Oban Bay Hotel & Spa  

Located just out of the town centre but within easy walking distance, and a view to die for. The staff are friendly and welcoming, but perhaps a little over worked - the lovely young receptionist also had to look after the bar (they would do more business if they staffed the bar) and she was there again serving breakfast in the morning. Our room was small and basic but as it was in the old building at the front we had a the best view over the sea. The food was excellent both at dinner and breakfast. If we are in Oban again we would stay here again.

The lack of staff on the bar made it a hasstle to order drinks or coffee and tea and as we arrived mid afternoon we could not get any food as the chef finished at 2.30pm. After a 6 hour drive the last thing we wanted to do was search for a place to get a light lunch.

Very comfortable Hotel. Staff were very friendly. Good location easy walking distance to main town.

A Fawlty Towers experience. Spa facilities - steamroom not operating hot tube Luke warm. Hotel old smelly creaked. Big argument with barman re 1st & only drink . Breakfast fruit, toast & scrambled eggs inedible. And expensive.

Quite good food. Good location

Booked late and had almost last room which was very small as was shower room. Poor lighting in room meant that one was unable to see contents of wardrobe.

Courteous staff at reception and in the dining room. Makes all the difference!

I did book a single room. Was quite small but cosy and comfortable enough. Would have preferred if the room had been bigger.

Friendliness of staff, efficient, quick check in.

Meal portions small

The peaceful and quite relaxing feeling it had. Also sitting in the lounge overlooking the bay. The use of the steam and sauna was really good.

It was convenient and comfortable enough

Room was very small, corridors to reach it with luggage were narrow

I liked the friendliness of the staff, the relaxed green, wood and leather public rooms. The old photos on the wall of life in Oban a long time back were found in the hotel attic, and give excellent original atmosphere to a seafront hotel. The hotel is right on Oban Bay.

Parking is a problem in all the beachfront hotels in Oban, there isn't enough space. The hotel will valet park for you, if you cannot find the nearby long term car park. The various individual spa rooms all lie along the main corridor to the rear wing rooms, and this main access corridor was frequently wet, potentially slippy, and had yellow warning signs posted.

The hotel is very easy to get to from the rail station. This is a plus, especially if you don't have a car.

The woman at the front desk didn't know much about the area and wasn't able to give much information about what to do or see.

No soap or shampoo in room. Accident in en suite. My partner slipped on 'non - slip' mat in bath. Bump on head, severe bruising under left arm, bruised rib & attached muscle. No visit from manager to investigate or show concern. Breakfasts 'sparse': i.e. one miserly slice of bacon.

The location and delightful ambience of the lounge and its view of the bay. The helpfullness of the staff.

Good location about 5/10 mins walk from piers and shops etc. Breakfast was very good as was dinner. Awesome views from sun lounge at front of hotel. Free WIFI in all of hotel and not chargeable as indicated on this website. Room was comfortable although decor a bit tired and could do with a spruce up.

I think a little too expensive at £80 B+B for single room. Window in room had very obvious crack but when I reported they seemed unaware..The staff seem stretched especially in restaurant where courses were served in very quick succession. Had to go look for someone to serve me at bar couple of times. I think some work could be done in customer care.
