Planning a few days away Motorcycle touring for my wife and I, I quickly short-listed a few hotels in Oban for the first night by doing a little hunting on the internet. Priorities were close proximity to centre and Esplanade, own restaurant and bar, free parking off road for my motorcycle and all within a reasonable price. I left booking... more

Was worried about staying here given other reviews on the site. Perhaps these set my expectation levels at 'low', but we (me, my wife and our two children - 7 and 3) had a great time in Oban and its surrounds. The staff were friendly. The room was clean and comfortable and the daily maid service was good. The room... more

Was rather worried about staying there due to the other reports on trip advisor but thought, surely it cannot be that bad. Very rude and nasty staff (one in particular) room was horrible, dirty utilities, no atmosphere at all and the most cramped bathroom you could imagine. DO NOT STAY HERE. more

We stayed here one night only in September 06. Found the hotel by chance since we were touring and just looking for something easy and not expensive. What a delightful stay. The Hotel was clean, warm and very very friendly. On entering reception, we were met by Archie (the owner). He was very professional in welcoming us to the hotel... more

A truly dreadful place that highlights the inadequacies of the Scottish tourist industry. This place is like stepping back 30 years when it was felt quite acceptable to be hostile to guests. The room was rubbish, the staff were rubbish, the food was edible. Stay away. more

Having read the reviews about this hotel we decided that with two good and one bad review posted it was worth taking a chance and booked in for three nights. From the time I phoned to book until the time we left, we were delighted with the staff, accommodation and especially the food, which was better than some 5 star... more

I had to write a review for this hotel due to the remarks previously posted. I work for the National Health Service in Scotland and spend many a night away from home, and I have to say this is by far the best. I have stayed many times and found the rooms clean welcoming and warm. The views from the... more

We have stayed at the Kings Knoll Hotel many times over the last 15 years and from our first stay have experienced nothing but excellent service, wonderful food and cleanliness second to none. On our first stay we were even given a lift to the Mull ferry in order to avoid the rain. On another occasion our car had broken... more
