Top Oban Hotel Reviews

Oban Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to town with a great view"

The Kelvin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The location is great access to all of downtown. The primary issue is that there is only one small elevator and for a number of rooms you still had to pull your suitcase up 10+ stairs as some rooms were basically between floors. There was a tour checking out when we were trying to depart and there was a queue for the one elevator which only held 2-3 people. The maid staff were also using this same small elevator to transport their cleaning carts to the floors."

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was conveniently located for the ferry and for all dining options and shopping in Oban. It was quite and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast was fortifying. It was showing signs of heavy use, but that did not detract from a good night's sleep before continuing our travels into the Hebrides."

Isle of Eriska Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our favorite place we stayed in the UK. It was amazing and i highly recommend a stay."
