Hotel was very clean but in desperate need of refurbishment. meals were very basic and entertainment ancient LOL. Have to say we had problem with paint flaking(dampness)in room, the staff were very apologetic and left wine in our room... More

I stayed here in August with my mother for a week. Hotel is run down and certainly not suitable for elderly people. Hotel lift only takes 2 people at a time, its so slow, and when a coach trip arrives, the queues are out to the door waiting for the lift. The place is run down and badly in need... More

Yes the hotel is a bit jaded but after having spent Hogmanay there, the staff, food and entertainment made up for this. A big thank you for all the effort - we had a great time!! More

My mother and Aunt booked a trip for New Year to Oban (via a well known coach tour operator), staying in the Regent hotel. As always i checked on Tripadvisor to see what was thought of it - and was horrified by the bad reviews...so much so i called the hotel myself. I spoke to a chap called David, who... More

I have just read the review by Magiemac and am quite astonished at the comments regarding the hotel, the food, the cleanliness and the state of the foyer bar. I stayed at the Regent during the same period as the writer and my experience was totally different! I certainly do not recall being served turnip and boiled potatoes one night,never... More

We recently spent a 3 day break at this hotel. The windows in our room were dripping with condensation and covered in black mould, not to mention the dust behind the toilet. The dinner at night wasn't great and for the three nights we had turnip, boiled potatoes and the sweet choice was the same each night. The foyer/bar area... More

I really wanted to like this hotel, I really did. The two stars reflect the fact that the staff are lovely and the breakfast was brilliant. Oh, and by Oban standards it was relatively cheap. Otherwise, the hotel has, to put it kindly, seen better days, and it doesn't seem like it's had any money spent on it in a... More
