I stayed at the Oban Bay Hotel for two nights and it was a joyless experience. The attractive facade gives the impression that you're booking into a small cozy hotel. not so. Behind the old building is a modern extension which according to the notices in the maze of corridors, has some 300 rooms. I was unfortunate enough to get... more

More a 2 star hotel and another reviewer states. A small room at the back with no view and breakfast was very poor. Staff ok but needs a good update to be a three star. I really must say if this hotel is number 1 in Oban then it doesn't say much for somewhere to stay for even an average... more

We stayed at the hotel end of June, when it was very warm. I made the booking for a group of people and having read reviews rang ahead to ensure we got nice, clean rooms. (I was booking 3). My room was not bad - it was a double, but would have been quite small for two people. The bathroom... more

Thank you for taking the time to write your recent review on Trip Advisor. I was disappointed to read of your recent experience at the Oban Bay Hotel and Spa. We are very proud of the hotel and of the service standards, however I read that on this occasion we did not fulfill our commitment to you. We take all...

We booked with an internet special offer and paid £65 per night. The hotel is approximately a mile from the train station, so a taxi is recommended for those who cannot walk far. The view, however, is excellent - overlooking the harbour. On arrival the front of house displayed cost per room was £160 per night! I'm very happy to... more

We had booked in for 3 mnghts but had to cut short our holiday due to a family bereavement. The staff are very well trained and friendly from the lovely man at reception to the ultra efficient staff in the dining room. Our room was clean and a good size with a lovely modern bathroom. The sun lounge is amazing... more

Searching for my film location I ended in Oban and was recommended Oban Bay Hotel and Spa by a friend. I didn’t expect such amazing hotel in Oban with loads to offer to its costumers and very friendly staff. Food was amazing with really taste of the local, organic food and well acclaimed sea food. Rooms have been very clean... more

I stayed here with my bf just year for a long weekend. The hotel is terrible for parking. You will be told there are no spaces and there will be 3 empty ones outside, we parked up and stayed and were not checked. There are a good few places to sit and chill out with drinks but it is really... more

Staying on a leisure break, at check in advised the receptionist that we were celebrating our anniversary and were subsequently upgraded to a suite in the hotel. We booked this venue because of the spa facilities and close proximity to Oban centre, however the outdoor hot tub was a welcome surprise! Food, service and staff excellent - already planning a... more

Our room was tiny and the bathroom was cramped and incredibly dated. It was not cleaned properly (splatters on the walls!) and just looked very shabby, with stained carpet etc. The bed was worn out, uncomfortable, and it was just utterly disappointing. The public areas were similarily worn out and grubby. I wanted to iron something and we found a... more

As a hotelier I very much like to thank the guests who stay at the Hotel and offer positive feedback for improvement and I will rely your comments to the team. Once again we would like...
