This is an old hotel. It's used by tour groups. That tells you what to expect. Yes, it is a bit dated but the rooms are fine and the staff are absolutely lovely. Breakfast is good and generous. Oban is full of very expensive hotel rooms in the season and I was very happy with the rate Expedia gave me. It's right by the bus and train stations and very near the ferries. It's fine and I'd stay again

Traditional hotel needs some attention: single glazed sash windows mean the room would be hard to heat in winter. Lovely welcome and I was delighted to get a room upgrade 😊
