The room was small, but clean. Limited amenities. It's a good location, walkable to everywhere. Onsite parking was excellent. I would say it's good budget accommodation.

A nice clean room with a comfy bed and nice bedding. Room 4 is pretty small and I was only in it on my own and struggled a bit for space. The two chairs provided have low backs so personally for me, not comfy. A bigger, higher table or unit would be much better for making tea and coffee. The small table was so low and awkward. Overall a good stay though!

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.
Verified review

8/10 Very 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.

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

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.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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
