FAQs about hotels in Oban





Gateway to the Inner Hebrides

Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.

The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.

Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.

Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.

As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

    i went at new year hoping to find a ceilidh on somewhere without success i went to the coreyvrecken wotherspoons for my meals which was also first class. what i would avoid on my next visit would be tescos £5.25p breakfasts. i ordered the breakfast with a cup of tea the teapot was out of a dolls house and the cup was like a soup bowl. i also got two slice of toast with butter full cost £8.65p i went back and queried the price and they said it was right. £1.90p for the dolls house teapot £1.50 FOR 2 SLICE OF TOAST WITH BUTTER and £5.25 for the breakfast a total of £8.65 a shear rip off. in wotherspoons i got the same for £7.04p but with a huge mug for your tea and as many refills as you like first class. i tried to see the tescos manager but he wasn't there in this day and age £1.50 for 2 slice of toast a whole loaf only costs £1.30 hope you can take it up with tesco

    Oban is the gateway to the islands so lots of ferries operating here and plenty of choices for other places to visit while staying in Oban. There are lots of shops and restaurants within a few minutes walking distance and plenty of fantastic views to be had along the esplanade. All in all a great place to visit.

    The seafood was absolutely amazing, went to two seafood restaurants one on the jetty @ the ferry terminal ( The Waterfront Fishouse)and one on the north pier ( Ee-usk ), both restaurants food were fabulous. If like me you like a Guinness then go to the Oban Inn for a nice pint of the black stuff. We stayed out of town at Benderloch before our only night in Oban, we booked a room at The Scot hotel. This was a nice and central stay with the shops, bars and restaurants in close proximity. Will most probably be back to experience more that Oban and the surrounding area has to offer.

    Room was comfortable and quiet. Window opened for plenty of air and a pretty garden view. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of pillows, as well as an additional throw blanket in case of chill. Bathroom was immaculate, good sized shower. It was exactly what we wanted for our stay, a reasonably priced, nicely comfortable room. And the breakfast for the additional charge was really worth it! We stayed at a 4 star hotel in Glasgow the night previously, and the Maridon House breakfast was better and cost less than half!

    Being on your own always means a small room, but it was comfortable and provided what I needed. The hotel's cleanliness was great and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast cost a little extra on my booking but was excellent and served up speedily. The location is good, slightly away from the often crowded centre but still near enough, and with an excellent view overlooking Oban bay with glorious sunsets while I was there,

    Corrimar made us like Oban.The room was clean, big and with big windows open to a fantastic sea-view. It’s only 10-15 mins walk to the city centre along the seaside. We are not fuzzy about breakfast. The restaurant in Oban Bay Hotel a few blocks away totally satisfied our crave for good food. To us, Corrimar House is perfect. We will definitely come back.

    Being a premier hotel in Oban it does cost more. The fact that you are just yards from the train, bus and ferry terminal make it a prime location. It does have a spa but I didn't have the spare time to use any of them.
