We were a little put off by the low reviews of this place, but it fit our needs absolutely perfectly. We are study abroad students on a relatively tight budget, so finding a budget hotel walkable to all the main attractions in Oban was key. I wouldn’t say it was luxurious, as some of the facilities were a bit subpar, but it absolutely did the trick for our stay. If you’re planning a trip to Oban, especially if you’ll be making use of the ferry or the train, this is an excellent, safe, relatively clean, and walkable budget hotel. Don’t roll up expecting the Ritz, but it will easily do the trick for almost anyone staying in Oban.

The hotel's location is excellent, as it's close to both the ferry terminal and the bus station. My room (single room) was clean and quiet. When you consider the price compared to the average price of hotel rooms in Oban, you really get a lot for your money. Of course, you can't expect top-notch facilities at this price. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

It's a characterful pub with rooms above, and crying out for a facelift. Nevertheless our second floor room was clean and quiet and served us well for a one night stay before the ferry. For public transport location couldn't be better. Wetherspoon is handy for breakfast. Karaoke enthusiasts could have a great stay here.

The check in was a bit of a challenge. The pictures in the advertisement don’t match the current condition. The name Claredon hotel is no longer on the front. It now says Clary bar lounge. After that, it’s a great location to the ferry terminal and many good food options. It worked very well for me.

This hotel is in serious need of a refurbishment. Wallpaper torn, the shower unit is a standalone in an awful casing. No wardrobe just a set of drawers and wooden bar on room door . Floors sloped , resulting in tv and drawers slanting. Bathroom freezing. Good points , the bed & mattress was really comfortable , same for pillows, bed linen nice and clean. Lovely staff. Making the best of things.
