Loved this hotel mainly for its great location and wonderful staff. The hotel is very centrally situated within a 3 minute walk of both train station and ferry port, near shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful in all areas. At first glance, the hotel seems slightly old fashioned and dated; the decor isn't bright... more

Having stayed here with family 21 years ago, we ventured back for one night at the Royal Hotel Oban. Little had changed, except the flat screen TV. Where to begin? The parking lot was filled with broken glass. The hotel roof was being repaired and dripped some fluid onto the dank alleyway. The front desk person started by telling us... more

we love oban. its our "gateway to the isles".but this hotel is just rubbish. the parking is non-existant ( about 15 spaces ) we were told very rudely that the car park was full, even after two cars had left . how did we know this ? because we were left outside the car park ( outside the barrier )... more

Oban is an appealing small west coast town. It's a bit run down, has doubtless seen better days, but it's still grinding along. I think the Royal is the same way. It was clearly something of an upscale hotel some time ago. It's very worn and threadbare now. The room I got was tolerably decent. There was a ludicriously tiny... more

We needed a room at the last minute as ferry to Mull was cancelled due to weather. Front desk staff were helpful and friendly and got us a room at short notice. This is the second time we have stayed here under similiar circumstances and both times the room we have been given (and paid full price for) has been... more

My wife and I had a wonderful weekend in Oban staying at the Royal Hotel. First impressions of the Hotel were excellent, with a very warm and inviting reception area and two fabulous lounges off of it. Our room was of a very good standard and was well catered for. That being said it was the first class service we... more

I stayed at this hotel over the Easter weekend and had a fantastic time.I have visited Oban on many occasions and this hotel is now top of my list,from a beautiful reception area to a relaxing 1st class lounge opposite the reception area with opulent surroundings and a very welcoming fire.We were not disapointed when shown to our room very... more

We booked this at the last minute as it was one of the few places we could get a room at short notice. The reception area was nice but our room left a lot to be desired. It was desparately in need of refurbishment, musty, cramped, hot and you could hear the creaking floorboards of the room above us. The... more

Stayed here on Saturday 24th Feb. Last minute idea for a change, usually stay overnight in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Booked on the day, was about to book on ---.com, quoting £72 for wife and myself B+B. phoned Hotel direct and got it for £70. Check in was fine, smallish room on 5th floor, ensuite was small too, room clean and... more
