Loves our short stay in Oban. Apartment was very spacious with beautiful views of the bay out both windows. So convenient to restaurants and shops and the ferry!

Couldn’t recommend this apartment more. It has everything you need, clean and modern, beautiful views, comfortable bed, and Oban as soon as you step outside! Loved our stay - Thank you.
Excellent apartment in Oban. Walking distance to train station. Beautiful views. Quiet with great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The washer/dryer was very helpful

Another fantastic stay at the imperial apartment for a couple of nights, our 4th stay in this apartment & we honestly wouldn't book anywhere else in Oban now. Great location & amazing view. West coast cottages staff very welcoming, helpful & friendly.

Pleasant Stay
Lovely enjoyable stay at Imperial Apartments. Clean, spacious and well equipped for a 1 bedroom apartment. Central location for restaurants, bars and railway station and ferry. My only criticism is that the shower could do with being more powerful but only a minor issue.
We had a wonderful stay! This apartment was perfect for our little honeymoon getaway. In this apartment you have everything you need. The view from the bed is absolutely gorgeous. Waking up and looking at the pier was one of our highlights :)
Thank you!
The apartment is located in the heart of Oban and has a wonderful view of the harbor. It is well laid out with all of the amenities of a few days’ stay. While we were there we had great weather and went on one of the local boat excursions. The tour of the distillery, which is only a block away, was wonderful as were the local restaurants we ate at. Thank you for the wonderful memories of Oban!

A few days in Oban
We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Oban, it more than met our expectations! The apartment was in a first class location with spectacular views…we enjoyed sitting watching the ferries and all the other activities in the harbour. Plenty places to eat out especially the Piazza and the seafood restaurant.
We would definitely recommend the Imperial Apartment, we would stay there again.

WOW
Ideal location on the harbour by the shops and restaurants. Close to the railway station and the ferries.
30 steps up to the apartment in a well lit and well kept stairway.
Once inside the view's are amazing, mixture of old with the stone wall and modern and warm.
Very clean and bright.
A most welcome surprise after a disastrous hire of cottage in Tenby earlier in the year. Imperial Apartment is very spacious, clean, very well appointed with a lovely view over the bay. Most convenient for the excellent restaurants ie Coast (five stars!) EE-Usk and Waterfront Fishouse with Cuan Mor just downstairs. Excellent for breakfast.

Imperial apartment
Lovely apartment, the stairs were a bit of a downside taking up and down luggage the views from the apartment were super lots of time spent just looking out the window. Apartment was well equipped to spend a week.
We enjoyed our stay in Oban. The apartment is located right in the center of town. Very close to the train, bus, and ferry stations. The apt was spacious, the bed comfortable, and overlooks the harbor. Minor street noise. The host provided lots of information about Oban and activities. The apartment and bathroom was clean. The shower water controls are touchy. But, there is hot water.
This is an outstanding apartment in a first class location. The Imperial Apartment is everything as advertised in the VRBO summary. It is extremely convenient to downtown shopping and dining and the harbor views from the suite, both sitting room and bedroom are extraordinary. Communications with the ownership team (Gemma and Sandie) were flawless. They were both very responsive, and considerate in ensuring it was a great experience (it was). I sincerely hope to be back to Oban with a return visit to the Imperial Apartment.
The apartment is in a wonderful location. Walking distance from train station and close to everything. It’s a large place, very well stocked, and overall fairly comfortable. The shower has an on demand water heater which if you’re not careful with the setting can get extremely hot. The pressure is also not the best. The living room furniture is not super comfortable but decent.
The apartment checkin instructions state there’s a sign on the actual apartment door which is not there.
The biggest downsides are the street noise and the fact that there’s not a fan. You can’t sleep with the windows open because it would be way too loud from the street.
Being able to walk to the ferries to explore the islands is a very big plus. Overall a wonderful stay in a great city!
