    The decor could use a little updating.

    We selected King's Knoll because the hotel had parking and we were taking an early morning ferry to Mull. The location was an easy walk to restaurants and sights. The room was pleasant and clean with a lovely view. We did not order the breakfast box but did have a drink in the lounge area, which also had a nice view of the harbor.

    The bathroom was a converted wardrobe with a basin in the top of the toilet cistern. That meant there was nowhere to put anything and you had to lean over the toilet to access the sink. Weird. Unfortunately no food options either at the hotel.

    The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable and shower excellent. The staff were helpful.

    A great place to locate oneself to explore the beautiful area of Oban.

    The location is right off the road, making it easy to find, and only a short walk from the bay so we didn't have to drive. The room was very comfortable, and the staff very informative. Upon arrival, they saw our vehicle and let us park in a different spot than normal. They also were helpful with getting our luggage to our room. While there is no kitchen at this hotel, they do have a bar/social area. We just stayed out a little late and it was closed when we returned. The recommendation for a place to eat was well received and very much enjoyed.

    The room was far better than we had anticipated, although the bed could have been comfier.

    We found it a bit strange to not meet any reception staff, but it wasn't a problem. The bed wasn't the comfiest, but ok.

    Location just right for us, close to ferry terminal, but far enough away to be nice and quiet. The overnight stay at Kings Knoll meant we could travel home in the daylight the next day instead of straight after the late ferry back from Colonsay.

    On suite facility in the room we're on the small side. Did not like the wash basin position at the back of the toilet and incorporated in with the toilet cistern.

    Handy for one night then off early to catch a ferry.

    Signage from the north side needs to be more prominent and advise not to drive past, as return is difficult.

    The room was large and bright, with a fantastic view of the harbour, just as advised on the web site!
