Top Oban Hotel Reviews

The Kelvin Hotel

8/10 Good

"We wanted a traditional small town hotel and this filled the bill"

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room clean but in need of a paint touch up and carpet cleaning. Lift broken on arrival day. Property can use a refreshing. Room view was as pictured on site. Bedding very comfortable. Suggest two luggage racks. Appears others have used and scratched the cocktail table. Breakfast was well done, dinner needs to be booked - do so before arrival if an early time is required. Would be nice to have tablecloths at dinner. Bar made a good cocktail. Great location."

Oban Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely night away the thermal experience was great too!"

Isle of Eriska Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was perfect. The staff is amazing. The property itself is gorgeous. Felt like we were being pampered and cared for the whole time. Had dinner at The Deck and that was wonderful also. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night. Would love to return and spend more time there."
