Top Oban Hotel Reviews

The Kelvin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and nice overnight stay, convenient to early ferry next morning. Quiet also"

No17 The Promenade

8/10 Good

"Excellent boutique hotel. Welcome was fantastic. The Indian lady on reception was very welcoming. Unusual interaction with the waitress the following morning. Scolded for being 30 mins late for the time we said we would be down for breakfast. Told to sit at any table, chose a four seater. Was then asked to move to a cramped two seater, all of the four seater tables were available throughout the breakfast service. Very bizarre. Would stay again now we are prepared for the eccentric staff member."

Ardtorna

8/10 Good

"A pleasant property, though not quite the experience we expected The inn is a lovely, well-presented property and it is clear that considerable care has gone into maintaining high standards. However, we felt that the overall experience did not quite match our expectations of a five-star stay. The welcome was somewhat formal, and we would have appreciated a little more warmth and friendliness. There are also house rules which, while understandable, felt rather strict and perhaps took away slightly from the relaxed atmosphere one might hope for when staying at an inn. Overall, the property itself is attractive and well cared for, but for us the hospitality did not quite reach the level suggested by its five-star rating."

Corran House Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely and the view was amazing"

The Scot

8/10 Good

"The room at the Scott was clean and comfortable. Location was very convenient and walkable to much of what Oban has to offer. It was the only property we stayed at during our highland tour that charged for parking. The only other minor inconvenience was we had to negotiate a couple flights of stairs to get to our room."

Isle of Eriska Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel, in an incredible location. Lovey stay, made to feel very welcome."

Muthu Alexandra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very kindly, good brekfeast."

Oyster Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, nice meal in the evening and nice breakfast"

The Pierrooms

10/10 Excellent

"A little tricky to find as it’s under the restaurant, however it’s exactly as described small but perfectly formed. Check in is easy, any issues are resolved by ringing the contact number. Clean and very comfortable. Would use again and will definitely recommend."
