Top St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Oban

8/10 Good

"Parking"

Oban Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely location Great sitting area with a fabulous view of the water"

Corran House Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, staff were extremely helpful and changed our room to one with fewer stairs for my mum who struggles with bad knees."

The Pierrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, small rooms but that’s all you need. Self check in was great too. The steam from the shower set off the fire alarm and called the fire brigade, so make sure you keep bathroom door closed. Fan in bathroom could be more powerful and a sign on the door (our room did not have any signs about this). Still would stay here again."

Dunarle Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"As last year, when I stayed at the Dunarle, the room was clean, the house cleaners were pleasant and efficient, and the bathroom was very clean, even though it was a shared bathroom. But some issues: there was a small desk in my room, but no chair that "fit" it. When I made this reservation, I was promised a free continental breakfast. When I arrive, they no longer offer the breakfast I was promised, but offered no explanation or compensation. Disappointing. Finally, given I was on the first floor front, I was surprised at how loud the street noises were."

The Whisky Vaults

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Oban. Rooms were decorated and furnished very nicely. Rooms are above a very nice bar, but despite a full bar, no noise impacted our stay. Great little place!"

Muthu Oban Regent Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and the room was better than expected."

Hamilton house guest house

8/10 Good

"We booked a 1 night stay to be in town close to the ferry terminal which we had to be at by 5.30am - a rather early start. The hotel was very handy for this and we parked in a public car park (advised by the helpful hosts) and then we walked along to the ferry very early in the morning. The hotel was perfect for this and we had a decent (if short!) sleep. The room was fine for this - basic without frills and a comfortable bed. Please do note that the window opened straight onto the main road and can be rather noisy with trucks and cars going past right outside. And some drunken revellers passing by early morning. Not the hotel's fault, it is the price you pay for being handy in the middle of the town!"

Muthu Alexandra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place and lovely staff members, Tina & Jude, Deb, Rowan and Dani"
