Room was clean and tidy. Entrance via locked door was damp smelling which would put you off but once inside room was excellent for price. One problem was we are 69 and there was so many stairs to room. Real friendly place but next time ld ask for a lower floor room. Our fault for not requesting.
Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, good basic accommodation.

It was shocking for £70.00 a night. My room was disgraceful and shabby. The hotel/pub was full of drunk people wandering around the corridors shouting. Loud inside and out. Karaoke could be heard until gone 1.00am. A rough place and rough experience all round.
As with previous reviews the place needs a total refit. When I booked I had read the reviews and new what to expect . The room was cheap and we got what we paid for . The bar is good with nice staff. Black linen is a no no !

Decent room, value for money in a tourist town.
It is important to remember that this is a pub first with rooms playing second fiddle. That said, the room was good for the price and just distant (meaning on the second story) to where the noise, even on a Saturday night, could not be heard. There was even a separate entrance having a key so the drunks could be avoided. I'd stay there again, given the price.
Filthy window, bathroom and shower
Lounge filled with empty cans and food waste, pizza boxes with half eaten pizza in them
Peeling wallpaper, threadbare stair carpets poor paintwork
Needs complete overhaul or demolition

Clean and comfortable although above a pub very quiet. Excellent location for town and travelling. Made to feel welcome. Plenty of eating places round about. Would highly recommend this accomodation

This is very close to the station and ferry terminal, there is reasonable paid parking nearby.
Very central to town.
The bar is nice.
The hotel maybe a bit rundown but for the price you cant complain, it has a shower and internet TV
Staff were okay but we had to enter and leave through a side door or walk through the bar. The room we were in had mould in the bathroom and the plaster above the bed was cracking and looked like it had a water leak. The beds are comfortable but not over comfortable. The view from the window was of a slate roof.
I enjoyed my stay at the Claredon. Aside from having to navigate some narrow stairs with my luggage, I don’t have any complaints. The room was warm, dry, and quiet, which was a nice reprieve from the Argyll rain. All in all, I would stay again!
Great little location pretty much in the middle of Oban and walking distance from everything
Ok its got some stairs to get to your room, but the rooms are quiet clean simple and do the job perfectly. My 3rd visit this hotel and this is now my first choice hotel in Oban. I will be back
The hotel is very very outdated. Wallpaper, paint mould is falling from the walls. The cobwebs have grown cobwebs. The bathroom window is held sut with a towel or two. The toilet nearly falls off when you sit you arse down. The shower is the perfect size for a little person. Once you get past the cobwebs, mould and you come come out dirtier than when when you went in. Beds was ok covers were clean beds rattled. Ive saved the positove toll last

Budget room very clean and hospitality tray excellent. Bathroom a wee bit tired as was the room but the comfortable bed and clean bedding made up for it.
Had an issue with the TV not working but this was rectified immediately.
Good access to restaurants as no food offering at hotel.
Would defo make a return visit.
