The hotel is located right in the center of town, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are basic with minimal ventilation due to security reasons, but offer a nice view. However, the lack of heating can be uncomfortable during colder seasons. The service is top-notch, with attentive room service and a pleasant welcome drink. The traditional fish served in the dining area is a must-try. Overall, a good value for the price with some minor room amenities to consider.

The hotel has a prime location near the station and the town center, close to the ferry, although it's in an often overlooked area in the center of Oban. The rooms offer a nice view but lack heating and have minimal ventilation for security reasons. The service is attentive, with room service, housekeeping, and a welcome drink. The dining experience, however, was underwhelming with only French fries available. Overall, the facilities are decent but lacking variety.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Oban town center, on a slight hill close to the harbor. The rooms offer serene views and are equipped with minimal ventilation for security reasons, although they lack heating and have only a few chairs. The service is attentive with pleasant room service, housekeeping, and a welcoming drink. Dining mainly focuses on light snacks. Some positive points are the convenient location and friendly staff, but the absence of heating in the rooms and limited seating might not be ideal for all guests.

The hotel offers rooms with bath and a view, but without heating on. The service includes room service and housekeeping, along with a welcome drink. The location is close to the harbour but on a busy roundabout. The dining experience features shabu shabu. The facilities are accommodating with minimal ventilation for security reasons.

I must say, this hotel is quite a gem! The location is excellent, close to the harbor and town center, but surprisingly quiet despite being near the station. The service was top-notch overall, but the lack of room service was a bit of a drawback. The rooms were comfortable, but the minimal ventilation for security reasons made me slightly uneasy. The dining experience, with traditional Greek dishes, was a delightful surprise, though the facilities were a bit lacking in terms of variety. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor hiccups along the way.

The hotel is ideally located, right in the heart of Oban, offering easy access to the town center. The rooms are comfortable and clean, though lacking heating for security reasons. The service is attentive, with courteous staff and room service available. On the downside, the dining experience, especially for peanut butter lovers, may fall short. The facilities are adequate, catering to basic needs. Overall, it's a convenient stay with some room for improvement.
