Best hotels & accommodations in Oban
I was in Oban for a couple of nights to try and get the feel of the countryside in the Highlands. Royal hotel is very aptly situated if you are planning to travel by bus. The buses stop and start just next to the hotel and this makes the location perfect, not-to-mention the town's main street is just next to the hotel on 5 minute walk. My only concern was that the wi...
Impressive building both inside and out. Set menu dinner with choice of 3 main courses. Good breakfast. Very heavy bulky dining room chairs, not easy for the elderly to move. Avoid bedrooms over the bar area if you want to sleep before midnight. Singer every night in bar . Rooms at the front have beautiful view of Oban bay.
This is a lovely hotel beautifully situated on the seafront. We had a newly renovated room overlooking the water. Thee staff were friendly and helpful at all times, and the breakfast was good. There is ample parking at the front and rear of the building. It easy to walk into the centre of the town from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for...
Good location on front, very limited parking for the hotel, but not far from free out of season car park. Hot tub was not available and sounded like this might be the case for a while.
All hotels in town were fully booked. Although room was not ensuite, toilet was well maintained and beds were comfy.
check in was only at 4, quite late from our experience. Rooms haven't been updated since about the 70s, which is kinda quirky and cool, but not when you are paying close to 100 pounds. Carpet in room sticky, bed terribly uncomfortable, luckily the sea view helped, but not much...Staff quite abrupt and unwilling to really help. Breakfast is basi and dietary requirement...
Our stay at Corran House was fantastic. Our room was a nice size with a beautiful view. The bathroom was large and immaculate, and hot water was always plentiful (bonus!) The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and we felt quite welcome there. Having the kitchen available for guest use was a wonderful resource. Clean, open and inviting, it was nice to have the o...
We really enjoyed our stay, on arrival the staff were helpful and friendly, this continued throughout the stay. When l ran our of milk for a drink in the room and asked in the bar for a couple of milks, l was given 12. I couldn't fault the staff and the breakfast were very filling and tasty. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Oban, it has a bar whre the ...
Very enjoyable, wish everywhere was ran as well as this couple do! Would recommend to a friend, only negative was bed and floor a bit creaky but to be expected in an old house! Would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay as this was different to what we have been used to. The staff are friendly and the room was comfortable as well. The breakfast was a wonderful addition to our stay.
Best sgt!
Hotel in a great location, clean and presentable rooms, helpful staff, great breakfast... excellent value for money
No where near clean. Toilet and bath is a mess, there was only 2 out of 6 bath available when Im there. Others are on maintenance.
Pros - best location, awesome view if you have harbor view, good food selection, very clean, and TV has lots of selections. Staff is diligent and helpful. Cons-breakfast typically extra cost but good portion size, must not be allergic to perfumes or scents (heavily scented place), bed is difficult to sleep on, and internet very intermittent in room.
The host, Carol was pleasant in welcoming us. Very homely setting. Loved the courtesy whisky and sherry; warm you up on a cold night. Breakfast was lovely with free helping to the various fruits. Would have felt more comfortable if the lock to our room was working.
Great place to stay and very close to shops and restaurants.
Thought the owner would share some more information about Oban and inn.
Parking is free, arrive early if you have a car. Absolutely beautiful hostel. I had a bay view from my bed. - the water pressure on all the taps are really high. I can laugh about it now but, the water from the shower created a wind current that blew my clothes off of the hook and into the water on the floor of the shower.
The location and views make it worth the pain on the hills and the stairs associated with this place. The owners were very engaging and had a lot of local knowledge.
Space and cleanliness was ok. Car park is a bit too small. Nice view from the room. Staff's accent was a bit hard to understand. I was went there in a group of 5. We asked for an extra bed because we want to stay in the same room but the staff said not available due to the size of the room can not put any extra bed and told us to open another more room. We was ok at th...
Small double room. Quiet and conveniently located within 10-15 min walk to town centre. Bed was squeaky so sleep was interrupted but overall it was okay for our short 1-night stay in Oban.
Our room was very spacious with a lovely view over Oban Bay. Plenty of breakfast choice. Mark, the owner, was extremely helpful and went the extra mile. Highly recommend.
Three of us stopped in at the guest house on our way to Skye. Staff were incredibly friendly and gave us a couple of recommendations for dinner. The room was very clean, and well presented. Wifi was great too. Will return if we come back to Oban.
Lovely little boutique hotel in Oban with excellent Scottish hospitality
Very friendly and attentive, breakfast was very good and very plentiful. Room was comfortable and quiet with excellent facilities.
Location the best. Beautiful views from our bedroom. Huge room and bathroom. Bed was so comfortable. We had a room downstairs which had water views. Staff were so friendly and so helpful. Really a fantastic stay in every respect. Highly recommend to everyone.
the place has loads of potential, but is worn and thrown together. The mattresses were very tired. The were only bath towels not hand towel or a face cloth. The tiny bathroom had a sink that was so tiny that you could not put water in the tea kettle provided in the room. There was not a luggage rack or surfaces to open our two carry-on sized suitcases. We did get good ...
On a recent tour of Scotland this was the most expensive place we stayed in for a poky room with a shared bathroom and barely enough space for two suitcases. The breakfast was good but not as good as we had had the previous day in a well known chain of hotels advertised on TV by Lenny Henry, which not only has more space and friendlier staff but also costs 30 GBP per r...
The room is very clean and Michael, his wife and Anne? are very friendly and helpful. They even washed my clothes for free and dried my hiking shoes. The breakfast was very delicious. The place is just few minutes away from the main street and to the station it's about 10 min. walk. I would definitely stay there again.
Quiet location within easy walking distance to the ferry or train, or downtown Oban. Comfortable, clean room that was larger than we expected. Bathroom clean with toiletries provided. Friendly host- we arrived before check-in but were warmly welcomed and admitted to our room Our group comprised one mature adult and one young adult. No problems with WiFi.

Reception staff very surly and not welcoming . Front of house is the first and last impression . Breakfast poor. Although good selection of cold and cooked ,the hog food was dry and had been sitting for a while I guess . Coffee was cold but tea was hot .

Perfectly newly furnished room, nice garden, good breakfast

Host Thomas very friendly and welcoming. Room and en suite have everything you would need. Excellent breakfast room and food choices, highlighting local produce

Traveler impressions of Oban
Every Oban visitor should eat at the Seafood Shack/Hut on the ferry terminal pier at least once. The best value-for-money seafood you can find anywhere and I have lived/worked in over 50 countries during my 50 years of working life.
