10/10 Exceptional

Great location for transport hubs rail and ferry, friendly staff. Good with Gluten Free for Coeliac. Great location for shops and restaurants.
Tim, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They accommodated our group of four with one double bed and two single beds in the same room to avoid extra costs. I cannot say enough about the breakfast, which cost only 10 SBP per person. One hot menu choice and unlimited continental and drink choices included. I have found nowhere else that does that, at least on our Scotland trip. If your travels take you anywhere near Oban, book this hotel!
Joe, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A modern and snug stay in central Oban.

Very central location, in a small and snug building. Room was very clean, and had cards telling us who had cleaned our room which was a lovely personal touch. The room was very modern too. Staff were very helpful and accommodating, and very friendly. The bathroom shower had a fault but it wasn’t significant. Great price given the busy tourist season, smaller yet cosy spaces. 8/10.

Great location. Oban is very walkable. The shower was very small and there is no elevator but it met our needs. Safe and clean rooms.

2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Ranald is a small hotel located very close to the pier, which was convenient for us since we returned late from Mull and needed a place to stay before driving back to Cambridge. The receptionist was kind and helpful. The hotel does not have a restaurant, and the breakfast options were somewhat limited. Additionally, there is no lift, which was a bit inconvenient as I am recovering from a broken leg. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
