Top St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

The Scot

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the bed was comfortable"

The Whisky Vaults

10/10 Excellent

"Great place right in the heart of Oban. 2 minute walk to Oban Distillery. The whisky bar downstairs was really fun and convenient. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful."

The Pierrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a quick overnight stop before the early ferry from Oban. There is no on-site staff at the hotel, however they are located at one of the sister hotels nearby. Note that you need an access code to gain entry to the hotel which is sent via email the day before you arrive."

Muthu Alexandra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, lovely restaurant and menu plus perfect location. Loved it. Good value."

The Kelvin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good"

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had room 109 and it looked out over the water and the lively street but was very quiet. The shower was amazing as were the products. The coffee and tea and snacks were delicious. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and dark! We didn’t get to explore the hotel at all since we were just there overnight but we would gladly stay there again if we are lucky enuf to return to Oban. What a great little town and a great hotel experience!"

Oban Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great very friendly,service great"

Muthu Oban Regent Hotel

8/10 Good

"Despite how it looks on the outside, this is a very nice hotel. The outside looks rough and needs some attention, but our room was lovely. If you have heavy luggage, be aware that you have to bring it up several stairs to reach the lobby (there is no ramp or lift - the stairs are the only way). The breakfast was good, the people were pleasant, and the amenities were fine. The standout feature of this hotel is the location. Oban is a really lovely town and this hotel is right across from the harbor."

Dalrigh House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, lots of parking, easy to find. The accommodation is tastefully decorated, clean and the room felt calm and peaceful (although you can hear other guests coming and going). You have use of shared kitchen and lounge which has a partial view of the bay. The room (Nr 3) was a good size but there was little space within the bathroom for toiletries etc, the sink was small, and a light next to the desk would be useful if I'm being picky! I would definitely recommend Dalrigh house and would stay again if visiting Oban."
