What a beautiful location and a beautiful view! I had a Seaview room and could have sat for hours looking out the window. The bed was big and comfortable. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub where the staff was incredibly accommodating to our large party. Breakfast was good as well with plenty of options. There was a parking lot in back, which, luckily we got the last two spots for. There was a treat, along with the coffee maker, which always raises my opinion of a hotel!

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.

Oban is an absolutely beautiful coastal town with great access to the rest of the Highlands. The ferries were very easy to use and we had a wonderful time exploring the Isle of Mull and travelling past the Isle of Kerrera on the way. Also make sure to head towards Dunollie Castle and take the tour round - a great time if you enjoy history or stories of the clans.
All of the food establishments that we went to were delicious and had great options. Highly recommend the ceilidh dancing on a Monday and Thursday night as it was a cracking time.

Oban is on a very pretty bay.
Oban is on a very pretty bay. It was really busy on a beautiful Saturday and the people were friendly and helpful. Coasters and EE-usk accepted us for food/drinks with no reservations!
We did not get there early enough to explore the attractions.
The train station and ferry terminal were very efficient and helpful.
We discovered a choir and orchestra concert which was a real treat!

Oban is a delightful seaside town that offers very good restaurants, shopping (small shops with nice merchandise) and the ability to enjoy the beauty of the bay and all of its activity. Oban makes a great base for exploring the area of walks/hikes, going out on small boat short duration trips to see wildlife, lots of castles to visit or to take the ferry out to the islands. Taxi service is plentiful as are private tour guides.

A fabulous town with plenty of opportunities for boat trips to islands near and distant with awesome views. A photographers paradise.
The town has plenty to see and do with lots of great pubs and restaurants.
Something for everyone and very popular all year round.
Beautiful Victorian building right on the waterfront which is always spectacular in Oban. Despite the reviews we booked last minute for a break away just 40 minutes from home and we were not let down. Whilst for the price I do not expect this to be like other hotels we use worldwide but it was clean, comfortable, warm, shower and bathroom were great, parking right outside and we walked into town for dinner, drinks and some live music. Staff were courteous, polite and fun. Did not eat or drink with them but everything else no complaints
Lovely hotel in a great location. Friendly staff provided a speedy check in and I got a lovely upgrade. The room had everything you needed. Bathroom was perfect too although it was a shower over the bath which may not suit everyone if mobility was an issue. It was lovely and quiet at night, no corridor noise etc. breakfast was very good and again everything was clean and well presented. Staff were lovely on check out, showing concern as to whether your stay had been good. This is where I would stay when returning to Oban again.
This is a very nice family style hotel with great views of the water. Room was comfortable, nice bathroom and a walkout balcony with a table and chairs and a terrific view of the water and bridge. Very quiet. They are located about 12 min. from Oban and an ideal location for us. Oban can be a bit hectic. Breakfasts were absolutely wonderful with a wide variety of choices and fixed to order. We ate 2 evening meals in the dinning room and they were delicious. The dinning room looks out over a beautiful lawn and water.
This is the best hotel I have stayed in, in Oban. It was modern, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.
I liked the breakfast very much - french toast with maple syrup. The location was ideal for me - about five minutes walk from the railway station (and ferry terminal), and also five minutes from the Tesco supermarket, and near the main street of the town.
We picked up the keys for the apartment from the main hotel reception desk. The Apartments are just down the road from the hotel next to a fantastic hardware shop. Our apartment was on the top floor with views over Oban. The apartments are extremely well finished, and very well equipped. Parking is in the street, on a meter, its free overnight 6pm-9am.
This hotel is in centre of Oban, close to shops, bus routes, train. Beautiful harbour nearby with ferry links.
Bedroom was very good size, clean linen each day, tea/coffee making facility with bonus Tunocks teacake each day.
Lovely breakfast each morning,
Very friendly staff.Bar facility available.
Place was spotlessly clean.
The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem for them the decor of the hotel was beautiful and very clean we will definitely stay again .we had lovely weather for our stay so enjoyed the beautiful scenery the fish platter at the ee-usk restaurant was just so fresh and delicious can't wait for our next visit to Oban.
We had a fantastic one night stay at the Oban Bay Hotel and we chose it due to it being dog friendly, and it most certainly was. The staff were all excellent, very friendly and attentive and the hotel facilities were fantastic. I especially liked the complimentary caramel wafer in the room, sublime!
This hotel was wonderful! We enjoyed it so much. The owners even left a whisky tasting for us from nearby Oban distillery as well as crisps and sodas. The view out the front windows was fantastic. The size of the rooms was very large. We would definitely highly recommend!!!
Very well situated just across from the train station, bus stop and ferry, large hotel so many rooms to choose from also close to the central shopping area of Oban. They will look after your bags if you arrive before check in time and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Neat apartment; well designed and equipped Really comfy bed, and kitchen, sitting and dining furniture all very practical.
Easy to check in and out via the nearby Ranald Hotel. Really central; a short walk to the centre of town and the shore.
Traditional country house style hotel. Excellent staff who met our every need. Comfortable bed room and public rooms. Excellent food. One of a few hotels in Oban that has sufficient parking to ensure every room has a parking space.
The Staff were extremely helpful, especially Pamela from Thailand, despite being very busy and understaffed. The Pool was great, and the lounge was very comfortable.The Hotel location was ideal, 5 minutes to the center of OBAN.
