4.4 / 5 4.4 / 5 Janis [musselburgh, GB] on 11/11/2009 (Same sex couple)

The hotel was basic but clean, comfortable, excellent value for money and in a very good location for getting into town. The staff were really nice and friendly and the wee bar was good for a nightcap or two with games (scrabble, trivial pursuit, etc) and books available.

None really - my bed squeaked quite badly but apart from that, no problems.

Overall: If you're looking for a good value for money hotel in an excellent location this is the one for you.  (108174012)

Clean room, good location near ferries

The most expensive place (out of seven) that I stayed at during my tour of Scotland, the only one where some form of breakfast was not included in the base price. Badly worn carpet on stairs.

Overall: Adequate, since all hotels and B&B's that I could find on the internet in Oban were either already booked (in June for a September stay!) or even more expensive.  (107631178)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
