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.

Bustling little port at centre of Highland area, ferries to outer and inner islands. Train station if no car, plus reasonable bus service to places of interest, eg. Dunstaffnage Castle and Oceanic research facility at Dunbeg etc. Try a ferry visit to Mull and look out for seals , dolphins, etc.
Excellent shops and restaurants, all in small scale and within easy walking distance.
Lots of points of interest and if weather nice, very hard to beat. Great for Families with young children and Oldies as well.

GORGEOUS little port town.
GORGEOUS little port town. Lots of lovely little shops, an interesting war time museum, and excellent food and drink in the numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants. Easy access to travel by bus, ferries, and trains.
Walked (some of us VERY SLOWLY!) up the hill to McCaig's Tower and enjoyed the spectacular views; followed by a delicious late lunch at Cuan Mor.

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
Lovely hotel in a great location. Friendly staff provided a speedy check in and I got a lovely upgrade. The room had everything you needed. Bathroom was perfect too although it was a shower over the bath which may not suit everyone if mobility was an issue. It was lovely and quiet at night, no corridor noise etc. breakfast was very good and again everything was clean and well presented. Staff were lovely on check out, showing concern as to whether your stay had been good. This is where I would stay when returning to Oban again.
good things were hotel location, on site parking, 24 hour reception, room size/layout, en suite had lovely hot shower (over bath), large bar lounge, friendly staff, the breakfast self service buffet on the first floor had a very good varied choice of hot and cold fair and was excellently prepared. Although the hotel including the room were a little bit tired they had character and the package come in at a fair price. I would definitely return to The Royal Hotel if staying in Oban
If you want: a clean, albeit small hotel room (we are never in the room much anyways so does it matter?!), VERY central location walkable to the city center of Oban, friendly staff (we never had breakfast there, though), easy check-in and out, parking available nearby although not on property... this is a great option in Oban! We had a room with a private but unattached bathroom which worked fine for my husband and I but would probably not work for children.
Property may not be most attractive from outside above retail shop but once inside from entrance lobby, stairwell and apartment all very good. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had all the features described on the website site. Keys are collected from hotel reception a few doors down. Centrally located within walking distance of all shops and restaurants in Oban. Some metered parking on street and nearby.
This is the best hotel I have stayed in, in Oban. It was modern, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.
I liked the breakfast very much - french toast with maple syrup. The location was ideal for me - about five minutes walk from the railway station (and ferry terminal), and also five minutes from the Tesco supermarket, and near the main street of the town.
We booked to stay in Oban for 2 nights for our mini moon having been let down by a previous hotel booking this was a last minute dash to get somewhere. I was slightly worried but I shouldn't have been hotel was spotless room was spacious and staff were lovely. I would definitely stay again when visiting Oban.
The place is very clean and neat. It’s basically like a big hotel room. The hostess, Carolyn, was super kind and concerned about our needs.
Oban is a great little town, with excellent seafood!!!It’s a great place to stop if you want to take a tour to the isle of Iona or Staffa.
Would definitely recommend!
After our hotel cancelled on us the night before arriving in Oban, I'm very greatful that Perle Oban made room for us.
If arriving by train or ferry, you couldn't get a better location within walking distance. We enjoyed the downstairs bar & all staff were very pleasant & helpful.
Everything was perfect 👍 Very clean room and excellent view from the window.As we arrived in Oban a little early, we contacted the hotel and we were accommodated earlier without any problems.Thank you very much ☺️.
The location was very good. Oban is a fantastic place and the hotel overlooking the harbour is excellent.
The room was a good size and so much bigger than hotels like Premier Inn. Bathroom was also a good size.
The property is fabulous location, this place is pet friendly my dog was made very welcome!! The hotel is 3 star and it does what it says on the tin... perfect stay
Good position of hotel central for all attractions in Oban. Beds small but comfortable.
Cafe Rio attached to hotel - food excellent & lovely atmosphere.
