We were only here for a night as we were catching a ferry to the Outer Hebrides the following afternoon, but we were very impressed by the young jolly fellow at the reception desk and how welcoming and helpful he was to us both. The dining experience was a bit strange as it was quite formal and maybe trying to... More

An excellent hotel in a great location. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The food is excellent in both restaurant and grill bar. The entire hotel had an excellent standard of upkeep. Check in and check out was quick and efficient. I would certainly stay here again.

We have stayed in a number of Best Western hotels and the food here was exceptional. The staff in the bar and restaurant were overworked but nevertheless the standard of service was excellent. We stayed for 4 nights and my only criticism is that the menu does not change. I understand that the restaurant menu is of an exceptional standard... More

We stayed for five nights here arriving on a Tuesday. Luckily we had taken the confirmation email of our booking as they only had us down for one night the following Saturday! We had paid extra for a superior sea view room and we had one of the first floor rooms with the bay window so you could lie in... More

The hotel is well situated within easy walking distance of the centre of Oban. The views from the hotel over the bay are magnificent, especially if you have a room facing in that direction. Unfortunately we didn't! The hotel throughout was clean, the rooms were comfortable and benefitted from a spa bath. The staff were particularly helpful and quickly resolved... More

When we entered our room we were a little disappointed in the decor, but then to have such a lovely Spa Bath with lights really made up for it. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much for them, some more training would be helpful but everyone was doing their best.... More

We stayed at the Queens Hotel for a 3-day weekend in May. The room, although small, was nicely furnished and CLEAN! The jacuzzi tub was a treat after a long day island hopping. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I specifically enjoyed the buffet breakfast. If anything was not on offer, you don't need it! And the bar... More

We went in for dinner to the "Bar and Grill". I went up to the bar to order, where the man on duty studiously avoided looking up to acknowledge my presence, because it was MUCH more important that he cleaned off the sink and then went to wipe down a table (even though there was no one waiting for one)...

£110 for a double room when I wanted a single (this was at a reduced rate) and cannot see how the hotel can ask this much, what for? A kettle that I had to place on the floor to use, why so low? Lovely bed and nice big bed but really does not justify the price. Never again.

Well situated on the esplanade in Oban. Staff very helpful, efficient and friendly. The food in the restaurant was really excellent and at £ 28 for a three course meal it very good value. Stayed in the extension building at the back of main hotel. Perhaps the building itself is a bit dated but the rooms were excellent, clean with... More
