I stayed there in January 2012, unbelievably bad. From the outside the building is filthy and 2 of the 3 hotel signs are hanging off the wall with letters missing. Not a good start. Inside the small reception was empty, eventually adour, miserable woman came and without even greeting me, her first word was 'name'. My room was tiny, the springs in the matress were burst, if I could see through the dirt in the window, a nice view of McCaigs twoer may have been seen. The room is above the bare, pedestrian crossing and the route for heavy vehicles, very noisy. If you look at the photo's I have added, you will see how dire this dump is. Do yourself a favour and spend an extra dollar one someplace else.
Room Tip: Just do not stay at this hotel

Dear Guest,
Many thanks for your comments about your recent stay at The Columba Hotel Oban. I greatly appreciate you having taken the time to share your thoughts. To be fair regarding the lettering on the outside the extremely bad weather in late December was responsible for that. Regarding your welcome and greeting a refresher course on customer service has been given. Thank you once again for your feedback.
Kind regards
Matthew Hamer
General Manager
