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.

Oban is an absolutely beautiful coastal town with great access to the rest of the Highlands. The ferries were very easy to use and we had a wonderful time exploring the Isle of Mull and travelling past the Isle of Kerrera on the way. Also make sure to head towards Dunollie Castle and take the tour round - a great time if you enjoy history or stories of the clans.
All of the food establishments that we went to were delicious and had great options. Highly recommend the ceilidh dancing on a Monday and Thursday night as it was a cracking time.

Oban is on a very pretty bay.
Oban is on a very pretty bay. It was really busy on a beautiful Saturday and the people were friendly and helpful. Coasters and EE-usk accepted us for food/drinks with no reservations!
We did not get there early enough to explore the attractions.
The train station and ferry terminal were very efficient and helpful.
We discovered a choir and orchestra concert which was a real treat!
Fantastic town centre location. Seaviews but even my view back over town & uphill was scenic.
Good cooked breakfast in a nice breakfast room with view to Sea. Wait staff pleasant, helpful & efficient.
Single room well furnished & comfortable.
Shower reliable & hot.
Old Victorian Hotel with same era lift (elevator) much appreciated for arrival/departure with luggage but between that I somehow preferred to walk the 56 stairs to my 2nd storey room. 😆
Next door to very helpful Oban Tourist Info Office open 7 days.
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.
The hosts were kind and efficient. We enjoyed the room and the location. The small bar in the hotel was managed by the owner and he offered us a taste of whiskey and recommended local excursions. Breakfast was large and made to order, and tasty. I would say this was the best value and best location of our whole trip in Scotland. Onsite parking and beautiful grounds whit a view of the bay. We felt very well taken care of!
I highly recommend!
I was lucky enough to stay at this hotel for two days. The sea view outside the hotel is really beautiful. Sitting by the window and watching the sea view is very, very enjoyable and comfortable. The night was quiet and I slept well. The room is big and warm, all facilities are good. The breakfast was delicious. The staff there are very friendly. If I have the chance to go to Oban again, I will definitely choose to go back to this hotel.
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.
Hotel location in Oban
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Rooms were warm and beds comfortable.
Breakfast was OK but could have had scottish touches.
Plenty of spacious public rooms which are comfortable with excellent views over the Oban harbour and town.
Tea and coffee in the room was a nice touch which doesn't happen in a lot of hotels nowadays.
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.
I cannot fault this hotel it was fantastic in every respect. The welcome was great, the room was perfect and it's in a superb location loverlooking the loch and close to Oban. Our ferry to Mull had been cancelled and it was exactly what we needed and great value for money. A brilliant stay!
We have stayed here before which is why we chose to return,the hotel staff are excellent,nothing is too much,the views over Oban bay are superb,we upgraded to a junior suite which was lovely,the indoor swimming pool is fantastic too,all in all absolutely fantastic.
The hotel is exceptionally clean, staff very warm and service oriented, plus a nice bar! The train stop is a 3 min walk, which makes Oban and surrounding areas very accessible. The made to order breakfast with a sea view was amazing!
The room was very cute and cosy. The hotel was very well located in Oban, convenient to the centre and to the ferry services. The hosts were very communicative and the room was clean with a great bed.
Spent 2 days in Oban. Hotel was really clean and staff helpful. Great location with parking. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Would recommend and would stay here again.
