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.

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

Oban is the gateway to the islands so lots of ferries...
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.
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.
Nothing., the hotel was a disgrace, if I were booking.com I would remove it from the site. Among other stuff there was a rentakill box under the bed with a dead slater beside it, we spoke to the owner but total waste of time. He would not refund us .so we moved to another hotel and lost half of our money ,but no way were we sleeping in that we had our friends with us so two room,s were booked for £237 ridiculous. Booking.com at least refunded someI .would stay well clear of this Hotel.
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 Scotland at its absolute best! The hotel is better than its current Booking.com pics as it has undergone a beautiful refurbishment. The staff were absolutely incredible - very friendly, engaging, professional, immaculate, and attentive. We spent 4 nights here, leaving totally relaxed and pampered. The hotel is about 15 minutes out of Oban, such an easy drive and worth every minute.
The hotel was lovely, very comfortable and clean. Although the hotel is located approx 5 miles from Oban, it is an easy drive in, or a very quick train journey, with the station ideally situated close to the hotel.
The food at the hotel honestly could not be faulted for both breakfast and evening meals in the bistro.
The staff were all incredibly friendly and professional.
We liked the peaceful location , but it was still close enough to the town centre. The apartment had tasteful decor and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Immaculate. It was so nice to have the kitchenette, compared to being in a hotel, with people coming and going all the time etc.
Was a real treat. Home from home. Free parking spot too, rare in Oban!
Lovely stay. The staff is super friendly and polite and they treated us well. The hotel is newly renovated, colorful and with photo-worthy corners. Shower in the bathroom is excellent. Food is very tasty. Perfect location, in front of the sea and along the esplanade, in a quieter area compared to the other others right near the pier/centre of Oban. Highly recommended!
Great location on waterfront at harbor. Plenty of on-site parking. Some parking allocated to hotel, other spaces in lot were free overnight, so no problem there. Very convenient to local pubs and restaurants. Nicely sized rooms. All around good location and good stay. Really fun little pub fight across the street - check it out. PLUS, Oban Distillery is right there!
Beautiful, comfortable and well run hotel. We particularly liked the honesty bar and the staff who really did go the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The room was cozy, felt very luxurious and well appointed. I very much doubt that there's a better place to stay in Oban. We will be back in the winter to see how they do Christmas.
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.
I loved the look of the hotel and the location, right across from the ocean. This is the reason I booked it. It looked absolutely Dreamy! And I loved all the amenities they touted .... however it ALL turned out to be the worst stay of our trip. Thank heavens it was only 1 night.
This hotel was wonderful! We enjoyed it so much. The owners even left a whisky tasting for us from nearby Oban distillery as well as crisps and sodas. The view out the front windows was fantastic. The size of the rooms was very large. We would definitely highly recommend!!!
It was fun staying in a beautiful, historic hotel. Oban is AMAZING, and staying in the heart of the city was exciting. The guy who checked us in when we arrived was funny, engaging, and enthusiastic.
Beautiful hotel, details, great food. The restaurant is better than many places even being a hotel. You can book for dinner even you can not stay at the hotel if being sold out etc...
The location of the Oban Bay Hotel is excellent, the bed was really comfortable, and the reception staff were professional and friendly, and the food in the restaurant was very good.
Good position of hotel central for all attractions in Oban. Beds small but comfortable.
Cafe Rio attached to hotel - food excellent & lovely atmosphere.
