What a glorious place to stay. The rooms were so elegant, well appointed and outfitted with every amenity you could want. Everything was well kept, clean, and comfy. Bed was heavenly. The food at the hotel was delightful, as were the drinks in the bar. The staff are solicitous, courteous and so kind and helpful. You could not ask for a better place to stay when in Oban.

A tale of two halves. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times!||Two of us stayed in single rooms on both 14 June and 21 June. On the first visit our welcome was lukewarm and I was given a terrible room - single rooms are rarely brilliant, but avoid room 111 if you can - it is very small, overlooked from the street with no privacy blinds, has a huge carpet stain near the window and the tiniest bathroom - you need to be very slim to navigate past the toilet & remove anything on the towel hooks to get in through a narrow entrance to the shower. This is for a room costing around £200 B&B. The rooms had good facilities - iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and the usual coffee machine, kettle, biscuits, water etc Beds were comfortable. We had a good evening meal and enjoyed our included breakfast. We made the reception staff aware of the difficulties and asked not to get room 111 on our next stay.||The second visit couldn't have been more different. We arrived 3 hours early, expecting just to leave our bags, but we were told our rooms were ready and we could occupy them. We had rooms 301 and 302 - lovely to be next door to each other and both very nice rooms - rooftop views, not huge but nicely appointed and convenient for spa. My shower (302) in particular was a good size. 301 doesn't have blackout curtains, much needed on long summer evenings! We booked a free slot in the spa (an hour with no one else there) and were impressed by the lovely welcoming receptionist and the facilities and really enjoyed our visit. A jacuzzi or plunge pool would have made it perfect. We dined at ee-usk (recommended) but again enjoyed a well cooked breakfast. Thank you to the reception, restaurant, bar and spa staff for making our 2nd visit so good. Would have been 5* if just reviewing 2nd visit.

I stayed at the Perle Oban and loved the hotel. The rooms are small, which is not unexpected but well maintained, clean, and modern. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a nice towel heater. We had a nice view of the harbor and the hotel was centrally located which made it easy to walk and explore. The staff was very friendly and attentive and there is daily housekeeping. The hotel does not have onsite parking so if you have a car, you will need to look for street parking. The hotel has a few spots at a nearby parking lot that they can reserve for you if you ask in advance. I would highly recommend staying at the Perle Oban Hotel when visiting Oban.

Last-Minute Stay Turned into a Wonderful Experience!

We ended up booking this hotel very last minute after our original hotel wasn’t suitable — and honestly, we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to help us get a room. Their warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease.

The hotel itself is stunning, with a lovely atmosphere and beautiful decor. Our room was clean, comfortable, and stylish — everything you’d hope for in a relaxing stay.

We were there for two nights, and the next morning I went to reception to ask for champagne glasses and a bucket of ice to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Not only was the request handled quickly, but the staff also surprised us by leaving a birthday card in our room — such a thoughtful gesture that really made our stay extra special.

The cocktail bar was fantastic — great ambiance and well-made drinks. While we didn’t have a chance to try the food or spa this time, we’re definitely planning to do so on our next visit.

Highly recommend this hotel — friendly staff, lovely rooms, and excellent service throughout. Can’t wait to return!

I had a great stay here! The room was beautifully decorated, and the staff were absolutely lovely. I really appreciated the fantastic tea and coffee setup in the room, along with the daily replenished treats—such a nice touch. The TV was also excellent.||A couple of things could use some improvement: the bead chain on the blinds was broken and had clearly been DIY-repaired with hot glue. It came apart the moment I touched it. That said, housekeeping (temporarily) fixed it the very next morning without me even reporting it, which I thought was impressive. It didn’t bother me too much since I’m tall and could still reach the top part, but for shorter guests or the elderly, it could be a bit of an issue. I imagine it’s something already on their maintenance list.||The only other downside was the shower—it felt quite small and cramped, even smaller than the one in my studio apartment (which says a lot).||Aside from those things, everything else was wonderful. There’s a lift, which is a huge plus if you’re traveling with heavy luggage, and the view from the room was lovely. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. I’m just hoping to catch a better deal next time, as I felt the price was a bit steep for what felt more like a solid 4-star experience, even though I paid what I’d expect for a 5-star stay.

We were married in Oban on 19th April, 2025, and along with our family and friends we reserved the hotel for its prosecco afternoon tea as we had been there on 14th February 2025 when we were there to arrange our wedding and we were so impressed with it then. The staff were 1st class, the surroundings were excellent and facilities perfect. The tea was absolutely amazing and of top quality. A raised area was kept separate for our party and made our day even more special. A special mention to William (manager) who was very attentive and made our day very memorable. We will certainly return.

Great stay. Excellent location steps from the rail station and the harbor. |Sea view suite #109 was a great room of good size as to the room, storage and the bathroom along with chairs and a small table in front of the window for enjoying the sea view.||-The breakfast included option was a good choice as the breakfast was very good and offered on the check out day. |-There is an outdoor terrace on which you can smoke if desired.|-Friendly staff.|-Massage at spa was good for a reasonable price and the complementary use of the thermal lounger was great for overworked calves (don't forget to book in advance).||Note: There were seven steps along the hall to the room so discuss with the staff if you have any challenges that don't arise to needing an accessible room but could make pulling heavy luggage difficult.
