A unique hotel in Oban with great service and facilities making our stay in Oban unforgettable. The Grill room is second

Pros: Staff and service was superb. The Grill room food was amazing and the spa facilities a touch of class.

Cons: Room was a little dusty in certain areas but other than that it was spotless.

Ray 10/10

Pros: Staff were exceptional, so friendly and helpful, going out their way to stop for a little chat. Room was very nice and well stocked with coffee, various teas and biscuits. We were fortunate to have a sea view, watching the boats go by, wonderful. Food is excellent and breakfast was amazing with so much to choose from.

Cons: Unfortunately, lack of parking. This can't be helped as the hotel is on the main road and no space behind. You can use a free car park a 2 minute walk away so not too much hassle.

A warm, comfortable stay with wonderful staff, a spotless spacious room, and a delicious breakfast — made even more memo

Pros: I had a really lovely stay at Oban Bay Hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and couldn’t have been more helpful — especially when my dog injured her tail on the door. They were so kind and attentive, which really meant a lot. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with all facilities working well. The only small thing I missed was having a fridge in the room. I only had breakfast at the hotel, but it was absolutely delicious with a great selection to choose from. Overall, a great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. 🐾✨

Cons: N/A

Beautiful hotel and staff

Pros: We booked this at 9:30 pm at night due to weather and camping issues. We arrived and were warmly welcomed. Room was beautiful and spotless. Our deal included breakfast and this was honestly outstanding. Beautiful food and attentive staff. £98 for a last minute deal with breakfast, not one single complaint from me ! Fully recommend the hotel and the view is also beautiful. The bed was also like a cloud !

Cons: Not one thing
