    For a pleasant stay, consider bringing earplugs for a quieter night due to traffic noise from the main road.

    central location
    clean spacious room
    cramped bathroom

    The location shines, right in the heart of Oban, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and enjoy the local scenery. The budget triple room was clean and spacious. I appreciated the flexibility of the staff. they quickly arranged our late check-in and even managed to get us a twin room despite initial unavailability. The receptionist did a great job handling a long line of guests when the weather caused delays, which can't have been easy. there were areas needing improvement. Shared bathrooms felt cramped at times, especially during busy mornings. there were minor issues with the lighting in our room that could use some attention. a mixed bag but with some charming aspects, especially for those on a budget.

    dirty beds
    poor service

    absolutley horrified by the conditions. I found another guest's earring in my bed and, to top it off, no one ever came to clean the rooms during my entire stay. I expected at least a complimentary upgrade or something, considering I had the misfortune of staying here. Almost wrote a good review, but just couldn’t.

    Oban vibes 🌊

    The room was super clean and comfy, like a lekker retreat after a day out. Chommie at reception was so helpful, even managed to sort out fresh towels for us. Plus, the location was sharp-sharp, right near everything!

    The shared bathroom could've used a bit more love—just a bit cramped at times.

    The location is a real gem, right in the heart of the area, making it easy to walk around and explore. The room’s temperature was decent, providing a comfortable sleeping environment despite the overall condition.

    Several issues stood out during my stay. The furniture was quite shabby. for example, a nightstand made of breezeblocks and a plank of wood makes you question the level of care taken here. Security seems like an afterthought. the front door was often wide open without any apparent lock. Shared bathroom conditions were less than ideal. you could hear everything from other rooms, and there’s a lack of basic supplies as I found the toilet roll wasn’t replenished. The TV was a prop, disconnected and dust-covered, adding to the rundown feel of the place. The experience was a mixed bag, leaning towards below average when considering the price.

    The room was clean and spacious, featuring a lovely chilled fridge which made staying here quite comfortable. The shared bathroom was well-maintained, and the complimentary tea and coffee tray ensured I had all I needed for a cozy stay. Plus, it was conveniently located less than 20 minutes from the Oban Ferry Terminal.

    Noisy surroundings.
