Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The sign says ensuite bathrooms however there is a sink in the room but shower/toilet is in the hall. There was one on every floor so if someone was using one, it was easy to find an open toilet. No elevator and I was on the top floor so that was rough. Clean and quiet,

Liked: Cleanliness
Good location. Nice room. Only issue is the mattress was old and not that comfortable
Good location and clean. However, the property had a bad odour, which resulted in us buying an air freshener.
Initial advert is misleading as it didn’t make it clear it was shared bathroom facilities.
Pillows very thin and poor quality.
Stayed for a night. Friendly staff. It's an older building but still in good condition. Rooms are small but comfortable and have everything you need. Shared bathroom was very clean. Convenient parking lot next door.
The guest house was comfortable and suited us well. It is a short walk into town, so location was good.
Breakfast was good - select your cooked options and buffet of cereals/toast etc.
Parking in Oban is clearly difficult. You could park in the car park right next to the hostel, although you have to pay £9 a day.
Prime reason for trip was to Cruise on the paddle Steamer Waverley 3 trips.
Danarle guest house was ideal for this as only 5 minute walk to North pier and 10 mins to railway pier and station
Guest house was extremely clean an comfortable
Really enjoyed our stay, bed was comfy and it was exactly what we needed for a night in Oban before getting the ferry. Loved that we were able to come and go as we pleased.
We stayed on the top floor where we had to share a bathroom and toilet with other rooms on the floor. That was a struggle because it was sometimes occupied when you needed to use either of the facilities.
The shower in the bathroom was broken. Water was leaking through the heater and barely any water from the shower head unless you use a finger to block the leak. Even then, the shower had barely any pressure. This made showering a frustrating experience for us, and I imagine for other guests as well.
Also, parking around the guesthouse is not free, so be prepared to pay for parking during your stay. I don't think that was something that was stated in the listing before we booked it, so that was a surprise.
Really great wee find & close to everything we needed. Not the usual place we'd stay but would definitely be back!

Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were clean but small, the beds were ok for comfort. The location was great. We were a bit disappointed with our stay .. from pictures when booking I seen a sink .. assumption was that we did indeed have an ensuite with our bedroom ... in actual fact all 8 rooms had SHARED BATHROOMS... just so that the next guests are prepared as that isn't as clear as it should be on the website. We were on the 3rd floor and it was quite a climb to the top for seniors so again .. just so people are aware of this. The third floor shared bathroom had the toilet with the shower .. the second floor bathroom was seperated. There were wait times to use the bathroom especially since the shower was a slow drizzle it took quite awhile to complete. I wouldnt recommend thus stay for seniors.
