Fabulous

Great service, Chris made sure we were very well looked after. Going out of his way to ensure our stay was faultless

Great hotel in a very good location.
Lori, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Tiny rooms

Great location, tiniest of rooms and bathrooms. I think if we actually had a king bed, it would be fine, but since double was the only choice on Hotels.com, I would recommend going directly or choose another hotel.
Christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A clean place to stay if only staying briefly

Clean but there was a smell in the stairwell Breakfast was good, a yogurt, pastry, fruit and muesli bar. Parking was street parking and had to be paid. Bathroom very small
Esther, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool accommodation. However, it's a tiny room and bathroom. Only arrive with small luggage.

Would definitely stay again. Owner in sight and very friendly. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly! 10/10 highly recommend.
Penelope J, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a great location in the centre of Oban, with most of the places you would want to visit within walking distance. There is a convenient car park across the street if you need it. The building is old and full of character, which inevitably impacts on the accommodation - with some ingenious planning of the en-suite bathrooms, but this is more than made up for by the Scottish welcome from the knowledgeable staff. Breakfasts are not included, but there is the offer a of a goodie-bag with pastry, drink and fruit, or plenty of places nearby. A plus is the whisky bar with its huge selection of whisky and changing whiskies of the day, somewhere to relax in the evening.
Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A charming hotel. Our room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The staff was helpful, and there was a great bar and beer garden on site. Plus, the hotel is very close to everything in Oban!

Loved it

We loved our stay at the Whisky Vaults.
Hazel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay here. It's right in the middle of the main shopping and dining area, and was the perfect location for us. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is very helpful. They don't do breakfast, but give each guest a little goodie bag each morning. The pub downstairs is lively and fun, but not too loud.
Mohi, 3-night trip

The whiskey selection is excellent and the bartender was very knowledgeable. The front bar was so cozy. Shopping within walking distance with some gift shops and a book store too.

Quaint stay in historical building. Great bar below with no noticeable noise impact. Walking to beautiful seaside town
Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was rather small but cozy and had everything we needed. Staff was friendly and informative. There is parking right across the street that was very easy to access and allowed you to pay in advance for overnight parking. Very close to the Main Street and beautiful views.
Theodore, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet because it’s on a back street and the bars are very well stocked with different types of alcohol. The bartenders are very helpful and knowledgeable.
