Good for an overnight before an early ferry start
Clean ... but old like most hotels in Oban ... so not bad ! Quite do-able walk to the early morning ferry to Coll & Tiree / Colonsay. Did the job. Free off site parking can be sorted if you ask.

Si cet hôtel vous attire réfléchir à deux fois
Forte odeur de renfermée - Chauffage très vieux Mon fils qui est allergique asmathique a eu tout de suite une crise - Douche ancienne pas facile à utiliser Pas de produit douche le 2ème jour Chambre tout au fonds de l'hôtel donnant sur parkings extérieur Rien à voir avec la photo - Surement un bâtiment annexe construit ultérieurement. Par contre la ville d'Oban est super sympa.

A nice hotel made better by its staff. Wonderful welcome and assistance on where to park and how to avoid the stairs with luggage. Everyone was very pleasant. Kimberly, at the spa, gave a fantastic deep tissue massage. When told that she should teach massage—she informed us that she does, at a local college. We loved our stay here.

Very overwhelmed staff and difficult to park Not good vibes. The front is a beautiful view. We had to go downtown for breakfast. They said they had tour groups coming in and 7 and 10 were the only times available for breakfast~ turned out to be false. Lots of steps to get to lift. Room was very dark and too small of a bathroom.

No onsite parking. The staff is really why the poor review. Extremely uninformative, unhelpful, and rude. The room was very nice with a great view, but the bed was so lumpy and uncomfortable. Food was pretty good, just make sure you double confirm your booking because we had some issues. It’s way overpriced for what you get, the parking is really problematic, and the staff really just made our stay unenjoyable.

Hi Amanda, thanks for your review. I'm disappointed to read your paragraph of errors, some things I only wish we know at the time, so we could have resolved during your stay. Amanda, we do have onsite parking, both Valet and free parking, i'm sorry if these were full upon your arrival. We do have an agreement with the cathedral next door, offering free parking just 1 minute away. I would really like to hear further feedback on our rude and unhelpful staff, if you wouldn't mind getting in touch with me directly? You can reach me on foh.obanbay@crerarhotels.com - as you can see from previous reviews, our staff are usually the highlight of our guests stay. I have passed your feedback onto our head house keeper regarding your lumpy bed, and they have now discarded the mattress topper and replaced it with a new one. This could have of course been resolved during your stay if we had the opportunity to fix it. With regards to double confirming your booked, can you provide some further information, so we can make good use your feedback?

Three lights in our room did not work and the TV was piciliated. The reception staff on arrival were less than helpful and no one offered a Porter service despite two of our party being middle aged females. We had quite a walk to the lift and to our rooms so a conseuirage would have been appreciated. Dinner was of reasonable presentation but staff service needs to be better. Pricing was expensive.

The receptionist on arrival was unfriendly never smiled. The room had a dirty carpet and was not cleaned to a high standard. It felt like someone had quickly gone over the surface but it needs a deep clean. It had very little parking which was a problem. On the positive side we had a great view of the bay and the breakfast was good. It was ok but for the price I expected it to be better

Some issues but staff exceptionally keen to please
Just two spaces for accessibility vehicles both full but the helpful receptionist found us a good alternate. Not a location I’d yet class as “dementia friendly” but, with some additional training of staff the basic good will is there and so there would be hope for a more discerning service.

VERY Disappointed
Well, there was no valet, no interest in helping us check in, it was 10pm, no parking, no valet at night or in morning, told me where free parking was, a block away in an alley, I discovered, but no directions, no substantive help with directions to elevator, buttons don’t light up, and first floor has a down button only, ordered 3 sandwiches, asked if I’d come get them, no chips, no silverware, no tray, no napkins for in room dining, just 1 plate for the family, in morning the hallway was strewn with piles of dirty laundry, breakfast folks were nice, but all the other staff sighed a lot, wasn’t helpful, not what we expected for the amenities described online

Hi Andy, thanks for your review. First of all, i'm so sorry our Valet service was not available to you. Unfortunately our Valet is only on shift until 9pm and it seems there was no one else available to help you at that time of night. Of course, if pre-booked, we could have ensured someone was here late in the evening to assist. The free car parking is on street or just a 1 minute away, around the corner, i'm really unsure as to where you parked, so i do apologize that you weren't provided clear instructions.Our hotel is a historic building and we have tried to keep our decor as in-keeping as possible, so our elevator does not have lights in the buttons - however, there is definitely a button on each floor to activate the lift. From the ground floor, it only goes up - as the lift, only goes up.Please accept my apologies regarding your sandwiches, room service is 100% available 24 hours per day, and your food should have been delivered accordingly with silverware, tray and napkins. And chips, if you had ordered them. There seems to have been miscommunication from our night porter on this occasion, who thought you wanted to enjoy them in the bar. I have passed this feedback on to our night porter, and can assure you this won't happen again.It's disappointing that you did not get the full Oban Bay Experience, as you can see from previous reviews, this is not the normal standards of our hotel. I really hope you'll return and allow us to show you the hospitality we so proudly advertise.

Nice and clean room , we also enjoyed the thermal experience and one of the things is they put the cctv camera in front of the reception everyone can see that so is not that private, and both lock of the spa room and hot tub is not actually working , they do gave you the password for access , but you don’t need it to open the door , so be careful when you changing cloths , staff or others would just came in and it did happen to me .

Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful view from the conservatory. Good food. The dog wasn’t allowed in the restaurant but we could eat our meals and have drinks in the conservatory so it worked out really well. The only thing to be aware of is that there is not much parking so it is likely you’ll have to park on the street or in a car park nearby.
