The Regent Hotel

After having read the reviews of this hotel on trip advisor I was relieved that the hotel was as good as it was. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room, while basic and with a view of a derelict building was clean, warm and comfortable. I had a full and uninterrupted night's sleep followed by a more than adequate breakfast. Have paid a lot more for a lot less in my time.

Clearly this hotel is in need of a lot of tender loving care. However i only paid £30 and I felt I more than got my money's worth.

Staff pleasant and efficient good clean room suitable for a straightforward stay with easy access to oban town centre

Location and price

Badly marked bath

Superb location on seafront.Starting some long needed renovation.

Check in would be much friendlier ( especially to foreign guests) if they looked at the booked reservation and not asked for all the details already printed on it.New shower unit had no place to put soap etc which led to me putting my hand on a used soap bar and bottle top on top of the shower unit.Hole in bathroom door due to it hitting table top.A Doorstop would have prevented this.The fire exit on top landing ( next to our room ) was blocked by a ladder.It was removed on my reporting it to reception.Breakfast was overcooked despite only a few guests in the dining room.

It was clean, bright, restful and central.

The struggle to aquire a bottle of water after 1 A.M. The very slow and unattentive service at breakfast. The quality of breakfast was poor eg second hand toast, bland food and undrinkable coffee.
