Not a very pleasant welcome from Scottish female receptionist. The rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. Room ok, pillows only a couple of inches thick, hair driers available on request from reception. Tired hotel badly in need of refurbishment. Food mediocre. Only upside for me was central location. We arranged this booking via half price offer in Scotsman.... More

Wow! What a stunning location Oban is and this hotel is right at the heart of it. However the Regent seems not to have moved on from the 70s, with it's very aged and tired decor. Check -in was laughable. The night manager was busy playing the pokey machine when we arrived but was friendly enough. Then we we found... More

On reading some reviews we were bit aprehensive. However, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hotel needs updating but this is reflected in the price. Comfortable, clean, good breakfast and very friendly staff. Would go back again.

I am sorry to say that this was the worst hotel experience I have had in a long while, shabby, poor electric heating in the rooms, a shower that my head touched the roof and elbows touch the sides, breakfast was pathetic, with little chice of cereals or fruit, 1 rasher of bacon, 1 egg rubbery, Half a tasteless tomato,...

£40 a night, in the centre of Oban; you DO wonder what's wrong..... Run-down, shabby, not particularly clean public areas, says it all. Room was tiny but beds were clean, bathroom exceptionally small and worn looking. Didn't bother with breakfast, too scared!

Many positives about this hotel, including friendly employees, prime location and bargain price. Unfortunately all of this is overshadowed by a down-at-the-heels feeling. Our room had shabby carpeting, dingy walls, beds with springs poking through and worn-out furniture. A dirty toilet scrub brush was left in the bathroom. We could hear our neighbors through thin walls until three in the... More
