The manager was extremely helpful even organising tea and toast for us at 4am due to our business trip, rooms were nice and clean with tea/coffee, brilliant shower and comfortable bed. It has great views overlooking the harbour. Short walking distance to Oban centre, plenty of parking. Thanks for a calm and relaxing stay. Jill & Elgan

... but only if they remember. It was a shortish walk to the public car park for us instead. OK it turned out cheaper but with a heavy downpour in progress on arrival, it wasn’t much fun. The entrance certainly looks grand, but beware the steps are a little slippery when wet. The hotel is not far from the town... More

We had a great long weekend in this Hotel. While its not the Ritz, I did not pay the Ritz prices. It is in a great location, the views are fantastic with good food and value for money prices. Having only booked B&B we seen the menu in the hall which looked pretty good, so we asked how the price... More

We booked a 5 day holiday with National Holidays from 29 April 2013. We had a wonderful time at this hotel and the food was excellent. We upgraded to a sea view room and the views were stunning. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Our waitress was just lovely and so obliging. The Manager, Darren, was great... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in March with Shearings Coach holidays, we had a small attic room with ensuite facilities. Food was very good, nightly entertainment, excursions out, very warm in the lounges of an evening, hotel is a bit dated and floorboards very creaky, waitresses and waiters from Russia. Would stay here again.

Booked a Sheerings self drive for four nights in a superior sea view room - very reasonably priced and not a lot wrong with it for the money. The room was spacious with a superb view over the harbour and warm - when the electric heater had had time to thaw it out. The bathroom had been refurbished and was... More

we would not go anywhere else in Oban but the Great Western. A friendly welcome from staff who remember you from the last visit. Good food served by friendly and efficient staff. Rooms cleaned daily and clean towels if needed. AND it will be even better next time as I hear some rooms and the dining room are getting a... More

Travelled Citylink/Western Motors very comfortable! Had a seaview room which had plenty of storage and comfortable bed.It was clean with very good room maid (Luba). Food was good/ok and service very friendly and efficient. Entertainment was good especially Sat with James Knight - it was bad manners for some guests to walk out within 20 seconds of him starting! Bar... More

Just returned from a five day break with Shearings and I can honestly say that I have never been to such a terrible hotel. The fabric of the building was extremely tatty (curtains shredded and wallpaper peeling from the walls).The food was mostly inedible (breakfast was fair), but evening meals were disgusting. We had a competition with the table next... More
