Spent a long weekend in Oban, and stayed at the Lancaster as it was reasonably priced and advertised leisure facilities, and with the unpredicatable weather in Scotland, thought that would be a good idea! Had a lovely room to the front with excellent sea views. Staff were friendly, the room clean and great breakfasts each morning - again with great... more

How they can justify the prices they charge is beyond me. I am in Oban through work on a regular basis and will not be staying in this place ever again. There was hairy soap in the bathroom, creepy stains on the bedding - i need not go on. I realise if you want cheap accommodation you can't expect the... more

We planned a 3 day break away as heard Oban was lovely. We loved Oban and the people were friendly but the hotel was very disappointing. It smelt stale and of cigarette smoke. The decor was in need of repair and i found the leaflet very misleading as the hotel was described as modern. Our room had a cracked sink... more

There was a stale smell throughout the hotel. Our cental heating radiator didn't work in our room so we had a 1960's relic of a plug-in radiator to heat the room (this is February in Scotland!) TV did not work, beds were small and the plastic sheeting rustled throughout the night. The shower was a drip and impossible to use.... more

Though some staff were friendly others left a lot to be desired. The room in which we stayed was extremely noisy (loud street noise and party goers in the hotel), beds uncomfortable with an uneven mattress and the bathroom was tiny. The rooms were very dated and shabby. Definitely not value for money. Better choices to be had in Oban. more

Don't stay here. The exterior of the hotel belies the general tattiness and tiredness of its interior. We took a look at the leisure aspects of the hotel and they looked a lot better, but we didn't use them. Our room was dated and fusty, with the general fixtures old and unfashionable. We even had a waterproof bed protector under... more

My daughter and myself stayed here last year and the accommodation could have been better. Room was along many corridors and smelt of smoke. In house video was a marathon to get sorted out, up and down the above mentioned corridors several times before successfaul. Pool/leisure facilities were excellent, and more than made up for the accommodation. Breakfast adequate and... more
