Wonderful room, absolutely spotlessly clean. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Location is absolutely perfect for Oban town. Carpark is a bit awkward but usable, but there is additional parking within a few minutes walk. Breakfast depending on how busy hotel is you get buffet or table sevi both of which gave you a great start to the day.

The Royal Hotel is located right in the heart of Oban, which makes for easy traveling around the town from the hotel. Parking is challenging, though, so be prepared to walk a block or two the the hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious.
