Top Ardfern Hotel Reviews

No17 The Promenade

No17 The Promenade

8/10 Good
"Excellent boutique hotel. Welcome was fantastic. The Indian lady on reception was very welcoming. Unusual interaction with the waitress the following morning. Scolded for being 30 mins late for the time we said we would be down for breakfast. Told to sit at any table, chose a four seater. Was then asked to move to a cramped two seater, all of the four seater tables were available throughout the breakfast service. Very bizarre. Would stay again now we are prepared for the eccentric staff member."

"The room at the Scott was clean and comfortable. Location was very convenient and walkable to much of what Oban has to offer. It was the only property we stayed at during our highland tour that charged for parking. The only other minor inconvenience was we had to negotiate a couple flights of stairs to get to our room."

8/10 Good
"Good clean room with plenty of storage space and usual facilities ( tea making/ iron/ hair dryer); nice roomy en-suite and plentiful hot water. Maybe I’m a fussy health freak, but I didn’t enjoy the breakfasts—no fresh fruit, quality juice, or muesli ; the cooked options were unappealing and the bread poor. Pleased to say the spa treatments were excellent with good choices and facilities. The therapists were quietly pleasant and efficient. The staff generally were welcoming and helpful"

"The staff at the hotel was really friendly but if you have issues with lifting luggage it may be a problem getting up the stairs . We were not told when the breakfast was over so when we arrived at 950 am it was over and was only given toast and juice and coffee . We really enjoyed the supper as there was only one other place that was open in the village near by pier which was already booked for the night . The stay was really quite in the hotel which was also another plus but the beds were not the most comfortable which it would help if they had a topper on the mattress ."

"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"
