Good parking with easy to use pay machine. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Room was spotless, comfortable bed and quiet. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Very hairy with our stay. Catered for coeliac disease so that was lovely.

Great location, right next to the train station and ferry port. Usual premier inn value for money. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Tea and coffee facilities in the room, a vending machine in reception. I bought the meal deal and ate dinner and breakfast in the on site restaurant. Usual pub style food, a lot of choice, very efficient and friendly service. Would recommend and I would stay again.

This hotel suited our 2-person needs well for one night. We had the larger room with a fridge and the extra space was much appreciated. The walk to downtown Oban was 5 minutes or less and very easy to navigate to. The automatic check-in machines seemed to require much more details than traditional in-person check-ins, so we switched to that half way through to save ourselves the trouble of inputting passport details. The parking area for the hotel was full so we parked in a public lot just next to the hotel parking and it was reasonably priced (£7.50 for 24 hours rather than £5 that the hotel would have charged)

A really nice Premier Inn to stay at if you travelling or passing through Oban. Located right next to the ferry service makes it suitable for commuting to and from the outer islands without any hassles. Close to all other amenities within Oban as well which is a huge convenience to all. Rooms and dining area are nice and modern.
