Oban hotel rooms a the Crerar

"Pet friendly and the friendly guy behind the bar, and lovely view from room , and comfy bed were really the only positives from our stay. Not allowed to check in until 3pm on the dot. Poor decor throughout, except in bar area. Rooms very dated and in dire need of restoration. Ceiling wallpaper hanging off. Lots of cracked tiles in bathroom. Cracked shower tray. Dead insects found in bathroom. "

"I had a twin en-suite. Which I’m grateful for. En suite was well appointed, appears recently refurbished and clean. Room also was nice. Check in routine is odd. Don’t bother turning up short while before the allotted check in time. You will just be corralled and kept in the bar - where strangely you have to check in, instead of the hotel itself - until 3pm check in. Which is really awakeard if you have large bulky luggage. I saw a number of other confirmed or prospective guests visibly annoyed about lack of [getting] service up in the hotel reception area. And you’ll likely feel obliged to buy a drink or two. Also, don’t believe if you are told you won’t hear the music from the basement bar because “rooms aren’t directly over the bar”. You will. Until 1am, most nights. (For reference I was room 3, lowest one on stairwell). But Staff are friendly and helpful enough though which is always nice. And Oban as a location always helps offset these accommodation oddities to some degree. "

"The location and parking were good. Room was a little on the small side. Would have been nice to have some net curtains on the ground floor to give some privacy from vehicles and pedestrians walking past whilst still being able to enjoy the view from the room. No comfortable seating in public areas. Good choice of breakfast options. "

"Uniquely beautiful setting on the island with wonderful, comfortable rooms, and exceptional dining. Pool area is very nice, with functioning steam room. Unfortunately the sauna was not working during our visit which was the only disappointing aspect of our stay. The suite near the spa was a very comfortable room to occupy. Dinner and breakfasts were thoroughly enjoyable and delicious. "

"The hotel is very outdated and needs a total overhaul, the facilities left a lot to be desired. Parking was very haphazard and hazardous. "

"Reception staff polite but wouldn't say friendly. Minimal contact with guests. "

"Ideal one night stopover for ferry from Oban. On the pier with patking at the railway station. Room is small but had everything we needed. Shops and restaurants nearby."

"Located in a great spot! "

"Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. The room was spacious, pretty well furnished and clean. Dinner and breakfast was not exceptional but OK. However the biggest pluses were the tranquil location overlooking Loch Feochan and the staff. From arrival to departure every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Tom needs to be singled out for being exceptionally helpful when we discovered a tyre puncture on departure. He helped us to source and arrange for a replacement and fix. despite missing our lunch appointment, the hotel is hardly a bad place to spend an extra 90mins. Very highly recommended."
