Room was great size and had everything we needed including iron and ironing board. Very clean. Loved that we didn’t have to bring our own shampoo etc as all provided. It was warm the weekend we had and there was already a fan provided in the room.

Every comfort you might need and more. Our room was above the kitchen so was a little noisy up until 10.30. We did ask to be moved which was accomplished. Staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay better.

A level 15 min walk from town, 26 is a small elegant and stylishly decorated hotel. It feels opulent and was very clean and comfortable. Everything there felt special and we were treated professionally by an excellent staff. Our room had a fabulous sea view and an exceptional luxury bathroom. Breakfast was excellent in an open kitchen restaurant with a view of the chef at work. Service there also first class. All diets are catered for, including vegan and gluten free.

Beautiful location in Oban right on water and promenda. Lovely room overlooking harbor with wonderful sunset. Resturant was excellant for dinner and breakfast. Very nice sitting area or sit outside with views. Staff was very attentive and fun (she did great Baileys and coffee!). Recommend scallops and ravioli duck dishes. Short walk to Oban along promenade.

Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.
The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.
Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.
Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.
As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

We only stayed one night but Oban is a great gateway with a hotel to suit all travellers. We had the best fish and chips at Oban F&C, a friendly welcome, and Enjoyed a level walk around the town. It’s a large port with plenty of facilities. We look forward to returning one day to explore it further

Oban is a smashing town to have a few days break in, and if you wish to stay longer, then you can access the Cal-mac ferry to take you island hopping.
It's full of decent shops, bars and restaurants

great position on promenade ,near enough to town but out of hub hub.
A couple of short walks nearby to castle and small picturesque beach. The bathroom in the petite double was good but might be awkward for larger person.Excellent seafood at EE usk and several other places. Mussels were very good.

Oban is a lovely town full of friendly people.
Oban is a lovely town full of friendly people. It is the best location to explore the outer Hebrides. Plenty of comfortable hotels and great restaurants. And of course cozy pubs! It seems that everywhere you go there is a spectacular view of the port. We were there in March 2025 which is still quiet but I am told it is crazy busy in the summer months so book ahead. The Caledonian McBrayne ferry service was top notch. If you are taking your car on the ferry, book well in advance. It is a stunning part of Scotland and indeed the world. The day trip to the Isle of Mull was a stand out. There is a bus which meets the ferry and takes you up to Tobermory - a joyful, picturesque little town with great restaurants and a couple of pubs. I highly recommend a small tucked away restaurant called Bistro on the Brae with fresh off the boat seafood and a daily blackboard menu. The best scallops I’ve ever eaten.

Good location and while not on the sea front, only one street back and within walking distance of everything in the centre of Oban. Good comfortable bar and they have an arrangement with a fabulous restaurant called 'Coast' where we ate and were able to inform us when our table was ready. Decor in the room was nice and bed was comfortable. Fabulous rain shower and free parking at the rear of the hotel.
Stayed overnight in a very comfortable and quiet room, and left at 5.30am for work the following day. Leaving the key by the main door and exiting was not a problem at all. Staff the previous night very friendly. Bar area comfortable. A lovely boutique hotel in central Oban, and only 5 minutes walk to the Calmac ferry terminal.
Perfect set up for us with a small toddler, the apartments gave us a bit more space than just having a hotel room. Great location in the middle of Oban.
