Great location with offstreet parking. The coffee machine was great but there was only one pod with coffee ... others, were milk.

Recently renovated/remodeled, very clean
Francois, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was fine, a good location within Oban but several things were slightly awry. There was no information in regard to safety procedures inside the room or any information whatsoever about Oban and places to go etc. We had to phone up to get the wifi password which eventually dropped out for 24 hrs and we had to hotspot off my phone to glean info about who to contact. Additionally, we had to contact the owner about a fire alarm in a room other than ours and then was asked to help turn it off. The bathroom was tiny and having to sit sidesaddle on the toilet due to the sink being too close was interesting!!! Having said all that it could be a great place to stay with a little more attention to the details above.
Edwin, 3-night trip

Lynda, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Easy to find & park up. Easy to check in. Room was clean. Close to shops, restaurant and the sea. Disappointed in the WiFi but had a good data signal so used that instead.
Nasimul, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Turn exterior door handle straight up to get the deadbolt to lock or unlock. Lock on room door is normal. Great location.
Leanne, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

We felt mislead by the description and photos of this room. It was so small, that we had trouble even walking around, especially with luggage. The area was great and walkable to everything.
Mary, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfortable Stay

A comfortable room with a spotless bathroom. Clear and accurate instructions about entry and we had off-street car parking. In Room 2 there was one chair and no desk. A warm and cosy room. Ours was a three night stay.
Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property felt very new! Loved that there was Netflix and Prime Video included with the room. Everything was clean.
Samin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little apartment a block away from the main streets of Oban, with off street parking in back and an easy walk to restaurants and bars. Minor issue getting email instructions on how to get in, but when I left a message to the host they called back in minutes and resolved the issue.
Robert, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

A live person should be present around check in time. This was not a pleasant experience
Pierre, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great room and amazing value

Beautifully furnished room in a great location, and amazing value. The only negative is that the internet didn't work - the signal keeps dropping after a few seconds. I did ask the owner to look into this but there was no improvement. But at the price paid, it’s hard to complain …
David, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was very clean, very quiet and the property was easy to access, in a safe neighborhood and in a walkable distance from the train station/port area. Unfortunately, the standard double bed was a little tight and we wish we would have had a queen-size bed.
Marie-Claude, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Small things. Coffee maker was defective. Just blinked at us. The shower drain was slow, so water was pooled around our feet after very short showers.
John, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Worst customer service EVER

Nice place but won’t be back as the customer service is the very worst I’ve come across.
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfy, close to the action, just no fridge.

A cute place in a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the waterfront. Perfectly situated so you aren’t quite in the thick of the main traffic area but still very close. I loved the parking availability and was fortunate to not have to fight for a spot when I was there. Only downside: no refrigerator. I had to throw out some grocery items on my trip because I had nowhere to put them.
Samantha, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pro - Handy to have free car park on site. Good location for town. Surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy road. Cons - Our room was very small and had no storage (drawers, etc). Temperature control did not work and so the room (number 8 and at the top of the building) was quite hot. Room could do with a paint as very scuffed - mostly due to the small space and people having to rub past the walls with luggage. Room has a large crack in one wall.
