The Oban Hotel boasts a fabulous location right on the seafront, directly opposite Bistrot Pierre and the Wish Tower, placing you incredibly close to the beach. Guests appreciate the good bed size and having a smart TV in their room. The large rooms and big windows provide bright spaces and allow enjoyment of the views, although some guests have noted that the cleanliness could be improved. Very good value for money.

the hotel is near shops and the seafront which i found convenient. check-in and check-out were quick. the area was quiet and peaceful which ensured a good night's sleep. parking was available right in front of the hotel offering ease of access with my luggage.
the kettle lead was short making it hard to fill with water under the tap i had to find a workaround

superb seafront stay

convenient location friendly staff
The hotel has a great location near the sea. i loved the easy walk to the town centre! the staff was friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. parking opposite the hotel was easy and surprisingly cheap. It was a definite plus.
i found a dirty cloth left on the toilet seat in my room. it was a minor issue, but i hope housekeeping will pay greater attention to detail in the future.
