Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location, all staff were exceptional . Good breakfast and evening bar meals. 24hr reception. Older property so a little run down in certain areas but kept very clean, would definitely recommend as excellent value overall.
Linda, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Close to ferry terminal, railway station, harbour and shops. Hotel is tired and needs some money investing in decoration and furnishings to bring it up to date. Lift has to be the slowest, smallest lift I've ever used. Staff were all friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. Didn't use the bar or restaurant but seemed to be busy.
Mary-Louise, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The Royal Hotel is very central to everything in Oban Lovely warm bedrooms and bathrooms Will stay here again
Susan, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

I've stayed here before and knew it was an older property but very close to train and ferry. The room was a bit dated but clean and big, only thing missing would be a small fridge. I slept like a log. Breakfast was plentiful and I ate here both nights. Bar food was very good and very reasonably priced. Biggest asset is the staff - every one I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. I must mention the showergel. All the way home was wondering who smelt so nice and realised it was me and the hotel showergel.
Fiona, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had another good stay in the hotel and central to walk about Oban
Donald, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel good does need a little updating staff friendly. Breakfast good choice but food could be warmer. Location good. Would stay again.
Valerie, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good place to land and stay in Oban for a couple days. The breakfast was hearty, though typical. Coffee was good. Rooms are clean and acceptable for tourist travel. Helpful staff. Good location overall.

It was a very good stay, with really friendly staff. Breakfasts were good. Hotel was pnly 5 minutes walk from the train station.
L, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay

Warm welcome and great support for my new puppy while staying there, great value and will return
Samuel, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This is an old hotel. It's used by tour groups. That tells you what to expect. Yes, it is a bit dated but the rooms are fine and the staff are absolutely lovely. Breakfast is good and generous. Oban is full of very expensive hotel rooms in the season and I was very happy with the rate Expedia gave me. It's right by the bus and train stations and very near the ferries. It's fine and I'd stay again
Stephen, 2-night trip

Bedroom was tiny and beds were uncomfortable

Kathleen, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely welcome at classic style hotel

Traditional hotel needs some attention: single glazed sash windows mean the room would be hard to heat in winter. Lovely welcome and I was delighted to get a room upgrade 😊
