Top Oban Hotel Reviews

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"
