"The men's bathroom was two floors below our room. The mattress on my bed was worn out and I could feel metal springs on my back. On the plus side, the room had a good view, it was reasonably priced, and the manager refunded my money when the paid-for breakfast was not provided."

Top Oban Hotel Reviews

The Great Western Hotel

The Great Western Hotel

8/10 Good
"I was quite disappointed upon entering the hotel foyer, and I thought to myself, gosh, it’s very tired. That said, when we entered our room, it was delightful. Everything was beautifully clean and there was so much space that we could just dump our stuff without even unpacking! The bedding was sumptuous and the bed itself was lovely and comfy. Hotels still insist on putting winter duvets on in summer though, so we were too warm at times! The bathroom was quirky but again, beautifully clean. The toilet seat didn’t fit correctly and as we were checking out, I brought it to the hotel receptionist’s attention and she said they’d sort it but I am quite sure that this issue must have been known about as it would have been cleaned before whilst in this position. The view from our window was absolutely stunning - right across Oban harbour and some islands could be seen in the distance. Just beautiful. We spent two nights in this amazingly situated hotel - a couple of hundred yards from the main town, but did not have reason to have any food so cannot comment about this. The gentleman behind the bar was really nice and we had a couple of drinks there on the first night. Prices were not extortionate."
