We love this day! The hotel was so cute and very convenient to walk around and explore the city. The parking was great and very easy to navigate. The bar was fantastic and would highly recommend people go there for a drink! Absolutely loved it.

Oban dud.

Booked a 2 night stay in a super tiny room. After the first night, we ended up finding another accommodation due to the size of the room and the fact that my husband couldn't sleep the first night. I now wish I had paid more attention to the postage stamp sized room review I looked at before booking this room. While clean and in a good location, beware of booking the super small rooms with a bathroom you'll be hitting your knees on the shower stall door when you use the restroom.

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.

This was a cute little hotel. It was clean, but a little worn. It was conveniently located and had a pay parking lot less than a block away.

I stayed two nights at The Whisky Vaults, Friday and Saturday. I checked in a bit late (20:30) and was easily accommodated with my room key and information. There was a grab-and-go breakfast bag left outside my door each morning filled with yogurt, water, pastry, cereal bar, and fresh fruit. My room had an electric kettle, tea, coffees, and hot chocolate as well as shampoo, shower gel, and a small bar soap. Everything was clean and cozy. Being near to the beer garden, it was a bit noisy in the evenings but that is to be expected. It was a lively fun atmosphere with live music and wonderful staff.

Nice stop for the night

There is no elevator and the stairs were a bit steep so beware that. The “wee pub” next to the larger pub is marvelous with a nice wood stove. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet pint in the wee pub. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had a nice soaking tub. Easy to walk to local sights.
