The Great Western Hotel
The Great Western Hotel is now returning to "great"in every way. Really enjoyed my recent stay. You will not find a better location than this centre piece of Oban bay.

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa
Close to the action, old world character with newer amenities, a bar attached, and breakfast on-site available. Elevator was a plus.

The Royal Hotel
My husband was locked in the bathroom due to a faulty door lock and had to be freed by staff. I also reported a wall light fitting hanging loosely from the bedroom wall. Very worrying lack of maintenance and safety checks.

The Ranald Apartments
Good location in town central to everything. Spacious room, but a little noisy due to hard floors in unit above. Kitchenette was well appointed.
