    No lift, and a long way to walk between bedroom and dining room.

    The dining room staff were very friendly and well-trained, and the menu was very good. The shower facilities were excellent.

    The breakfast slots are fixed to 45 minutes and decided by staff which is quite silly.

    It was scenic stay perhaps one of the best.

    This hotel is mainly for coach tours so other guests are given dinner and breakfast times outside of when the restaurant is needed for the groups. No choice of different teas at breakfast. Felt a bit like part of a conveyor belt.

    Beautiful building. Fantastic views. Great pub across the road if you don't want to eat at the hotel.

    The parking facilities could have been better. I had to use the overspill car park on each of the 3 nights and there were only 3 spaces there. On my 2nd night after returning quite late there were no spaces available. I had to pull into the side and hope I would be ok there..

    Breakfast was very good. Staff were attentive and well mannered.

    Parking is tight. Quirky service for dinner and breakfast. Hotel is a little old and could do with a refurb.

    The hotel was quirky and is obviously focused on the guests who travel by bus. parking is a little tight with cars scattered all over the grass, yellow lines, etc. Dinner is pretty good value if you add it on. Breakfast was a little odd in that it was table service and if you were just looking for cooked, you have to wait on all the other guests getting served cereal. All in, pretty good value, quirky hotel with nice staff. Entertainment every night is a good thing, but we had one that worked and one that was less good. Scenery is amazing!

    Parking is very limited as the coaches take priority.

    Location was fantastic the room we had was overlooking loch Awe couldn't get better. Hotel caters for coach parties so dinner times are allocated when you book your dinner at the reception desk on arrival. Train station at the hotel access by steps for the train to Oban.

    Bathroom fan was too loud; next door room left the bathroom fan on all night, it was so loud I couldn’t sleep at all ; breakfast was a disaster; we asked for full English breakfast and received one sausage, one egg , one slice of bacon and half of tomato; had to wait ages for burnt toast and coffee was a horrible cheap instant coffee; when we asked for some beans we received nothing

    Great location, beautiful scenery

    Loch Awe Hotel is probably one of the most beautiful places we've ever had the pleasure to stay at. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Live Performance was a welcome hit and hotel is just across the road from a really nice pub which was an added bonus!

    It’s on the coach tours circuit so designed for high volume throughput with mimimim fuss so be prepared for a bit of cattle-herding if you’re a solo traveller!

    Great location for exploring Ben Cruachan, fantastic bath in the room, super friendly staff and a little wharf for a cheeky (illicit) loch swim…

    Our room was extremely small, hard to manage a case with so little room, the breakfast is not up to much, husband not impressed with the powdered scrambled eggs. Didn’t have an issue with the coach trips, met some lovely people.

    Great old hotel, loads of character, fabulous views of the loch. Plenty of parking, friendly staff, well informed and helpfull.

    The English breakfast would not feed a mouse .. just not enough.. I don't normally but glad I took a cereal first .. the music at night after been set up was only on for an hour which meant just as you are starting to enjoy it they stop.. the lady at front desk when we arrived was beyond rude.. after asking if we could get in a little bit earlier as I was feeling unwell .i have diabetes... NO its 4 o'clock you can go across the road to eat until then ..Rude

    The location was beautiful,, the rooms were what u pay for.. clean and tidy.. the staff in the dining area were all lovely and attentive, nice having thr music at night .

    Our bed was too hard - but would suit those who prefer a hard bed. The breakfast times were insane (considering this is a hotel, not a training facility) - you are allocated a breakfast time - ours was 8am - far too early for us. We asked if it was possible to change and the other sitting was 6.45am! This is apparently due to the coach tours but was not ideal. The evening food was school dinner style from the 80s - soup/egg mayo to start, meat and potatoes for main and chocolate sponge with chocolate custard for dessert - as an example. Aimed at the (generally older) people on the coach trips I assume. We were asked at every point if we were “booking.com” and in the restaurant had to wait to be seated by the manageress, for reasons not divulged. Staff were really nice though.

    Amazing location- right on the loch. Our room had a view overlooking the loch, the views from the public rooms were beautiful. The room was spacious, the bathroom was nice, shower hot with good pressure. Staff really friendly and helpful. Evening meal price for 3 courses was very reasonable at £17.50. Breakfast was nice.
