Absolutely disgusting would definitely not recommend staying here at all. The room for my elderly parents was a disgrace

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.

The property is spotlessly clean, kudos to the cleaners !
We were asked to pay cash on arrival as the payment machine was not working. Elaine who attended our arrival and was very nice and helpful. The property is in a very convenient location and very handy for shopping, restaurants and the watersedge where the Ferries depart and arrive.

This place is terrible, wish I’d believed the previous negative reviews!!! 2 days with no hot water, no response to phone calls (phone went unanswered). Bedding was insufficient for cooler/colder weather, had to sleep in clothing to keep warm. No heating to room. Television remote broken, therefore television not working as older model with no external controls, everything relied on remote. Parking is a nightmare and expensive, be warned the road is major thoroughfare for Oban, trucks, buses etc all use this road. Photos online are not a true representation of the place!!! Tired and dirty, not cheap and cheerful. Receptionist on booking in was rude, abrupt and unhelpful……

I felt compelled to write a review to dispel all the negative reviews I've seen about this place online! I was nervous booking it, but I had truly no problems at all at this place. I believe many of the past negative reviews exaggerate, and I hope my review makes more people feel comfortable booking here. I booked the small attic room, and it was indeed small, but this was not a problem and not unexpected. Everything was clean and tidy, and the toilet and shower worked very well. There was no noise issues either. There was only one problem where one morning I was not able to get into the breakfast room (which was in the building next door to where I was staying), and no one was around to let me in. Otherwise, absolutely no problems and I would absolutely recommend Arbour Guest House for the budget traveler.

Unfortunately, our Room no. 4 was very noisy due to the Wind (Windows not thight, roof tiles ratteling). Toilet door could only hardly be locked. Neighbouring rooms could have been listened.

Arbour Guesthouse is a simple place but it's clean and it's a good value (considering that accomodations in Oban are a bit pricy). We regretted though that the "double bed" was only 120 cm and not properly advertised as sub-standard. It would be nice as well to have good curtains (blackout and down to the floor) as up north the sun rises very early in summer.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location is great with many restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend a tour to Staffa Island. It was incredible. I would skip the continental breakfast. Overall a great place in Oban.
