We booked this hotel specifically for the private spa. Ideally it would be a little more private but it was a lovely experience overall.

Anne

Liked: Cleanliness
It was comfortable and the dinner and breakfast was lovely. We had a dog and while the hotel was welcoming, our room was a very long way from the exit and also very small to accommodate a dog crate. Parking at the hotel is non existent unless you pay £20 per night for valet parking, which for a 4* hotel is unacceptable. In addition, the check-in process was painfully slow. Only one person on the desk and dozens of visitors waiting. The restaurant staff were mostly very nice, but some were quirky and over-familiar. Not a great impression for a 4* hotel. There is an amateurish feel about the Oban Bay Hotel. It trades on its seafront position along with many other similar mid-range hotels aspiring to 4* and falling short. It might have been once- not any more.

Initial impressions not good. I knew no parking on site, but drop off area chaotic. Steps to entrance and more steps and long way to lift (not sure how disabled would cope.) However staff friendly, room ok. Comfortable bed, decent breakfast and nice views of bay outside

Very poor value for money

Sorry to say I felt incredibly ripped off here. The decor was shoddy, the mattresses lumpy, the service lackadaisical. Litter and only instant coffee available in the room. Oh, and residents, incredibly, have to pay to use the spa which when you are paying over £200 a room is not what you expect.Good value is hard to find on the west coast of Scotland in August but really, I wish I’d gone to the Premier Inn.

Just an overnight - but in the price we paid we did expect a breakfast to be included (in fact we did think it was until confirmation came through)!
