“The Muthu Alexandra Hotel's commanding Oban Bay position certainly lives up to expectations, with rooms offering captivating sea views. Breakfast is a generous affair, featuring local touches like delicious brown bread, and the hotel's characterful Victorian charm is matched by genuinely friendly and helpful staff. While the heating can take a moment and hot water is more of a pleasant warmth, the overall appeal, especially the dining room's views, makes it a place I'd readily revisit.”
