All good, except the receptionist/waitress for breakfast.
She was very brusque and short, as though “we” were putting her out.
We sense she needs additional help, as in not enough staff. And we sense she’s not being managed.
On leaving there was minimal interaction.
Won’t stay again sadly as the hotel itself was pleasant.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Very nicely decorated. Room was small but very comfortable. We had dinner & breakfast in the restaurant and both were excellent. The location was fantastic. It overlooks a beautiful bay - great sunset. Easy, safe walking to the busy downtown. Highly recommend.

10-11 July 24.
Overall we had a really good experience at this hotel, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating and the room was well furnished and clean. The complimentary breakfast was also delicious.
The only downside we found was that since we were on the ground floor and the building is quite old, we could very clearly hear people moving around in the room above us, which made it quite difficult to get to sleep when they didn’t stop moving until about 1am. Obviously this is not the hotels fault, but in future I would request a room on the first floor.
Overall we had a great stay and would definitely book again.

Besides an outstanding in-house manager the hotel lacks a lift, all rooms are above the ground level and nobody was available to help with the luggage, we have to ask for outside help.
The room bathroom was tiny to say the least and lack even tissue paper; finally the hotel does not have laundry service, which is not acceptable in a hotel that charges almost US$400 daily per a room.
Breakfast was good but I shall not return to it.

The staff, decor and breakfast were the top pros of this property. A very charming boutique hotel right across from the water with an exceptional view. There is parking onsite and complimentary breakfast in the morning. It is about a 15 minute walk from the city center. Would stay here again.

I enjoyed our stay at No.17 The Promenade. The hotel staff were very pleasant and the decor in the hotel was pleasing.
Our room was clean and nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately there was a constant noise all night from the kitchen, possibly from a refrigeration unit, but fortunately I had my earplugs, which I wore most of the time, drowned out the noise.
The evening meal my husband and I had was very nice and there was a good convivial atmosphere.
We would go back to the hotel but would request a room at the front of the hotel.

The manager and chef were phenomenal! Book dinner reservations far in advance. Best breakfast in Scotland! The rooms are each unique and lovely. Can't recommend it enough. If you're in Oban, stay here.

Nice (funky) hotel in re-done historic building. It has the quirks of an older building but has been thoughtfully remodeled and lavishly decorated. Great staff. Great location.

Can’t say enough good things about No. 17! We loved the decor and the assorted cozy gathering spaces. Lovely view of the harbor from the front room and a cozy salon to enjoy drinks and games. Our room was so comfy and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We had the best breakfast on our trip here - brioche french toast and eggs Benedict. Location is not far from town and parking is convenient. Stay here!!

We loved our stay at No17 Promenade. Despite a skeleton staff due to some sickness, those that were on hand were excellent and couldn’t do enough for us.
The room was lovely and spacious, the breakfast plentiful and the food in the restaurant in the evening (Porcini) was a real highlight!
