Oban is a beautiful city. We really needed to stay 3 nights to experience all of it.

Location was ideal with only a few minute's walk to the town centre. No frills but we had everything we needed for a one night stay.

Arbour B&B is exactly what you would expect for the price in Oban. Facilities are very cramped indeed, shower pressure not entirely predictable and capable of entertaining moods but it worked, the place though slightly shabby had been cleaned very well and the bedding was absolutely fine. Service from the busy staff was very polite and to the point and if pressed a smile was possible.

Ranald

They left a key for a late arrival. The beds were comfortable. Tea making facility.

Lucy

Nothing. This woman should not be allowed to do B & B. Worst I have ever been in. She did not turn up until 1 hour after our check in time. She has three adjoining houses. Ours had no wifi . TV did not work but she got it going at 7.30 pm. Had to pay for street parking until 6 pm. Had the nerve to charge 97pounds for this.

This is the worst place I’ve stayed. You can get a decent Bed and Breakfast in the Lakes with a lovely room and breakfast included for £85. We paid £75. There were cigarette burns on the desk in the room and it wasn’t big enough to swing a cat. Never again !!

Set in a large Victorian house, Arbor Guest House is located close to Oban Town Center, less than 20 minutes walk from Oban Ferry Terminal and Train Station. Free Wi-Fi is available in some rooms.

The bright and airy bedrooms are individually decorated, retaining many original Victorian features, and each has a TV and tea/coffee facilities. Some rooms have private bathrooms, while others have access to shared facilities.

Arbor Guest House is very close to the Town Center and many local amenities are close by. The Atlantis Leisure Center, The Corran Halls, tennis courts, McCaigs Tower, the Cathedral and local Cinema are all within easy walking distance. The guest house is also conveniently located for buses, trains and ferries.

Parking is available in the street, and the pay and display car park at the end of the road which is free between 18:00 and 09:00.

This is our guests' favorite part of Oban, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

Noisy guests house, it is a very old guests house, you hear all at night, when others go to the bathroom, when the others come back and open their doors... very very noisy. After that We was unlucky cause the other guests early in the morning had a lot of noises, They don't respect the others guests in the house.
Clean and comfortable bed

The wee shared lavvie on the top floor is physically tricky to get in and out of for the taller man.
Arbour B&B is exactly what you would expect for the price in Oban. Facilities are very cramped indeed, shower pressure not entirely predictable and capable of entertaining moods but it worked, the place though slightly shabby had been cleaned very well and the bedding was absolutely fine.

A bathroom shared by 11 people is not great. Wet towels on floor, did not feel good. It doesnt warrant the price point. If I had realised how many people used the bathroom I would not have booked it.
They left a key for a late arrival. The beds were comfortable. Tea making facility.
