Top Oban Hotel Reviews

The Kelvin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good"

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had room 109 and it looked out over the water and the lively street but was very quiet. The shower was amazing as were the products. The coffee and tea and snacks were delicious. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and dark! We didn’t get to explore the hotel at all since we were just there overnight but we would gladly stay there again if we are lucky enuf to return to Oban. What a great little town and a great hotel experience!"

Oban Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great very friendly,service great"

Muthu Oban Regent Hotel

8/10 Good

"Despite how it looks on the outside, this is a very nice hotel. The outside looks rough and needs some attention, but our room was lovely. If you have heavy luggage, be aware that you have to bring it up several stairs to reach the lobby (there is no ramp or lift - the stairs are the only way). The breakfast was good, the people were pleasant, and the amenities were fine. The standout feature of this hotel is the location. Oban is a really lovely town and this hotel is right across from the harbor."

Isle of Eriska Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

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