    Rooms are a little dated but have character with good amount of space.

    Has a lovely living room style communal area to relax in with superb views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to park our bikes in the lobby as it was quiet. Felt very family friendly with our 3 year old.

    The decor in the room/bathroom was looking a bit tired and we had a bit of an issue with the shower water going hot and not so hot, but I like a cooler shower so no problem for me, hubby got a bit of a shock. But would rather have it that way than scolding hot which has been our experience at another hotel in Oban. Please don't let that put you off because you would miss out on a real treat!

    The location is fantastic, we had a room at the front of the buikding over looking the lock. The staff are very helpful, friendly and we would definitely stay again. The food was very good and reasonably priced! Thank you for you hospitality.

    After a month travelling through Scotland have to say this was the best breakfast we had. Had dinner in the hotel as well and the Chef was over-the-top amazing. Staff was extreme helpful with local attractions.

    The link on the booking dot com email to the hotel website didn't work (and we were being asked to use that to book a table for dinner). I emailed the hotel direct on their info@ email address but didn't get a reply. We did manage to book a table on arrival so all's well that ends well.

    located on the sea front of the Kyles of Bute. Lovely sunrise over Bute on the Saturday morning. Breakfast and evening meal all very good.

    All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the location was fantastic. As a rule we usually dine away from where we stay just to try different places, but the food was so good we ate there the entire time

    Lovely comfortable hotel. The staff were so helpful and welcoming.The breakfast was beautifully cooked and delicious. The fire was lit in the lobby which was lovely after a days walking and the room had a super outlook over the sea and was spotlessly clean and very comfy. I would recommend highly and hope to return for a winter break this year.

    The rooms need some TLC. Definitely a deep clean to remove stains on chairs and carpeting.

    The food!!! Creative, well presented, scrumptious. Ryan has a passion for creating meals to remember and he executes it perfectly. He uses fresh, local ingredients and his menu has a wide enough variety, there’s something for everyone. Our room was lovely and had a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable, water pressure was good and we found the hotel decently quiet. The Hotel has a small bar, with a good selection of spirits. Thank you to Ryan, Eleanor, Greg and staff for above and beyond hospitality. I would definitely go back…..only next time it would be a longer stay.

    Felt the dining room was very small and could have had table cloths for the evening set with wine glasses which may help customers to enjoy a more intimate environment and make a difference from a breakfast setting.

    Nice room with superb view on top floor. Bed was cosy and comfortable and plenty of hangers in wardrobe which makes a difference. Dressing robes and fluffy towels in bathroom and chairs placed at window to enjoy the view. Staff were friendly and chatty making you feel at home. Great choice of breakfast and fish for dinner was fresh and cooked to perfection. Portions on the very large side and chunky chips were too much for me. Would prefer a choice of French fries on the menu.

    We’ve been at the Royal an Lochan Hotel for three nights. It’s incredibly nice located. We’ve been at room number one and had a really nice view at the lake. The breakfast is absolutely fabulous. There is a buffet with fresh fruits, cereals, croissants and juices. Coffee is freshly made and we always drink ours with oat milk, which was no problem at all. You can also choose from a breakfast menu different egg specialities. They were all great. The dinner is also extremely good, we had different fish dishes and super delicious starters. Whenever you have an extra wish or a question they help you out. The staff is extremely nice, so we can highly recommend this little hotel and the restaurant. The area is also nice. We went for a hiking trip on one day and spent the other day at the beach.
