    It was a very pleasant stay. The only reason why I didnt give a more positive rating about the staff was because we did

    Our stay was Fantastic and we hope to come back to Oban and stay at the Kevin's Hotel again!!!!!!
    The size of the room was great and we so enjoyed the big windows to look out and see the big boats and water!! The kitchenette was an added bonus and we appreciated everything about the room!! We were so excited to be able to leave our luggage there during the day, after checking out of our room, until it was time to catch our departing train in the afternoon.The people were very kind and understanding!!! Thank You for a Wonderful 2 night stay!!!!
    I really have nothing to complain about.

    I enjoyed
    The room was pretty spacious. The kitchen area had a large counter and was reasonably appointed with kitchen ware (could use a wine/bottle opener). The location is across from the ferry dock which is a bit noisy when the ferry arrives and leaves (but not overly loud) and the last ferry leaves about 9 PM. The location is very convenient to the bus stops, train station and ferry dock as well as the central area of Oban. For the price the breakfast was good. Overall a pleasant experience.
