oban

The chef and the floor staff in the hotel restaurant should be complimented on their food, appearance and attention to detail. Just amazing keep up the fabulous work. The bar and lobby entrance sharp and sophisticated , I must say a special mention to the front bar with view over the bay. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed and decorated. For those with fur friends - there is a doggy wall of fame

Upon returning to our room after a long day of viewing the beautiful sites of Mull and Iona we found the room had not been serviced. When we inquired we were told the "do not disturb" sign was on our door. It was not! We asked for a fresh supplys of coffees, etc. It took three trys to get it. The worst part was the staff was argumentative about the do not distrub sign. It put a damper on a beautiful day.
