Warm friendly staff. Great central location. Facility was clean and comfortable. Bedrooms are accessed by spiral staircase only. This was not an issue for us personally, but could be a challenge if you have mobility issues.

We stayed on top floor and both banged our heads on the angled wall/ceiling at least once. Also, the stairs were very steep so beware.

6/10 Good

The staff and owners could not be nicer. We were in room 9 top floor, no lift, winding tight Harry Potter narrow staircase 3 flights up. Old reclaimed building and a passion project for owners. Floors slanted, sloped ceiling, creaking stairs. All part of being old but if you’re looking for decor and a bit of modern comforts, maybe keep looking. This is more of an experience. Wish them all the best. Best part is how friendly front desk staff was and bar downstairs.

Great stay for 2 days. Room was clean and very comfortable with view of harbour. Whisky Vault Bar was a wonderful added bonus.

Fantastic little hotel in walking distance to everything in Oban. Street parking right in front of the hotel was available, and the hotels bar had 350 very interesting bottles of Scotch, and a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender. If I come back to Oban, I am booking here again for sure.

Great location in Oban - a beautiful traditional Scottish coastal city. Only caution for this hotel - you must access your room via a spiral staircase, which is difficult if one has mobility issues. Otherwise, excellent hotel. Nice continental breakfast outside room in the am. Adjacent to a FABULOUS bar to sample whiskies from near and far with patient and fun bartenders to guide your tasting experience. We would certainly stay here again!

6/10 Good

Small but great location.
The people were very nice and friendly and we were given a breakfast bag and bottled water every day. It was very clean and had nice furnishings. Our only real complaint was that it was so small for two people that we could barely move around and had to keep our bags under the bed so we could. Plus the room was a little pricier than other places we stayed that had way more room. It was however in a great location for us for getting a bus, train or boat for our travels and sight seeing.

Small room
The staff were excellent. Rooms were clean and tidy. However, the rooms were very small as was the en suite. Moving around the room was difficult as my wife and I could not pass each other at the same time.

The property is in a great spot and a lovely old building. Rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean.My only complaint is the rules re no food in the room are inflexible when it comes to a guest being unwell.

Great location in a beautiful town. Lots of dining options in town and fantastic pub and patio on site. The bar staff have amazing knowledge of Scotch Whiskey with an impressive selection to choose from. We enjoyed our night at Whiskey Vaults, recommend staying there. SteveC - Canadian
