We stayed for a short break at the Regent in Oban and we were extremely satisfied with the Hotel. We booked on one of the Special Offers and we found that booking on the internet was very easy to do. The reception was really welcoming and the staff very attentive. We were fortunate in getting a very nice room overlooking... more

our bathroom was grubby, the bed sheets had tears in them and the bath towels smelt of cooking oil ! we were seated at dirty tables for breakfast and had a wake-up call of the glass bottles being emptied at 8 o'clock in the morning as well as being woken up at 1 o'clock as they emptied the bottles after... more

Thank you for your feedback above. As with many hotels, The Regent does not have an on premises laundry and so all our linen is contracted in from an outside company. I have however spoken to my Housekeeper about the standard and freshness of the linen. I would like to apologise that you were seated at a used breakfast table...

I was please to see that you enjoyed your stay at the Regent Hotel in Oban. I must admit I was a bit concerned to read the comments about outsiders bringing food into the Cellar Bar as this is not allowed. I will ensure that the Bars team are re issued with this information immediately. Thank you for bringing this...

Before we arrived at the hotel, my wife and I had read some of the scathing reviews and comments about this place, but decided to go ahead and book our trip anyway and find out for ourselves. After all, if the food was that bad, we could eat out, and just use the hotel as a base to sleep at... more

Stayed here last night as was working this morning in Oban, The hotel is very basic and well I guess you get what you pay for. Lady at reception was really nice and friendly. Room was small and I didnt feel safe in the lift. The main problem with the hotel is that you hear everything from toilets flushing, talking,... more

I booked a weekend trip through easy-breaks to the Regent for husband and my mum and dad. £72 pp for 2 nights DBB and free bar 8pm-10pm. With the price in mind and previous reviews read we all had open minds. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. We all had a great time. If the... more

Oban was beautiful. Really impressed with the frontage of the hotel. Original Art Deco. Staff lovely, really pleasant. I had a room with a sea view. Really spacious and clean. Only down side was food. It was awful!! I would stay there again but find somewhere else to eat. more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We could not fault the hotel in any way. Staff were friendly, food was good. Only downside was the hotel has no parking. We parked across the road. It cost us about £8.00 to park from the Friday till Sunday - which we did not think was excessive. We would stay... more

This clearly has once been a fine hotel: very well located on the seafront. First problem was the lack of parking - the dozy lad on Reception wasn't even interested in recommending which of the pay-and-display car parks was the best choice: in fact they had different hourly rates and a maximum stay of 2 hours, so I was glad... more
