It is bad.

It is an old, decaying hotel. The room smelt bad, and there was no way to open the window. The general state of cleanliness was poor. The fact that such a place is still available for rent is unbelievable.

Pictures that others have put up are a true view of the room YOU may be staying at, I thought working away from home and staying in digs was bad HOWEVER, they were the Ritz compared to this YOU SHOULD BE PAYING ME FOR STAYING THERE, if my wife had came with me, we would have been straight back home that day! If the right people went in here it would be shut down FACT!

we knew we were not staying in a high end hotel. this hotel is fine if you need an affordable place to stay. we stayed in a family room with 3 beds. one was a nirmal twin and thw other was a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a twin on the top. the bunk bed was nit comfortable but the single twin was. our shower had a small amount of black mold and the apartment had a musty smell. no wifi password was given and we didnt want to go i to the bar and ask so we lived without it.

Inexpensive ... but

Staff were very helpful. We checked in very late. Room was clean but very dated. One mattress was terrible the other was ok.

Get what you pay for

I didn't expect luxury but it was bad. The bedding was worn and pilling so it felt dirty. The shower might rank as the worst shower I have ever had. I didn't wash my hair for fear of never getting the shampoo out and it was barely warm. The room was not filthy but definitely grubby and had a damp smell. The only save was that it was above a pub full of locals that were friendly and entertaining on a Karaoke night. The big problem with them was that the smokers were under the window after we retired and were loud. I've stayed in worse accomodations, but they were a small town in the former Soviet Union.

The hotels location is great! All amenities like hairdryer, fan etc. were there. Room looks good. But the shower cabin could be renewed as I felt quite claustrophobic. And the main thing that the window was really dirty. I have kids. So obviously they checked everything, they were standing by the window it was all moldy and super dirty. Otherwise room for a night is great.

Clarendon hotel above Clarys in Oban

Great folks! This is a basic room above a pub, so if you are expecting something besides thar you might be disappointed.

Location Location Location. That is about it. This place was very run down. Our room was just so dirty and there were towels stuffed in the window... Not sure why. Maybe as it doesn't properly seal or close? Not ideal for a family, but amazing location to be able to walk around. Kinda noisy, as the bar is down below and our room looked right onto the street. On the first morning, I was awoken around 4:30am by the loud banging and clamouring of someone putting recycling out or something like that. Took a while to get hot water in the shower. Room was so hot and stuffy, but thankfully there was a fan in the room we could plug in. Affordable, but don't expect much. Not that clean. Thankfully, it was just a place to crash, as we were out on the island and walking around for most of our time in Oban.

A room above a pub. Does what it says

As we expected. It is not the Ritz. Rooms above a pub. Excellent location. Quiet clean room. It was all we needed for one night. Would definitely book again.
