In a prime location, right in the centre of the curving esplanade, just a pleasant walk from the shops and harbour, stands Oban's Great Western; a hotel proud of offering space and comfort, as well as magnificent views of the bay (remember to look out for those memorable sunsets!). Ideal for a relaxing holiday, the activity on the bay can simply be watched from the welcoming lounge and cocktail bar, while it's also an ideal touring centre. With Glencoe, serene lochs and the Western Isles on the doorstep, there's a myriad of sightseeing opportunities. And with coast and country walks, angling, sailing, diving, bird-watching and a whole host of other leisure pursuits at hand, you should never be at a loss for something to do.
The Hotel’s car park, which has limited space is located at the front of the building. If full, alternative parking is usually available in the council car park close by (fee payable).

Fantastic
My wife and I had a five day holiday at this hotel and the service was just outstanding. The staff and management could not do enough for you, the meals were fantastic and plenty to choose from and the hotel rooms were spotless. There was entertainment very night and it was very good my wife and I hope to return to this hotel next year for our holiday. All in all, excellent value for money we feel this hotel should be upgraded to at least four star.

Brilliant!
Before we even arrived, the staff were so helpful, Darren , the manager and Linda were great. My mum was with me and they made sure her room was perfect for her and she didn’t have to walk too far. The hotel, was lovely, our rooms were brilliant, amazing scenery, comfortable beds, just a really good stay. I will certainly be back again, and I will be recommending the hotel to my friends and family.

Our Great Weekend
Just come back from here, had a great time. We were lucky with the weather but would still have enjoyed it. Our driver was great, the day trip and scenery were amazing, hotel older but clean and everything we needed, food good, entertainment good, staff pleasant and friendly guests. All in all would recommend. Oban is a lovely place as well, will definitely go back.

Oban
My wife, daughter and I stayed for four nights in this wonderful hotel. Really enjoyed our stay and would like to thank the staff. The whole area around Oban is stunning and we enjoyed such a delightful walk around the harbour one night just before the sun set. Would recommend (and have done) this to friends and family. Hope to return soon.
