    Best views and yummy breakfast!

    We stayed 3 nights and absolutely loved the stunning views! The breakfast was super tasty, especially the french toast. 🍞 Everyone was really friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The bar was a blast too! Just wish the parking wasn't such a hassle. it's a bit cramped around there.

    A Memorable Night with Beautiful Views

    We enjoyed a pleasant stay, with stunning views from our room. The staff were incredibly accommodating, especially when they offered us an early breakfast before my cycling event. Highly recommend trying the local seafood in the dining area. it's exceptional! Just be sure to check meal times.

    The location by the bay is stunning with fantastic views, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. the outdated facilities and limited parking detracted from the experience. Breakfast took a while to arrive, but the food was generally enjoyable.

    It was a great fit for a city holiday in Oban with incredible value for money. The food at dinner was excellent and served quickly despite the restaurant being busy. Make sure to check for nearby parking options before arriving.

    stunning views
    inconsistent pressure
    breakfast overcrowding

    We visited Oban Bay Hotel for a two-night stay and had a wonderful experience despite a few bumps. Check-in went smoothly, and the staff greeted us warmly. The room offered stunning views of the bay, making mornings enjoyable. The bed felt comfortable, ideal for restful nights. The food we tried in the restaurant was delicious, particularly the dinner options. Our breakfasts were also tasty, though they seemed to be overwhelmed by other guests. One morning, we arrived at breakfast early, but many guests had the same idea. The staff worked hard to keep things moving, but it got a little chaotic. We also found that the bathroom could use updating. The shower pressure was inconsistent, which was a bit annoying after a long day exploring. We missed our cab on one morning despite prior arrangements, leading to a hurried start to the day.

    poor shower pressure

    Absolutely loved the location—perfect for my explorations! The staff helped me out of a pickle when my taxi ghosted me. Bonus, a member even drove me to catch my boat!

    The shower was a battle—either a drizzle or a downpour! And don’t get me started on the heating, it felt like a sauna in my room!

    stunning views
    outdoor seating
    refreshing atmosphere
    inadequate parking
    wet room

    The views from the hotel are stunning, especially from the sunroom, offering a perfect backdrop during your stay. the outdoor seating areas provide a refreshing place to unwind and soak in the scenery.

    Parking can be a hassle since spaces directly at the hotel are quite limited. you might need to offload your bags and park in a nearby car park. The wet room-style shower in the Petite Double has a small screen that doesn’t effectively contain water, resulting in a messy bathroom after use, though the cleaning team seems to manage it well. The long wait for breakfast, particularly on busy mornings, could be frustrating if you’re in a hurry, and while the breakfast options look tempting, the £18 charge might feel steep with plenty of local cafes nearby.

    great location
    chilly bar area
    cold soup

    The location is great for exploring Oban, with several attractions within walking distance. I enjoyed a fantastic massage at the spa, which was definitely a highlight of my stay. The staff was welcoming and provided helpful advice on parking and navigating the area, making my solo trip feel smooth and enjoyable. I found the bar area to be quite chilly, which was a downside, and the soup I ordered was cold upon arrival.

    communication issue

    Had an awesome trip with friends! We explored the Isle of Mull and enjoyed the stunning views from the dining area. The takeaway breakfast was a nice touch for our early start. Comfy beds and great food made our stay memorable.

    We faced a hiccup when our cab wasn’t arranged despite confirming. It was a rush to make the ferry, so better communication would be helpful.
