Positive Reviews

positive:

Staff are approachable and helpful.

No matter what request visitors might have, there’s no reason not to ask for assistance. Each staff member at the Ranald Hotel is down to earth and helpful, making sure guests enjoy their stay as much as possible.

positive:

Rooms are compact but comfortable.

With not a lot of space, the hotel has to make do with what it has to make guests comfortable. This results in guestrooms that are smaller than the standard accommodation, but they are clean and well maintained so guests can still easily relax.

positive:

The Ranald is a great basic hotel.

Many people who stay here regard the hotel as a basic accommodation, but not in a way that faults the property. Every need a traveller has is covered here, without the additional fluff other hotels add to drive up the price.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Parking nearby is a problem.

Parking is at a premium in Oban, and finding a space near the hotel is nearly impossible. There is some metered street parking outside of the accommodation, but the price of leaving a vehicle there during the day can be steep.

negative:

There’s no lift at this hotel.

The Ranald Hotel has guestrooms on three separate floors. While the hotel’s website states there isn’t a lift in the building, it doesn’t do an accurate job of portraying how steep the staircases are. Leaving the heavy luggage at home is wise when staying

negative:

Some people have a hard time finding the building.

Oban is a popular destination for tourists, which has resulted in there being a fair number of hotels to stay at. For people new to the area, it can be hard to tell one accommodation from the other. The Ranald Hotel doesn’t do itself any favours by having
