Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.
The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.
Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.
Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.
As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

i went at new year hoping to find a ceilidh on somewhere without success i went to the coreyvrecken wotherspoons for my meals which was also first class. what i would avoid on my next visit would be tescos £5.25p breakfasts. i ordered the breakfast with a cup of tea the teapot was out of a dolls house and the cup was like a soup bowl. i also got two slice of toast with butter full cost £8.65p i went back and queried the price and they said it was right. £1.90p for the dolls house teapot £1.50 FOR 2 SLICE OF TOAST WITH BUTTER and £5.25 for the breakfast a total of £8.65 a shear rip off. in wotherspoons i got the same for £7.04p but with a huge mug for your tea and as many refills as you like first class. i tried to see the tescos manager but he wasn't there in this day and age £1.50 for 2 slice of toast a whole loaf only costs £1.30 hope you can take it up with tesco

Oban is the gateway to the islands so lots of ferries operating here and plenty of choices for other places to visit while staying in Oban.
There are lots of shops and restaurants within a few minutes walking distance and plenty of fantastic views to be had along the esplanade.
All in all a great place to visit.

The seafood was absolutely amazing, went to two seafood restaurants one on the jetty @ the ferry terminal ( The Waterfront Fishouse)and one on the north pier ( Ee-usk ), both restaurants food were fabulous. If like me you like a Guinness then go to the Oban Inn for a nice pint of the black stuff. We stayed out of town at Benderloch before our only night in Oban, we booked a room at The Scot hotel. This was a nice and central stay with the shops, bars and restaurants in close proximity. Will most probably be back to experience more that Oban and the surrounding area has to offer.
Beautifully decorated room with a spacious, modern bathroom. We had a lovely view of the waterfront, which was ideal. The bed/bedding was extremely comfortable. We appreciated the coffee/tea station, which was well-stocked, along with complimentary water and cookies. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is centrally located so we walked most of the time to local destinations. The seafood in Oban, especially on the pier, is exceptional. If you want a perfect city-center spot, The Perle Oban is the place to be!
Nicely designed hotel about 10 minutes (walking) outside of the main part of Oban. Our room was quite comfortable despite being on the smaller side. It was perfectly adequate for our needs of a one-night stay. The shower had great water pressure. Good WiFi. Parking onsite. The breakfast was good as well with lots of choices. The people working at the hotel were very friendly!
Lovely hotel with rooms that had all the necessities as well as some nice extras like afternoon tea. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Staff were attentive and helpful. We enjoyed coming back after a evening around town and having a cocktail at the bar located in the hotel. Highly recommend this place if staying in Oban.
Great location, very central within walking distance of Oban centre. The sea view from our room was very nice, overlooking the harbour in a fairly quiet area of Oban. Surprisingly comfortable beds, despite the run down ambience of the hotel. Our room was spacious and dog friendly which was the reason why we booked it.
Great price. Clean modern room for an older property. Towels and bedding good. Simple check-in. Convenient public parking. No view from the room but beer garden at front . It's not a luxury high end hotel, but I'd be happy to stay again for convenience and comfort/cleanliness for a visit to Oban
The hotel was fantastic breakfast was fantastic enjoyed my pancakes and bacon and the avocado on toast staff were so happy and helpful nothing was too much trouble would recommend it in a heartbeat the locals of the town were helpful and friendly too Oban is a fantastic place to be
The location is fantastic - walking distance to everything in Oban and with spectacular views of the water (hotel is just across the street from the bay). The breakfast was top notch, and they offer gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options as well.
Location was stunning over looking the loch, only a short drive from Oban. The hotel was very tasteful decorated with cosy sitting rooms overlooking the loch. The staff were warm and welcoming offering tips on local drives and stories .
Charming hotel. Remarkable location. Very helpful staff. It is a Victorian hotel, and yes, it shows its age. It served every one of my expectations. If one wants something more modern, stay in the Hilton. Highly recommended.
Very cheap hotel in Oban, although offering a room worth even less that what paid for. Good option for a quick stop in Oban. Friendly staff welcoming us at the arrival! Good breakfast provided, and included in the room cost.
The location, staff, and facilities were fantastic. They were extremely kind and accommodating and the building itself is full of classic seaside hotel charm. I won't hesitate to book again next time I'm in Oban.
The location of the hotel is ideal with stunning views over Oban bay. Plenty car parking and clean rooms. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Staff were lovely.
Lovely hotel in fantastic location. Had a double room overlooking beautiful Oban Bay. Exceptionally pleasant and accommodating staff. Highly recommended 👌
Great location. Plenty pubs. Oban itself is worth seeing (just not from this hotel) and not at these prices. Staff in the local pubs are very friendly.
