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! More

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

Yes, it is old, not really well kept, about to collapse and resembles ancient ruins. But you know what you get. At least our twin room had a magnificent sea view. Helpful personnel, hotel ideally located in the harbour and convenient for walking around Oban and visiting the distillery. If you find a nice offer including Breakfast it is worth... More

It is clear that the Regent was once a hotel of some standing in Oban. Its glory days are long gone, but it still retains the charm of an old fashioned establishment. It has terrific views of the harbour, is centrally located, and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The room rates were excellent, being substantially cheaper than... More
