Positive: Lovely welcome from the host, hotel in a great location for the ferry and the town which is only a short walk away. Lovely older character property with retained period features, high ceilings and cornice etc room had been recently refurbed/decorated. Very comfortable.
Negative: No onsite parking but parking bays over the road which are free after 18:00hrs also a reasonably large car park opposite which you pay for. We didn’t have a problem with parking during our visit.
Summary: Lovely couple of days spent in Oban

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Convenient location right by the port. Walking distance to just about anything right in Oban you’d like to do. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Bed was comfortable. Good shower. Room was clean.
Negative: I love the old feel of the hotel, but the carpets are older, and the air is damp, so it inevitably was a tad musty - I don’t want to confuse it with dirty because our room was very clean.
Summary: Would stay again
