Palace Hotel - Small Hotel

I was able to get a room on short notice and really enjoyed meeting the staff. It was right in the city center which was exactly what I was looking for.

Very difficult to regulate the water temperature in the shower. Either scalding hot or ice cold. Hard to get clean under those conditions.

Nicely located and nice people. The facilities are rather old but it is clear that they are working on improving them. Good option in Oban.

The picture listed on line is not from the property. Amenities advertised do not exist. No restaurant or bar. The hotel is in really bad shape and need to be renovated. The lady running the place was really nice.

Greeted by the owner who appeared to be alone. No assistance with baggage, no lifts. Same state as a 1970,s B&B. The owner was friendly and helpful. No breakfast, although tea and coffee were available in the room. The room was small and old fashioned, but clean. The best room was the bathroom which was just recently refurbished and almost the same size as the bedroom.

The entrance and staircase smelled of mould and damp, carpets were threadbare in many places, our bathroom had a leaking roof, there was no blind on the skylight in our room, and the curtain was falling off. Vastly overpriced for what we got - even by usual Oban summer prices.

The bathroom was new and bigger than the room. Know one said we had to climb 8 fights of stairs to the tiny room. It was clean, but old furniture. It felt like a cheap, youth hostel. Very expensive for so little.

This hotel transports you back in time with modern amenities and clean rooms with the old town house decor and feel. It’s central Oban with everything on the door step. Sea views from the rooms. It’s as basic as you like or for a little extra the staff will go out of their way to do anything for you. Although not my style I found the staff warm welcoming and very attentive if I needed anything. Ann was a delight. Thank you for being so kind. The family are well known in the town and support their local community anyway they can. The bar has everything you want and breakfasts always local produce. Lovely night in a comfortable bed nice and warm rooms kept to a high standard. It can be hard to keep buildings like this one warm but our room was nice and warm. Would be more than happy to stay here again. If ultra modern is your thing this probably won’t be your thing. I have to say sometimes it’s nice to escape fro that works and experience somthing completely different. Palace hotel family thank you.
