Central Oban stay

Great place to stay in Oban with safe parking for motorbikes. Very short walk to the centre of town. Very comfy bed, kitchen well stocked with equipment needed. Only down side was the sofa looks great but is not the most comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Easy to find & park up. Easy to check in. Room was clean. Close to shops, restaurant and the sea. Disappointed in the WiFi but had a good data signal so used that instead.
Nasimul, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Turn exterior door handle straight up to get the deadbolt to lock or unlock. Lock on room door is normal. Great location.
Leanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property felt very new! Loved that there was Netflix and Prime Video included with the room. Everything was clean.
Samin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable Stay

A comfortable room with a spotless bathroom. Clear and accurate instructions about entry and we had off-street car parking. In Room 2 there was one chair and no desk. A warm and cosy room. Ours was a three night stay.
Peter, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

We felt mislead by the description and photos of this room. It was so small, that we had trouble even walking around, especially with luggage. The area was great and walkable to everything.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very clean, very quiet and the property was easy to access, in a safe neighborhood and in a walkable distance from the train station/port area. Unfortunately, the standard double bed was a little tight and we wish we would have had a queen-size bed.
Marie-Claude, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was fine, a good location within Oban but several things were slightly awry. There was no information in regard to safety procedures inside the room or any information whatsoever about Oban and places to go etc. We had to phone up to get the wifi password which eventually dropped out for 24 hrs and we had to hotspot off my phone to glean info about who to contact. Additionally, we had to contact the owner about a fire alarm in a room other than ours and then was asked to help turn it off. The bathroom was tiny and having to sit sidesaddle on the toilet due to the sink being too close was interesting!!! Having said all that it could be a great place to stay with a little more attention to the details above.
