Independent hotels in Oban, Scotland

"Clean, convenient location, wonderful hosts"

"Fantastic welcome from reception staff who were very friendly. Managed to find a space in the small car park at the back which was a . As I walked up the stairs, I was slightly worried as the carpets are extremely worn and tatty - coming away from the walls in places. However, upon entering my room, I was relieved to find it beautifully decorated and clean. The bathroom looked new and the shower was very powerful. I will note that the shampoo holder was broken, though. Having breakfast included was great - I headed down and unfortunately the lady seated me but did not tell me that there was a buffet so I did spend a few minutes sat there waiting for someone to take my order before I realised I needed to go in the next room and help myself. It would’ve been nice if she had explained that when she sat me down! Breakfast was wonderful, tasty with lots of choice and there was a proper coffee machine, which is always appreciated. Checkout was easy. I just dropped the keys and I was asked if everything had been okay. Will definitely be returning."

"Great place to stay, location, walkable Restaurant serves very good food"

"Lovely hotel on the water"

"Clean room, good bed, nice bathroom, good breakfast."

"Sheena, the manager, greeted us at check-in welcoming us to The Kelvin. We always stay here when we come to Oban. The location can't be beat, right next to the ferry terminal and the train station, shops and restaurants within minutes of walking out the door. The staff here is always friendly and the bar is one of the coziest in town. This is always a winner. "

"Charming 19th Century Hotel, friendly staff "

"Really great location, steps from the ferry terminal and train station, restaurants and shops. Would like better directions though. It was hard to find. "

"This beautiful property overlooks a loch and hills beyond. The quiet surrounds and easy parking were perfect for our adult getaway. The room was spectacular with a full wall of windows to appreciate the fantastic view along with other thoughtful, luxurious touches. Since restaurants are a bit of a drive, we ordered the seafood platter for dinner. One of the best decisions we made this trip. It was sublime. A stay at Ardtorna, and a chance to enjoy the gourmet breakfast, are two of the reasons we'll be back to Scotland. "
