The Randal was very clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and breakfast was great! We were happy with our choice to choose The Randal. It was only a 5 minute walk from the Oban Train Station. I would highly recommend this hotel

Convenient location, close to everything.
Room was rather small but nice.

Oban is a beautiful town on the water, with a variety of options for dining and shopping. The hotel is centrally located, in a safe area, the rooms are quite large and it was very quiet at night. No parking on premises but that is the case with most hotels in Oban. Plenty of car parks, though, located near the hotel.
