Coffee machine ran out during breakfast,

I was very grateful to friendly reception staff. On Friday when I checked our reservation I asked them to buy me a copy of Saturday's newspaper, unavailable on Colonsay where we were going, and was delighted to find it waiitng for me when we returned on Sunday evening.

A chip in bath, can easily be fixed with enamel. Looks ugly. Carpets on stairs threadbare in places. Old hotel but I like its charm!

Central location, 5 mi s from buses a d trains and all shops. I had a road facing room, no noise from trafgic .First night very windy, had to plug a rattling window! Comfy bed. Very clean.

Location

Bedside lamp and wall light in room would not light ? WHB taps and flush handle on WC kept coming undone. Cistern continued to run after flush, and needed flush handle to be raised to stop water. Shower head in bathroom is fixed directly above on ceiling. OK if meaning to wash hair, otherwise, drenched. Minor points which handyman could correct, but an annoyance to the customer.

Our room was clean and comfortable with plenty drawers and storage space. Tea/coffee and biscuits provided. Bathroom clean with walk in shower and plenty towels/ shampoo etc. Meals in the spacious lounge bar were excellent and average prices. Guitar man on Fri night and accordion on Sat night. Music appreciated by all, including bus load of Belgium Cousins. The Royal Hotel has a very welcoming atmosphere and looks after its visitors - why we keep coming back !

Moldy ceiling leak in the bathroom. Quite dated interiors/furnishings...

Great location. Stayed in room 231....was pretty quiet but I don't think many people were staying on that end of the building.

Would have liked a more varied selection of bar meals. Also some gluten-free options.

The breakfast was well cooked and plentiful. The bar was a comfortable and relaxing spot. Location excellent for the station and ferry.

I’ve stayed here before and had a VERY different experience. A bit hit and miss

Ideal for my requirements

The property is tired and a bit smelly it’s about time money was spent upgrading it by from 30 years ago l see many hotels like this in Scotland it’s embarrassing.

The hotel was in a great location and provided a great breakfast free of charge something most hotels now charge for over room price post Covid.

Very dated furniture, mould in the shower

Great location

Stayed in April 2024

Decor was quite dated and it was cold at night as the windows were old and the heating wasn’t on. Also the fire alarm was right next to the bathroom which made the alarm go off a couple of times by accident which was a little embarrassing.

The room was spacious, tidy and clean with a nice view.

My only complaint was the hotel seems a bit tired in appearance, noticed a lot of wear and tear inside the rooms. Wallpaper torn in places, holes in some of the carpet (I only noticed when my suitcase got caught in it), some marks from previous guests. Worth noting it was very clean despite all that.

Excellent location really good base to explore Oban! Staff were excellent and so friendly, couldn't fault them. Breakfast had a good range too and the seaside view was the best in my opinion!
