I can't tell you about my stay as I booked the wrong dates. As soon as I found out, I phoned The Oyster Inn to cancel but because I used Trip.com, they said there was nothing they could do.
I cancelled on Trip.com and the message said that they'd contacted the hotel to confirm if it was ok to cancel FOC. According to trip.com, no response was forthcoming so my booking was not cancelled. My booking has since been ”completed”. When I contacted the hotel the following day to ask why they had not approved the cancellation, they said trip.com had simply asked for info, not to approve cancellation. Who is lying?
Suffice to say, I will not use trip.com again and have decided to stay elsewhere in Oban.
Great bar on the first floor
Staff service is also very good
Because it's a hundred-year-old building.
No elevator.
It may be inconvenient if you have large luggage
Nice little hotel in a central location. Good breakfast and service as well from reception to the breakfast. The room is also very quiet on the top floor.
Only drawback is there is no lift, but not a problem for us.
Parking in the street, you can use mobile phone to pay for it.
This is a hotel with more than 100 years of history. It is nostalgic. Breakfast and dinner are in different restaurants. Breakfast is fixed according to the room number. Reservations are required for dinner. Since it is an old house and there is no elevator, the only drawback is that.
All the front desk personnel are the best asset this hotel has. The place could do with an update of their appliances and furniture in their rooms. Soft furnishings are ok. The cleanliness could be a bit better. They lent me slippers so I could use the steam room and it was a great addition to my stay. Overall I give the place a 3/5.
