The Scot

The Scot

10/10 Excellent
"The Scott is in an excellent location in Oban, very close to lots of shops and restaurants, and also the Oban Distillery!. We stayed in one of the studio apartment rooms and it was in a separate building from the main hotel and very spacious with a big bathroom, nice bedroom and a kitchenette/living area. The main building had a nice bar that had a yummy breakfast buffet for $20/person. Parking was $10 and right on property. For the price this was a great room!!"

"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good although I think there could have been a bit more choice and some more fresh fruit options to go with the cereal. We were glad we did not ask for a sea view as we discovered that some of those rooms were right on the main road and were also completely visible to anyone passing by - zero privacy!!"
