Fabulous stay !

Beautifullly situated hotel with amazing views over the water with lovely seating area to enjoy the scenery. Small, but comfortable clean room. Delicious breakfast served in no time. Staff were friendly and professional and their uniforms were so smart. Highly recommend this hotel, we’d definitely return.

Just an overnight - but in the price we paid we did expect a breakfast to be included (in fact we did think it was until confirmation came through)!

The rooms are a little plain and small for the cost. Very good bedding linens.

Oban Bay Hotel is excellent. The staff are brilliant, the food is 1st class and the hotel is modern and clean. It’s very close to the centre of Oban and has beautiful sea views

The Gem of Oban

The chef and the floor staff in the hotel restaurant should be complimented on their food, appearance and attention to detail. Just amazing keep up the fabulous work. The bar and lobby entrance sharp and sophisticated , I must say a special mention to the front bar with view over the bay. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed and decorated. For those with fur friends - there is a doggy wall of fame

Good comfortable stay great staff

Great views, bar and restaurant staff were great! Small but comfortable room. No AC so it got warm the days we were there. Bathroom and shower was decent.
Timothy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor value for money

Sorry to say I felt incredibly ripped off here. The decor was shoddy, the mattresses lumpy, the service lackadaisical. Litter and only instant coffee available in the room. Oh, and residents, incredibly, have to pay to use the spa which when you are paying over £200 a room is not what you expect.Good value is hard to find on the west coast of Scotland in August but really, I wish I’d gone to the Premier Inn.
