Top Oban Hotel Reviews

The Whisky Vaults

The Whisky Vaults

10/10 Excellent
"An excellent 'bar pension', centrally located easy walking distance from the rail station and ferry terminal. The rooms are very stylishly decorated but compact, so good for a short stay. The ensuite was cleverly designed to fit hand basin, shower and toilet into a small space. Bed comfortable and nice towels and herbal hand / shower wash. TV working with UK free to air channels. Good Wi-fi and tea kettle and china mugs. Good food in the whisky bar and live music too on the night I was there, though I'd suggest they switch off some of the harsh halogen lights to create a cosier ambience and encourage you to linger longer! The room window was also locked and I suggest the owner unlocks them so that guests can ventilate with the fresh West Highland air if they wish... No socket in ensuite. Officially nowhere to store luggage after the early checkout time but staff let me leave a suitcase in the bar and keep the outside key until midday, which was welcome. Recommended"

"Hotel very clean room spacious and comfortable, bed a bit soft however personal opinion and still slept well, robe, slippers in room, tea and coffee making facilities with assorted teas and biscuits and complimentary bottled water. didn’t have breakfast but had evening meal, it was delicious and price very reasonable, location of hotel could not be better, harbour and train station across the road. Complimentary 30 minute steam and sauna, with two heated loungers, foot spa was not working but made use of the others, we indulged in massage and afternoon tea for two, ultimate in luxury massage tailored to our needs and afternoon tea takes account of dietary requirements, we were left to enjoy the afternoon with no rush in the comfortable lounge.

"We enjoyed our stay VERY much and were so delighted to be greeted and treated so warmly…including a surprise upgrade to a delightful sea view room upon our arrival! The hotel is very easy to find, has ample free parking on site, and the cafe/bar is so cozy…filled with delightful, historic artifacts. The hotel is an older slightly creaky historic building, though it’s been fully updated and the entire hotel was nicely appointed and squeaky clean. Our room was quite small, and we needed to navigate several assorted fire doors and narrow stairs, so my slightly lower rating on a couple of points is intended to just show that, not bash the property or criticize the service we received in any way. Our bed was very comfy and the hotel location surprisingly quiet, so we slept wonderfully. Breakfast service was top notch, perfect start to the day, and our lunch/dinner was excellent: kudos to the cook, for sure. We enjoyed our stay very much and recommend Oyster Inn highly."
