Stayed here for just the one night. Arrived at 2pm, to find that the bar was closed. The reception staff would serve us, but they were a bit busy and as we arrived before check-in time they had to phone around to find if our rooms were ready. It was a beautiful day, and we'd been travelling for hours and... More

We found everyone we met in Scotland to be very helpful and friendly, except the desk staff at this hotel. The hotel is very old, which I don't mind. The rooms were adequate but a little small and noisy. Breakfast was average. Can't comment on dinner as we arrived at 9:30 and they informed us they had just closed the... More

All staff was very helpful and polite, they understood exactly our needs starting with booking the room, assistance with breakfast and service at dinner (restaurant menu was excellent). Overall we felt very well looked after. Location was amazing both for enjoyable walks and for starting points... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night on our way home. The area is very beautiful and the hotel was very good, the one downside it had for us was when I booked I looked for a hotel with a lift as one of our friends is a very active 95yr old and stairs could of been a bit... More

We booked 5 nights in the Queens for Easter 2012. We wanted a bit of luxury so the 4 stars appealed. Many hotels in Oban do not have private parking for all their guests and you end up having to try to park on the street - not always easy. I booked the Queens because their advert lead me to... More

There was a lovely view from the room, with a large comfortable bed. The room was very clean. We both enjoyed the jacuzzi bath after a 6 hour walk around the scenic Oban area. Breakfast was basic and we felt that the waiting staff were in a rush to vacate the area before 9:30. What the big rush was for... More

The hotel was overpriced and we were bothered by creaking floorboards above our room. We could also hear other guests in the room next door. The staff was friendly, the location great, and the breakfast buffet very good.
