Kevin was brilliant, the hotel is gorgeous and worth the money to stay. The shower is fantastic, one of the best showers I’ve had in a hotel. Hotel is a work in progress at the moment waiting for the restaurant to open but was recommended to go to Markie Dans for a meal. Delicious as well.

Beautiful property with nice, helpful staff. Easy walking distance to docks and marina, in addition to dining options. Only knock is that parking behind building is a bit tight and sparse.

We reserved 2 rooms through Expedia on “Pay There” basis. The property charged us for both rooms prior to us even checking in, which has never happened to us before. Then when we checked in they said they couldn’t find the other reservation and they would try to call Expedia because it must not have been put in, even though I had reservation confirmation. They did get us another room that they also put a charge though for then I had to sit on hold with Expedia for over an hour to try to figure it out. In the end Expedia blamed the hotel and the hotel blamed Expedia, but they did refund the extra room charge upon check out time.

Loved this place. Walkable to all the waterfront of Oban. Staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. The only one minor issue was that the bed was extra firm. The buffet breakfast was delicious and the parking was easy and would highly recommend staying there.

Note that parking is around back of the property, and is tough to see driving on the street. It’s a nice lot though. Oban is walkable, and The Scot is in a good location to walk all of it. No elevator, so might be difficult for people with disabilities to get up steps. No AC, but wasn’t really needed. There was a nice breeze with the windows open. However, the bar across the street was loud, so the windows needed to be closed, and we used the oscillating fan that was provided in the room. Would stay again.

Try somewhere else
There are rather odd rules at this hotel. You need to book a specific slot for breakfast, even though it was buffet style. No staff were around to point out that it was self-service, we had to figure it out ourselves. The rather soulless bar (no draught beer) closed early and we were asked to vacate the lounge seating area at 11pm - even though we were not expecting any 'service' - we were just chatting with friends over a nightcap. There is no lift, and no help is given with luggage - I had to help an older fella with his bags. So, all in all, a rather soulless hotel, devoid of any real service. I wouldn't go back

Not exactly hospitable
The hotel is somewhat faceless, but comfortable. But the lounge area is locked up and inaccessible at night and if you wake up earlier than 7:30, there is nowhere to go outside your room other than the stairwell. In our group of 12, there were several men who woke up early and wanted their wives to be able to sleep in. We had no option but to wander around the streets where there was nothing open or stay inside in the stairwell. Odd.

Nice attempt to revive old rooms, great bathroom upgrades and clean and comfortable overall. The public areas and walls in the rooms are desperate for a coat of paint. The staff were transactional on check in and hard to find on check out, just left the keys after waiting 20 mins. Good location, easy parking and would stay again.

Front desk went out of there way to make sure we had a room to stay in without us being able to communicate with them for a late check-in. We arrived at 11:45pm. Fortunately they had emailed us info on the room and location of key for it. We had a great sleep.

Small hotel with bar/restaurant on the street level. Comfortable bed. I don't think I'd want a room on the street side. It could be noisy. Excellent location on the main street in Oban. Convenient parking in the back of the hotel.
