But out of 3 days I also had 3 fire alarms going off.

We booked a superior double room, which advertises as one double bed in a room, we were given, what I think was a family room with a double bed and a single bed. The hotel room was clean and beds comfortable albeit very dated. The hotel, is in need of an overhaul - dated, painting and carpets replaced. The landing at our room had two mop buckets collecting water from a leaking roof! I would like to add that the staff are very nice and friendly ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Staff friendly, plenty of choice at breakfast, glise to all sjooex rtc ##### Elaine Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dain 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Royal Hotel is located right in the heart of Oban, which makes for easy traveling around the town from the hotel.
