10/10 Exceptional

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 Exceptional

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 Poor

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

6/10 Good

Disappointing …

Room was clean and bed was okay, but one bedside light didn’t work and the tv wouldn’t work (remote control battery was likely dead). Also not enough shampoo and soap for a 3-day stay.

Review

Issue with the booking due to the booking agent. Staff were friendly and helpful on the phone and resolved very quickly. Because booked through hotels.com and not Expedia we didn’t get access codes. Nothing to do with the venue or us and efficiently and effectively dealt with. Nice and cosy room
W, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, easy to park, and it was clean, but the room was cold and the heating and towel rail would not function. The wi-fi worked on arrival but then stopped working and was unavailable for the evening and morning. The lack of reception meant no way to rectify these things. Room also had two single beds which I was not expecting.
Jenny, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is in a great location and has good parking. Not sure what has happened with the wiring of the televisions, but other guests can not only change the channel and volume, they can turn the tv on in the middle of the night. Both nights had to play remote battles turning the tv off up to 50 times. Fire alarm also went off in the early hours, but those things can happen. Overall, look elsewhere, this was irritating accommodation.

Super place clean and new and say access to town and parking
Kirk, 2-night trip

Christopher, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and comfortable. The walls might be a tad thin but not really an issue. The location is great.

Central Oban stay

Great place to stay in Oban with safe parking for motorbikes. Very short walk to the centre of town. Very comfy bed, kitchen well stocked with equipment needed. Only down side was the sofa looks great but is not the most comfortable.
Helen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Raniven Guest House was a lovely place to stay—beautiful room, easy walk to dining places . I loved staying there.
gail, 2-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

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

Lovely place

Great wee room. Very tidy and clean. Only issue was the TV had a fault and it kept changing the channel and turning off and on

Room 1 is well recommended
Jeff, 2-night trip

8/10 Very 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

8/10 Very good

Turn exterior door handle straight up to get the deadbolt to lock or unlock. Lock on room door is normal. Great location.
