This is an old hotel. Clean and tidy. Walking distance to town centre and some of the main sites. Quiet. (We were on 3rd floor). No lift but that was ok for us. Character - slightly sloping floor. Good value

The property has a very good central location in Oban. Nothing is very far away. However the ground floor is actually a pub which isn't mentioned in the advertising but there is a side door to get into the upstairs accommodation. The rooms were not great. Ours was quite shabby and needed redecorating. Also wasn't very clean. The " residents lounge" seemed to be a games room for the locals in the pub and not for guests unless you wanted to play darts! Bar staff were quite friendly but only checked our room once in six days. The accommodation was generally very poor but i guess that was reflected in the price. Other places in Oban could have cost up to three times as much. I've stayed in worse but I honestly cannot recommend this place. Sorry.

This photo is deceptive - there is NO sign on the front of the building about any kind of hotel, only Clary. I learned from a local at the front outside for a smoke that I needed to go to the bar inside to find the hotel. My room was dusty and dirty, toilet seat was broken, plug stopped working and I couldn't charge my phone, and everything had seen better days LONG ago. I have left more details on google, and am shocked this one was even on Hotels.com. Awful experience.

This was the ultimate ‘budget’ accomodation. I was given the key and told that my room was on top floor. That was about the extent of contact on arrival , other than I bought a drink at bar and had to enquire about wifi. The room was non smoking but smelt like smoke covered up with something strong ! I could not get hot water or any flow in shower !

This place has changed and the pictures are nowhere near what they offer. The smells are horrid and the black sheets are not a good look. What are they hiding? We were given a key and let go. No WiFi instructions or check out instructions. This is not a place for families.

This hotel was not worth the budget price we paid. It was completely rundown and sketchy. I am sure the staff did what they could to clean, but it was an extreme dissapointment. The name of the hotel online does not match the building. No one answered the door to let us in upon arrival, we had to enter through the bar. The shower drain did not work in the room and would have flooded the bathroom. The light did not work above the sink. There should be a warning about how many flights of stairs there are to the rooms. We have dubbed this part of our holiday as "The Scary Clary." Positives: fun adult and kid game room. Close to downtown area & ferry.

Two or three long flights of stairs to get to tourist rooms. Quiet despite the ground floor pub and evening live bands, which I didn’t hear. Great location and quite inexpensive.

The room was spacious and overall clean, a typical "budget" accommadation in terms of furniture. Location ideal for train station and ferry terminal. Bed was uncomfortable and the live music from downstairs was rather loud and went on till past midnight.
