Name: Claredon Hotel
Address: 1 Shore Road, Oban, Argyll und Bute, GB
Rating: 6.8

Was Gäste sagen

Das Claredon Hotel ist ein günstiges Pub mit Zimmern im Zentrum von Oban, das für seine praktische Lage in der Nähe der Fähre, des Zuges und der Busse, die niedrigen Preise und das im Allgemeinen freundliche Barpersonal gelobt wird. Bewertungen bemängeln jedoch immer wieder die veraltete Ausstattung und eine sehr lebhafte Atmosphäre im Erdgeschoss. Die Zimmer sind einfach und abgenutzt, mit unterschiedlichem Komfort und gelegentlichen Problemen wie unzuverlässigem Warmwasser, instabilem WLAN, schiefen Böden und Lärm von der Bar oder der Straße; einige Gäste fanden die oberen Etagen ruhiger. Die Rückmeldungen zur Sauberkeit sind gemischt: Einige berichten von Schimmel, Feuchtigkeit oder Rauchgeruch und renovierungsbedürftigen Badezimmern, während andere angaben, dass ihre Zimmer für den Preis sauber waren. Es sind Treppen zu erwarten, aber kein Aufzug, an belebten Abenden gibt es bis spät in die Nacht Musik und keine Verpflegung vor Ort, so dass viele Gäste in nahegelegenen Lokalen speisen. Insgesamt ist es ideal für preisbewusste Reisende, die Wert auf die Lage legen und nicht auf Luxus bestehen.

This room was very cheap and for the price I was happy with what I got. Rooms are above a pub. First floor are common rooms with dart boards. Second floor rooms 1-6. Third floor 7-12. I was in room 8. This room was pretty quiet. On Saturday night I could hear some noise from the street outside the pub but nothing too bad. There was a darts competition or something in the common rooms which was very loud but couldn't hear from third floor. I'm sure on first floor it would have been a problem though. Internet is available in the rooms, not only in public places like some of the info suggests. However the connection did drop out at times. It's clear the place has been redecorated recently. Bathroom still a bit grubby though. My only real complaint is there was no shade on the skylight so I was awake by 7am because of the light.

Clean older room, remodeled a little, nothing fancy, but the price reflects it (58£ i think) and it was fine for just one night. FYI 2 flights of stairs … Parking in front in the street free from 6 pm to 9 am. Local bar downstairs but no noise.

It's a characterful pub with rooms above, and crying out for a facelift. Nevertheless our second floor room was clean and quiet and served us well for a one night stay before the ferry. For public transport location couldn't be better. Wetherspoon is handy for breakfast. Karaoke enthusiasts could have a great stay here.

Guests smoking at fire escape door. Rolls of underlay blocking hallway. I had to leave a night early due to noise from Bar Area. Won't be going back.

You have to go into the pub in order to gain access to the hotel, which was abit confusing at the beginning, however everyone was friendly. My room was fine, shower was nice & hot & the bed was very comfortable. Overall I was happy staying there & I'd book again

Wasn't very clean, there was cob webs and spider webs, lots of dust, carpet didnt look vacuumed. The shower didn't drain (while waiting for the hot water to come through the shower bottom basin filled up and didn't drain until the morning). I didnt even end up having a shower and had a sponge bath instead from the sink. Misleading as the property says it has WiFi, however there wasnt any in the room.

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.

Despite some other visitors concerns I had a lovely experience. Easy to book, called a couple of times before to discuss arrival times and confirm bookings, staff were pleaseant and helpful on the call. On arrival on a busy and noisy Friday night, staff again were lovely and helpful, locals/regulars didnt stare or make us feel unwelcome, found parking right in front of the property, basically it was seamless - very welcome after a long night drive. Rooms were spacious, well-equipped and clean. Leaving early in the morning was simple as there was a prviate doorway for guests. While I appreciate some of the rooms may have been noisy on a weekend night we got three rooms on the top floor and had a quiet peaceful night. And it is very conveniently located in the town.

Aufenthalt für 2 Nächte

We had a lovely stay here. The room was cosy and spacious and the hotel was perfect for the train station, harbour, shops and supermarket. On our last day all transport to Edinburgh was cancelled so we had no other choice but to stay in Oban another night. This was incredibly stressful but the two ladies, one in the bar and the lady with red hair, I'm so sorry I didn't catch their names but they were able to keep my family booked in the same room for another night. I'm so grateful for this but they very accomodating, helpful and really understanding of our situation. This is the difference between a locally owned property in a small town and a chain hotel in the city where everything has to be done via a process. Here, nothing was a bother. Oban was where I use to come up on holiday every year before I moved out to New Zealand so it's a very special place to me. The Caredon was definitely a good stay and is certainly stay here again!

The staff at checkin was lovely, however I had to call no text/email message was returned. All good easy checkin. The property is severely dated and run down but it was the only room available in a last minute decision to travel to Oban. It does state free wifi but it did not work on our stay. It was clean safe and quiet. Don’t expect extravagance but nice people.😁if we had to we’d stay again as the price was good!

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

I wanted an overnight stay to help with an arranged wildlife tour . My roadtrip to Oban was in excess of 5 hours and i had to be at the ferry terminal by 7am . I wanted somewhere to sleep that was close to the ferry . Location wise this fitted the bill. The price is excellent . Yes the decor is tired , but the room was clean and very comfortable. I had read a review that said it was noisy because of music from the bar . To be honest i was on the lowest floor for accommodation and i could not hear any noise from the bar . The only noise was from seagulls (to be expected) and from footfall in the room above (again to be expected). It had separate access so you dont have to go in and out throgh the bar unless of course you want to . The lady that dealt with me was very friendly. You get what you pay for and at £36 for one night i thought it was exceptional value for money . I wouldnt want to holiday there but i dont believe thats the market its intended for . If you need to sped 1 night in order to catch a ferry or if youve disembarked a ferry and need an overnight stay without much expense then yes this could be the place for you. If in future years i do another sightseeing trip from Oban then i would happily use it again .

If you want daily maid service and 24/7 lobby, this is not for you. Great accessibility to train station, ferry terminal, restaurants, convenience stores, downtown Oban. No car needed.

Cheap and cheerful. It's not the cleanest place in town, but you get what you pay for. Central for trains, buses and ferry's shops, pubs cafes and restaurants etc. The bar staff are who deals with you and are lovely and the locals friendly. Weekend live entertainment was great, bar prices are great.They don't do food. But it's walking distance to Weatherspoons and plently other places. If you're getting a takeaway delivered, note that they all shut at 11:00, so order in plenty of time. I would recommend a meal at The Fishouse that overlooks the Harbour. They do a Specials 2 course lunch and early evening meal for £21 PP. The food is beautiful. It is just behind the Fabulous Green Shack fish bar on the harbour front right in front of the ferries. We had a lovely stay in Oban for 6 days no availability anywhere except for the Claredon it only cost £315 for a kingsize bed. It is an old building so run the shower and hotwater tap for a long time, and it will eventually come hot. It could do with a revamp, but that would up the prices without a doubt. It is not suitable for anyone with disabilities, restricted mobility as the rooms start on the second floor and no lift.
