I did not like any of it, the room was claustraphobic, the bed was to high. I actually fell from bed trying to get up and scraped my knee. There was no where to go to complain. Very very disappointed.

Facility new, well thoughtout for minimal size room. Perhaps interested; toilet drain leaked. Staff cleaned up and left extra towels. Very close trains, ferries, buses. I did not receive all emails from property they claimed sent to Expedia. Finalizing the stay was not enjoyable experience.

Overall was an easily accessible property, great location as it was near the train station and bus stands. Plenty of different food places nearby. Room was clean however, as there were no windows and it was such a small space, it was very hard to ventilate. Additionally, there is no front desk, which was not a problem in checking in as that is made quite simple, but is annoying during the stay as there was no one to quickly solve any issues that may arise. Would recommend for a short stay!

Average. The location is excellent, but the room is tiny even for European standards. No windows, which makes the room incredibly dark. The bathroom faucet was so stiff, toilet roll holder was broken, and I'm pretty sure there is a leak at the bottom the bathroom drain. Desk space is almost non-existent and milk packages were rancid. Given the cost, I expected more.

This is a bare bones hotel for budget travelers. It offered the basics. Pros-Great location right off the harbor near the ferry. Easy to walk to everything. Felt safe. Cons-Parking is not included (however free street parking from 6pm-9am), spotty WiFi and small rooms. We used Expedia to book the room and somehow we never received an email on how to check in from pier rooms or Expedia. Not sure why and no information on the pier rooms website. This made for a frustrating experience upon arrival. The fishing/tackle store next door was able to help us by calling the sister hotel to pier rooms- god bless David!! The staff was amazing with helping get our room key, the staff being the front desk girl at the hotel and the maids cleaning the rooms!! All in all this place is good for one night.

Pier Rooms is well-suited to its purpose: a good noght’s sleep when in transit through Oban. Good bed, excellent shower, flexible lighting and a small tea kettle for quick caffeination in the morning. Basic tea and coffee are provided. TV above the bed with decent selection and smart TV capability for streaming. Ventilation could be better. CO2 role sharply overnight

This is a great spot for a good nights sleep. The rooms optimize space so it is meant to be a place to drop your bags. It’s clean well appointed and the value and location are phenomenal.

So happy we booked again

We were looking for easy access to the railway station and ferry port - Pierrooms could not have been closer to both. The room is small but we were so impressed with the overall cleanliness and comfort of the beds that we booked again for our return journey. The only improvement I would suggest is a small shelf for the top bunk.
