Loved this hotel, great location for shopping and restaurants, the ferry and trains, Our room had a great view of the harbor - the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a large walk-in shower. Breakfast was included and included an excellent selection for continental breakfast options meats cheese cereals and fresh fruit as well as traditional make to order options. At the end of the night we ended up at the LuLu lounge- great selection of beers on tap and an excellent selection of Scotches. They also have a large selection of mixed drinks - my wife was a fan of the Oban Sunset. Finally, and most importantly the staff was outstanding, always helpful attentive and just great - from the front seat to the bartender in the LuLu lounge everyone was just great. Definitely recommend.
The hotel was right next to train station food was lovely and room was very clean But was very disappointed on the hotel bar closing at 10.30 fir 11 we walked in after being out fir nice meal thought we head back to hotel fir few drinks but the barman served us saud the bar was closing e had one drink when the backing music switched off barman had his jacket on left at 11 Porter on the door I must say what a waste as the lounge is done up lovely too so we were very disappointed and for that reason we won’t be back as we like to head back to our hotel at night just chill out in the lounge
Great, classic hotel in a very convenient location. Room was large and well equipped (Nespresso machine was a bonus and rare in the UK). Staff friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced and perfectly located. Highly recommended.
Had a great night's layover here on our journey through Scotland and found Oban to be a great little town! Hotel was great, found parking a short walk away, and the room had a great view of the sea. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying here again!
Very quiet hotel. Lovely staff, very frendly and helpful.
Good bar and suana / steam room.
Very clise to harbour and local shopping.
No car parking at hotle but available clise for a charge.
Definitely return to this hotel

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your visit, and would be delighted to welcome you back
Fabulous stay at the Perle, Oban. Lovely room with great views over the bay. Bed extremely comfortable, loved the Nespresso machine, great shower and lovely toiletries in bathroom.
Restuarant was in the process of being refurbished, so only had breakfast in hotel. Freshly cooked full Scottish breakfast was delicious. Service from staff excellent.
Enjoyed drinks in the Lulu lounge in the evening. Again, staff first class.
Check in and check out very quick. Will definitely return to the Perle and would highly recommend.

The staff were extremely friendly, but the lift was broken and took two hours for breakfast to be served running on a half staff!! Not good enough

Dear Ken,Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.We are sorry for the issues that affected your stay. The service issues should not have happened, and have been addressed directly with the kitchen team.
The weather didn’t allow us to travel. We left messages with the property and got no response from them to cancel and re-book. Poor at best, very unprofessional.

Room first class, very clean, everything you need. Unfortunately breakfast as last year was really disappointing. Thought we would try again. Scrambled egg was like an omlette, full breakfast was clearly reheated and still not warm. Cost us £30, what a waste of money. Shame as 2 years ago breakfasts were amazing. Cancelled breakfast on our second morning. Apart from this we had a lovely stay at the hotel. Reception, bar and breakfast staff were all very nice and cocktails amazing.
Beautiful hotel with incredible views of the waterfront. Walking distance to some fabulous restaurants and shops. Parking was off-site but it was still a convenient option. Staff were friendly. The room was beautiful and we cannot wait to return and stay longer and explore the spa!
The service was amazing in the hotel, the spa, and the restaurant. The hotel is a very close walk to the train station and the ferry.

Very helpful, kind people. Everyone accommodating. Bar staff brilliant! Front desk folks couldn't do enough. 1 drawback. 1 price for breakfast and we can't eat THAT much food to warrant the price. Would love to see an ala carte menu when we return.

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel was ok. We were in room 103 on the front of the hotel. So at 6:30am we were woken up by buses idling in the lay-by at the front of the hotel. Not good at all.
The extra bed that was put in the room wasn’t level and the mattress had a join across the middle of it so it was very uncomfortable.
The heated towel rail in the bathroom wasn’t working so we had wet towels in the morning as they hadn’t dried from the shower the night before.
Hello Michael,Thank you for your review of Perle Oban Hotel & Spa.We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.Hope to see you again soon!Kind Regards,Perle Oban Team
Reception staff and room were fantastic. Great location.
Only issue that let our stay down was the wait for breakfast and the quality of the breakfast

This is an excellent hotel with comfortable, modern rooms that nonetheless retain some of the vintage charm that one expects in a classic hotel. Staff are great, especially Laura at the front desk and Nikolai in the restaurant.
Had an amazing stay. Room was perfect and in a great location center of town. Had a room with a view of the harbor which was fantastic

The room was the very best part. Great view, very attractive decor, clean, and good bathroom with soaps, etc.
Breakfast was fine, but not as exciting as the experience of some reviewers. No parking on site, but it's easy and cheap to park in the train station lot.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The spa was nearly impossible to coordinate and there was no one at the desk to greet me when I arrived for check-in. The restaurant was also closed for dinner which was a shame because we were looking forward to it. Aside from that, we found the facilities, location, cleanliness, convenience of parking and affordability of the property really excellent. Would stay here again.
