Really enjoyed our stay here. It's right in the middle of the main shopping and dining area, and was the perfect location for us. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is very helpful. They don't do breakfast, but give each guest a little goodie bag each morning. The pub downstairs is lively and fun, but not too loud.

Fantastic little hotel in walking distance to everything in Oban. Street parking right in front of the hotel was available, and the hotels bar had 350 very interesting bottles of Scotch, and a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender. If I come back to Oban, I am booking here again for sure.
