The location is silightly out of town but a... More

On arrival we were welcomed by the general manager at reception, very warm welcome given. After a short rest, we went down for a drink and had full intensions of going out for a meal but whilst enjoying a couple of drinks, we got chatting to a member of staff, of whom could not have been nicer so we decided...

Room was fine although overlooking bins which was rectified by shutting the curtains and getting out into the fresh air in Oban.

Hotel doesn't give a good impression with sign outside which is dated and missing many letters....a taste of what was to come... The first time we tried to check in, the business booking had been made under the company name but was not spotted and we were offered rooms at the set price a little too quickly...perhaps the receptionist should...

We stayed here for the first time for two nights from the 7th January, having stayed at the Columba twice a year for the last five years.
