Weather was terrible. Ferries weren't running. We had to find somewhere to stay. We liked the look of the palace from the outside with it's perfect position overlooking the harbour.
We were given a large room at the front with ensuite bath and shower.

Hotel location is great, and parking is free from 6pm to 8am. Room was on the 3rd floor with no lift but I knew this in advance. More expensive rooms have a nice view of the harbor but the economy rooms have no view, room...More
If ever there were a misnomer, then "Palace" is it. We only booked this place because it was the only one with availability. Oban is a popular destination in August it would seem, so beggars can't be choosers. As far as Oban goes, the location...More

The first time a bathroom was installed in this particular room was 1993 not 1971 as suggested.
We apologise if a previous guest had loosened the shower hose.

I always consider bad reviews very carefully because it is someone's business and livelihood but then I remember this is also about honest feedback so customers know what to expect. I cannot fault the welcome we had when we arrived and the view from our...More

We are sorry if some older towels went into your room as new towels we purchased last year for every room.
The water should be very simple to adjust the temperature as it is a basic mixer tap in the room.
Generally we use medium...More
The good bits first. The hotel was located at the centre of things in the middle of Oban. The views from Room 9 of the harbour were great. Not much noise too. The staff were also helpful.
The bad news- we had to park about...More

Thank you for choosing one of our compact rooms these are priced in line with most budget chains and at our highest level due to the peak season. Our largest room is roughly double this price. Not sure if backpacker accommodation would be priced as...More

There is no private parking. The nearest car parks are in Tweedale Street and The Rockfield Centre in Stevenson Street.
On Street Parking is free over night and I think currently 80p of 40 minutes during the day.
The nearest hotels with some parking and a lift would be either the Royal or the Columba.
