Wonderful hotel in a great location. Staff we spoke to were so lovely and friendly. We stayed in one of the rooms that is separate to the main property, and it was very well equipped and spacious. So clean and very peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious, clean rooms with a very good bed and the best pillows and towels. The kitchen could be better equipped - more towels, a cutting board, and a microwave would all have been most welcome.

Clean modern hotel

Lovely convenient hotel in the heart of Oban. Lovely breakfast (best black pudding we have had for ages). The room was clean and they let us check in early which was great.

Our rooms on the first floor were very noisy with sounds from the streets and the sea birds. It was a hot week in Scotland and the rooms didn’t cool down at night. Overall it was a fine room with a nice location.

Our stay at The Scot was great. All staff members were friendly and helpful. Location of the hotel is great, very close to Oban distillery, restaurants, shopping, etc.. Property was clean and bar was nice for breakfast and evening drinks. We were even allowed to bring in takeaway food to eat with no issues. Parking was good and secluded behind the hotel from the driveway at the right of the hotel. Relating to the actual room, we had reserved a 'king' room. It was a cozy space but we were ok since we did not plan on spending much time there other than sleeping. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay.

We were really pleased with our stay. The rooms were excellent and bathroom was very modern. The staff member that checked us in and served at the bar was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a wee drink and game of UNO in the lounge. Would highly recommend

Friendly check in. Very clean room and comfortable bed. I think it's just been refurbished Good buffet breakfast in the morning, excellent cup of coffee. Big bonus is the car park, a lot of places in Oban don't have this I'll definitely book into here next time. towntown

Great location, right downtown. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are very small as can be expected but the bed is very comfortable. We slept well. Breakfast was good, typical Scottish breakfast and at a good price of £14.95/person. The bathroom and shower were small but the shower had great water pressure. We enjoyed our stay.
