This hotel is in serious need of a refurbishment. Wallpaper torn, the shower unit is a standalone in an awful casing. No wardrobe just a set of drawers and wooden bar on room door . Floors sloped , resulting in tv and drawers slanting. Bathroom freezing. Good points , the bed & mattress was really comfortable , same for pillows, bed linen nice and clean. Lovely staff. Making the best of things.

We were a little put off by the low reviews of this place, but it fit our needs absolutely perfectly. We are study abroad students on a relatively tight budget, so finding a budget hotel walkable to all the main attractions in Oban was key. I wouldn’t say it was luxurious, as some of the facilities were a bit subpar, but it absolutely did the trick for our stay. If you’re planning a trip to Oban, especially if you’ll be making use of the ferry or the train, this is an excellent, safe, relatively clean, and walkable budget hotel. Don’t roll up expecting the Ritz, but it will easily do the trick for almost anyone staying in Oban.

The check in was a bit of a challenge. The pictures in the advertisement don’t match the current condition. The name Claredon hotel is no longer on the front. It now says Clary bar lounge. After that, it’s a great location to the ferry terminal and many good food options. It worked very well for me.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr praktische gelegen, nur einige Gehminuten vom Fährterminal entfernt, sowie eine Gehminute zur Busstation. Mein Zimmer war sauber und ruhig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und der Check-in verlief auch beim 2. Besuch reibunglos.

Despite some other visitors concerns I had a lovely experience. Easy to book, called a couple of times before to discuss arrival times and confirm bookings, staff were pleaseant and helpful on the call. On arrival on a busy and noisy Friday night, staff again were lovely and helpful, locals/regulars didnt stare or make us feel unwelcome, found parking right in front of the property, basically it was seamless - very welcome after a long night drive. Rooms were spacious, well-equipped and clean. Leaving early in the morning was simple as there was a prviate doorway for guests. While I appreciate some of the rooms may have been noisy on a weekend night we got three rooms on the top floor and had a quiet peaceful night. And it is very conveniently located in the town.

The hotel's location is excellent, as it's close to both the ferry terminal and the bus station. My room (single room) was clean and quiet. When you consider the price compared to the average price of hotel rooms in Oban, you really get a lot for your money. Of course, you can't expect top-notch facilities at this price. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

Lovely hotel for price - being on the top floor with luggage was not so much fun- amazing staff, large room and bathroom, walking distance to main parts of Oban. Bathroom had a bit of mold would be only real issie

It's a characterful pub with rooms above, and crying out for a facelift. Nevertheless our second floor room was clean and quiet and served us well for a one night stay before the ferry. For public transport location couldn't be better. Wetherspoon is handy for breakfast. Karaoke enthusiasts could have a great stay here.

Clean older room, remodeled a little, nothing fancy, but the price reflects it (58£ i think) and it was fine for just one night. FYI 2 flights of stairs … Parking in front in the street free from 6 pm to 9 am. Local bar downstairs but no noise.
