I spent two nights in the Oban Bay Hotel - it’s in a beautiful location overlooking the sea front which is ideal for watching all the ferries coming and going. The staff were all helpful and friendly with a good sense of humour. The breakfasts were excellent and the French toast, bacon and maple syrup with the addition of vanilla ice cream was certainly a first for me and surprisingly delicious!! I would happily return for another break in the future.

We really enjoyed our 2 day break in this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is lovely and spotlessly clean. The veiws from the lounge are beautiful. My only disappointment was the breakfast, everything else was perfect.

6/10

The Oban Bay Hotel has a fantastic location—stunning views, easy access to the waterfront, and within walking distance of the town’s best attractions. For that alone, it’s a convenient choice for exploring Oban. However, our recent family stay revealed some serious housekeeping and maintenance issues. Stained carpets, worn furniture, and a general lack of upkeep in rooms and common areas made the stay feel less comfortable than expected. For a hotel with such potential, a refresh in cleanliness and maintenance would go a long way. Additionally, while the reception staff weren’t outright rude, they often seemed indifferent or unengaged, even when approached politely (as our family always did). A warm smile, proactive assistance, and basic customer service training would significantly improve the guest experience. Hospitality is about making people feel welcome, and that starts with friendly, attentive staff. With some investment in upkeep and staff training, this could be a truly lovely hotel. As it stands, the location is its strongest asset—but the rest needs work.
