Visted Oban on a day trip and vowed to return. booked the Royal Hotel on the internet as it looked ok. Can only say that I sadly would not return to the hotel. It appears to cater mainly for large bus parties of the more senior citizen. I got a parking place easily enough and the hotel appeared fine at... more

What a terrible hotel. We were allocated rooms on the third floor that looked like something out of the dark ages. The room was dark, dirty and did not appear to have been decorated in years. Outside in the corridor there were no carpets as these were being replaced...allegedly!! The staff could not even be bothered to apologise when we... more

I stayed at the royal when I was up on placement in oban and can I just say the staff all of them are lovely, the food was good and the rooms were clean! what more can a girl ask for, I have got to say even the off duty staff go out of their way to make you feel... more

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! old fashioned, poor staff, not helpful and felt an inconvenience to them. The meal reminded me of school dinners (cheese board was 1 lump of cheddar and stale crackers) even got kids potatoes with my "boil in the bag" lamb and yellow over cooked vegetables! YUK! Full of OAP's so not advised to stay here if... more

Just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. £40 pppn DBB BAD POINTS :- Small car park at rear of Hotel invariably full. On street parking = plentiful in the streets surrounding the hotel but is pay & display with a 2 hr max wait limit ( free to holders of disabled badges and with no wait limit)... more

this is a cheat review really, as we had booked to stay here-and like another reviewer, they had 'lost' our booking. They were suffering from being full, as there had been several ferry cancellations-but with profuse apologies, rang around, and got us an alternative room for the night-along with complementary drinks whilst we waited. Given their booking challenges, they could... more

After booking this hotel online, i was dubious about staying here after reading previous reviews. However we were treated brilliantly and looked after so well. Upon arrival we were given a fas and informative check-in, even asked if we would like a newspaper delivered each morning, a very small nice touch. The evening meals were good wholesome cuisine, food that... more

After a long drive to Oban we were told by an uninterested reception that our group booking of three rooms was 'missing' despite us having booked months in advance and having written confirmation on us. Our 2 night stay was reduced to one thankfully. They did however have room for 2 large coach parties that weekend. Independent travelers may wish... more

Stayed here twice..last time terrible as room that was old, small, and very, very noisy! Walls had holes in them and the bed spread was just gross with "stains" dirty room overall and the front desk could care less. Food ok and couple of the staff were great. Poorly ran overall and over prices. as we could have paid much... more
