We appreciated it, especially its staff and views. So close to the downtown, 5 minutes on foot. Will be back when in Oban.

Liked dainties at Costa Coffee, it was very close to the hotel. En suite bathroom with all essentials. Besides, we parked the car nearby. Nothing beats being in Kelvin.

Free breakfast with plenty of choices, setting within a walking distance of a ferry port. One could dine at restaurants such as Corryvreckan 5 minutes away. It is really close to the airport. We appreciated this hotel.
