Arbour Guest House

The description was lacking.. Looking at the descriptions of the room, it’s very deceptive because I had no idea that we would have a shared bathroom. It makes it a point to say when there’s a private bathroom, but it seems to omit that from the shared bathroom. For three people the room was extremely small I get it’s a budget hotel but I would’ve paid the extra money to have my own bathroom. Otherwise it is a great location.. I’m sure the rooms that have private restrooms are probably much better and hopefully a little bit larger.

Stay in Oban Actually stayed next door so cannot review the Arbour Guest house No breakfast was included Room was small but adequate Unusual layout with the sink next to the bed

Ok, So we had to book in at a different guest house, clearly inconveniencing whoever booked us in, judging by the prickly reception. The triple rooms single beds mattress clearly had, had its day. the shared shower room (which was a surprise as I thought we had an ensuit) had other residents washing drying on the shower rail. Breakfast was in a third guest house. and at 0730min the morning we couldnt get in the door was looked. My children were standing in the street shivering. So we walked about the town for half an hour until another resident let us in. Other than ms frosty we saw no other staff in the two days we were there. I cant say that I enjoyed the scotish hospitality on this trip. If I ever go back to Oban. I'll be sleeping in my car. Don't stay here.

The room had an ensuite, though it was a bit cramped. The bed was okay, but a bit soft for me. You had an option of a continental breakfast, but the breakfast room was at another associated property 2 doors down. It was within walkimg distance of the town centre.

Large clean room with shared bathroom (it wasn’t clear this was the case when booking, but the other room was unoccupied). Fantastic location, quiet. Good value for money.

Please ignore the negative reviews about Arbour Guest house Oban. We found it to be excellent value for money. Our check in was easy and with a friendly reception. As most guest houses I have stayed in since the 60's it has a shared bathroom, not en suite or it would be a hotel. Our room was more than adequate on the first floor which was clean as was the bathroom. Perfect location for everything you need. We travelled from France, but if we was ever in Oban in the future we will stay again. One I would change are the curtains, they did let the morning sunshine in. So not a lot to complain about really.
