The Pierrooms
6/10 Okay
"The room was clean and the bed comfortable, though so high off the floor that my friend had to use a desk chair to climb in to bed (she also complained that the toilet was too high for comfort). Had there been two people in the room one would have had to climb over the other to use the facilities.The rooms have no natural light and the air conditioning/heating cannot be set below 18C at night. In short, a triumph of trendy design over utility. If following satnav to find the property you go through the barrier for the station and are then charged £12 for a part of the day if it takes in excess of 30 minutes to locate the building and unload. You need a smartphone to access your room (in which is a door key). 24 hour parking by the Premier Inn a couple of streets away is £7.50 (not £5 as stated on the parking leaflet in the stand by the main entry). No food on premises but a Wetherspoon's is nextdoor. Plenty of other places to eat in Oban that are competitively priced."
Premier Inn Oban
8/10 Good
"Be aware, you have to pay for parking."
The Royal Hotel
6/10 Okay
"Very difficult to move around the bathroom, the door hit the side of the bath when opened from the bedroom. We had reserved a dog friendly room, fortunately, we have a small dog because there was very little room for his crate. I suspect we were given a less adequate room, ( adjacent rooms I viewed had a better layout) because the hotel was catering for large groups and we were staying just one night. This was despite the fact that I booked it months ago."
The Ranald Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Good hotel with comfortable rooms. Very good breakfast, pleasant and helpful staff. No lift, however, or car park. Five minute walk to railway station, bus station and Calmac ferries."
Muthu Oban Regent Hotel
6/10 Okay
"The hotel is functional, a bit dated looking from the outside, better inside but the shower in our room was not fit for purpose. Decent food but the menu is very limited. Parking is virtually non existent but the street parking is free after 6pm until 9am."
The Scot
8/10 Good
"The room was clean. The bathroom has been renovated with good shower pressure. However, the beds were quite uncomfortable. Note that there is no elevator on the premises - not a big deal for us but that may not be the case for everyone. Lastly, the breakfast is overpriced. I would probably go out if I were to return. At 15 pounds each, that converts to just under $30 can. Even in overpriced Toronto, that’s expensive."
The Kelvin Hotel
8/10 Good
"While the decor needed a little upkeep (painters cauk eg) the location and facilities were good for a few days stay. Great views of the ferry port and couldn’t be handier for ferry/ train/bus anywhere"
Perle Oban Hotel & Spa
8/10 Good
"Very good accommodation in excellent central location. Good service from pleasant staff Let down a little by room heating not able to be controlled from individual room without intervention from reception. Room not made available at agreed time "
The Whisky Vaults
4/10 Poor
"We are now back at home after our trip. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the Whisky Vaults but the most positive thing was that the bed was comfortable. 1. Staying for 2 days but the room was not serviced. 2. Breakfast, in a brown bag appeared on the first day only. 3. Thanks to Connor, who took an item of luggage upstairs. There was no lift and the back stairs were a challenge to my wife who is waiting for an ankle operation. 4. I would not be in a hurry to recommend the Whisky Vaults. Certainly not worth £366 for 2 nights."
