It was an ok hotel ,the only problem i had was the evening meals in the restaurant were buffet only ,it was a case of take it or leave it, i think it was due to the number of coach tours that stopped here overnight

I’ve been staying at this Muthu for many years now. The reasons for coming back have been the view, facilities and the ease of parking. Recently, the staff have remained consistent and I’ve found them to be polite, pleasant and happy to engage. We love the lounge area and the pool. Some updating could be done, but the rooms have the dated quirkiness which is appealing. It would also be nice if repeat customers were recognised for their loyalty. I’m not sure if Muthu’s systems allow for such tracking, Hiwever, another wonderful visit to Oban.

Clean & comfortable room in a beautiful building with a lovely sea view (paid extra for this, but not much). The bathroom didn't really fit the aesthetic (cheaply done up & out of date), but perfectly clean and functional, which is what matters.

I was warmly greeted by Stephanie and immediately felt welcomed. Check in was easy and we were happy with our room. It was exactly what we were expecting; quiet and comfortable. The breakfast options were tasty and satisfying. The location was also wonderful. We were able to walk to dinner and we got a surprise by being entertained by a pipe band out on the streets while walking.

I liked the breakfast and the look of the public spaces. The mattress was very stiff. The bathroom did not have wash clothes and tissues. It also did not have much surface area for placing toiletry bags nor hangers for towels and clothes. There were no plugs anywhere near the bed, so I had to run an extension cord across the room to power my CPAP.

My stay was ok. The room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. But, I paid extra for a room with a sea view. It was a single room, which was fine, as I'm a solo traveller. However, I suppose officially it did have a sea view, but the room was at the side of the hotel, so it was only a partial seaview. This was a bit disappointing.

Must do better

For the price we paid for a Junior Suite there is plenty of room for improvement. TV didn't work until facilities fixed it the following day. Two single beds joined together doesn't make it a double bed. Fantastic view from the room until you saw a pile if scaffolding and extremely unsafe wiring on the roof.

This hotel struck me as an old-time resort hotel, something out of a movie! The rooms were gorgeous. There was a pool (which we did not use). There were several dining options, a beautiful reception and bar area, and wonderful views of the water from the lobby and from our room.
