The Pierrooms is a great option for those looking to explore and stay in Oban on a budget. It has all the cleanliness and amenities of a full-blown hotel. The rooms are pretty small, but that wasn't an issue for us. The air conditioner in the room helps keep the room cool and comfortable, and keeps the air moving and from getting too humid. All in all, I would stay again!

The location was great. The keyless entry only works if you have a cell phone with data which was an issue for me. The AC unit dripped all night and made the carpet wet.

Pier Rooms is well-suited to its purpose: a good noght’s sleep when in transit through Oban. Good bed, excellent shower, flexible lighting and a small tea kettle for quick caffeination in the morning. Basic tea and coffee are provided. TV above the bed with decent selection and smart TV capability for streaming. Ventilation could be better. CO2 role sharply overnight

As long as your ok with no windows it is a cute tiny room. We didneed to open the door by AM to reduce the CO2 level (2 adults and got to 1450)

Average. The location is excellent, but the room is tiny even for European standards. No windows, which makes the room incredibly dark. The bathroom faucet was so stiff, toilet roll holder was broken, and I'm pretty sure there is a leak at the bottom the bathroom drain. Desk space is almost non-existent and milk packages were rancid. Given the cost, I expected more.

Comfortable room but musty smelling bathroom

The room was small but I know that when I booked it. It had everything I needed and the bed was comfortable. The major issue was the musty, damp smell in the shower room. It's windowless accommodation and I think this is the problem, or maybe the ventilation in the bathroom is just poor. I'm sure it's something that can be fixed but the smell was bad, even with the door closed, which definitely affected my overall opinion of the property. If not for this I would stay again.

Room was okay the bed was quite high and hard to get up to, I am 5’2 and felt a small step up would have helped greatly I had to jump down. It’s not easy being vertically challenged! The room itself was okay there was a loud buzzing sound all night I couldn’t work out where it was coming from. When I first checked in my room door wasn’t shut properly so anyone already in could have been in there I am not sure if it is the door itself because I had to pull closed whenever I left the room.

Veel lawaai van het bovengelegen restaurant en dunna muren met omliggende kamers. Ligging is wel optimaal in het centrum van oban. Alleen jammer van het gebrek aan ramen en ventilatie; waardoor de co2 meter continu uitschiet tot 1500 ppm.

Small compact room right across from the train station and on the pier. Although smallish room, well laid out and functional and it didn't feel especially small. Including a work desk. Good sized bathroom with a strong modern shower. Never saw a person. Was just emailed an electronic key code to get in.

Facility new, well thoughtout for minimal size room. Perhaps interested; toilet drain leaked. Staff cleaned up and left extra towels. Very close trains, ferries, buses. I did not receive all emails from property they claimed sent to Expedia. Finalizing the stay was not enjoyable experience.

Overall was an easily accessible property, great location as it was near the train station and bus stands. Plenty of different food places nearby. Room was clean however, as there were no windows and it was such a small space, it was very hard to ventilate. Additionally, there is no front desk, which was not a problem in checking in as that is made quite simple, but is annoying during the stay as there was no one to quickly solve any issues that may arise. Would recommend for a short stay!
