Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.
The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.
Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.
Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.
As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

Oban is on a very pretty bay.
Oban is on a very pretty bay. It was really busy on a beautiful Saturday and the people were friendly and helpful. Coasters and EE-usk accepted us for food/drinks with no reservations!
We did not get there early enough to explore the attractions.
The train station and ferry terminal were very efficient and helpful.
We discovered a choir and orchestra concert which was a real treat!

Oban is a delightful seaside town that offers very good restaurants, shopping (small shops with nice merchandise) and the ability to enjoy the beauty of the bay and all of its activity. Oban makes a great base for exploring the area of walks/hikes, going out on small boat short duration trips to see wildlife, lots of castles to visit or to take the ferry out to the islands. Taxi service is plentiful as are private tour guides.

Bustling little port at centre of Highland area, ferries to outer and inner islands. Train station if no car, plus reasonable bus service to places of interest, eg. Dunstaffnage Castle and Oceanic research facility at Dunbeg etc. Try a ferry visit to Mull and look out for seals , dolphins, etc.
Excellent shops and restaurants, all in small scale and within easy walking distance.
Lots of points of interest and if weather nice, very hard to beat. Great for Families with young children and Oldies as well.

GORGEOUS little port town.
GORGEOUS little port town. Lots of lovely little shops, an interesting war time museum, and excellent food and drink in the numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants. Easy access to travel by bus, ferries, and trains.
Walked (some of us VERY SLOWLY!) up the hill to McCaig's Tower and enjoyed the spectacular views; followed by a delicious late lunch at Cuan Mor.

Lovely walk to ganavan sands and brilliant visit to castle and gardens. Walk around harbour with option to have local seafood. Amazing local pubs with folk music in town centre. Fish n chips nearby excellent. Close to public transport and shops.
Nothing., the hotel was a disgrace, if I were booking.com I would remove it from the site. Among other stuff there was a rentakill box under the bed with a dead slater beside it, we spoke to the owner but total waste of time. He would not refund us .so we moved to another hotel and lost half of our money ,but no way were we sleeping in that we had our friends with us so two room,s were booked for £237 ridiculous. Booking.com at least refunded someI .would stay well clear of this Hotel.
Daniel (the owner) was exceptionally helpful with recommendations for places to go (Dunstaffnage Castle). David was very knowledgeable about local whiskies, supplementing our tour of the Oban distillery nicely (they have an excellent selection in the wee bar at Manor House). And the food was fabulous. We came here after the Balmoral Hotel (Edinburgh) and had a better experience at the Manor Hotel!
We travelled by train to Oban so picked the property because of its closeness to the railway station. We stayed in the apartments (separated from the hotel only by a few metres) and location proved to be excellent! It is also only one street back from high street and next to an excellent pub. Apartment was roomy, light and on first floor. Would certainly recommend to friends.
We liked the peaceful location , but it was still close enough to the town centre. The apartment had tasteful decor and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Immaculate. It was so nice to have the kitchenette, compared to being in a hotel, with people coming and going all the time etc.
Was a real treat. Home from home. Free parking spot too, rare in Oban!
Such an incredible, unique property with a rich history and incredible location in the Highlands! rhe hotel has gorgeous decor and is in an idyllic setting close to Oban town center. It’s run by the sweetest family that went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for our honeymoon and to ensure we were comfortable during our stay!
It was nice to get the buffet breakfast back, though we had to pay for the breakfast.
Next time we'll be booking direct through the hotel so the breakfast will be included in the room rate.
We have been coming to Oban at least twice a year over the last 10 or more years and have always stayed at Columba hotel.
The staff have been so helpful my daughter had an accident in the hotel and staff were fantastic they got a first aid person to her and couldn't do enough. The room we were given after the mix up was beautiful and lovely and clean. The food is good we would stay again as it is very close to Oban
Central to everywhere. Apartment was well kepted beautiful place. Shop food travelling fight on your door step. Been going to Oban for over 10 to 12 years stayed in most hotels never thought of an apartment before . But am glad this time as it was home away from home beautiful place .
Staff were friendly and very helpful on arrival. Room was lovely, clean and well presented. Bathroom very clean and modern. Great to be able to open windows.
Reasonable price for overnight parking in the off-site carpark behind the hotel.
Location was stunning over looking the loch, only a short drive from Oban. The hotel was very tasteful decorated with cosy sitting rooms overlooking the loch. The staff were warm and welcoming offering tips on local drives and stories .
The owner came to greet us as soon as we parked and was friendly and informative. The room was clean and comfortable with good facilities and very quiet. The hotel was in easy walking distance from the shops and resaurants in Oban.
The Eggs Benedict were superb and the Bar service was exceptional! I can't remember being that comfortable in a hotel ever, Well done Perle Oban I will be back!
