Excellent Oban.
I enjoyed my stay. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. My single room was clean and peaceful with a beautiful view and an excellent en- suite. My preferred breakfast is a bowl of fruit and porridge and was very good.

Bargain hotel in great location.
The location is great and very convenient. My single room was warm with a comfortable bed and good shower room. The tv had lots of channels and I had a good Wi-Fi connection. I had a great sea view which I loved. This is a dog friendly hotel which matters a lot to me. However, my Golden Retriever could not possibly fit in the tiny lift and I found it very difficult to climb to the 2nd floor repeatedly. Next time I would have to be on the ground floor. A great bargain in this day and age though.
