What guests think

Travellers describe The Perle Oban Hotel & Spa as a central harbourfront base with warm staff and comfortable rooms, many with sea views, while noting the characterful old building brings trade-offs like small bathrooms, occasional street noise, and creaky features.

Breakfast and dining are frequently praised, though several guests report delays, inconsistent quality, and high prices at times. Facilities draw compliments for the lounge/bar and compact thermal spa, but there is no on-site parking and the lift is small and has occasionally been out of service. Rooms are generally clean and well equipped, yet a few reviews mention stained carpets, tired decor, or spotty Wi-Fi. Expect a convenient, scenic stay with modern comforts in a historic building.

This hotel is need a little glamour lift on the outside, the location is spectacular, the staff excellent, so clean you could eat off the floor, food is great with an eclectic variety, and I cannot praise it enough. Lovely interior, speed check-in, wonderful bar/lounge and the locarion is great. The elevator is small so travel light or beware if you have claustrophobia.

The hotel was right next to train station food was lovely and room was very clean But was very disappointed on the hotel bar closing at 10.30 fir 11 we walked in after being out fir nice meal thought we head back to hotel fir few drinks but the barman served us saud the bar was closing e had one drink when the backing music switched off barman had his jacket on left at 11 Porter on the door I must say what a waste as the lounge is done up lovely too so we were very disappointed and for that reason we won’t be back as we like to head back to our hotel at night just chill out in the lounge

Excellent location on the waterfront. Be sure to get a sea view room or otherwise the view could be of the back which faces the alley. Facility is old and tied and could use a refresh. The spa area which has a sauna, steam room, and heated lounge chair is a nice space.

Wonderful location in Oban for a visit. Central to the local shopping, restaruants, the distillery, train and ferries. The service and hotel itself were also very nice. I would certainly choose it again if visiting Oban. The only minus was the lack of parking, but it was very easy to find affordable parking nearby.

We like the room and the location and there were many positives to do with this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the restaurant was clean and had very good food and the wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The only thing we didn't like about the room was that the carpet was stained and looked dirty. It should have been changed at some point because it just did not make a good presentation. But everything else was on to our satisfaction.

The ladies at the front counter were wonderful. The decor in the breakfast room/restaurant was gorgeous. The porridge made by the Sous chef was amazing! The bad. The pillows in our room were shameful, hard as a rock and looked old. It was very noticeable that door surfaces on the main floor hadn't been cleaned in a while. The shower pan almost flooded everytime we showered.

In particular we would like to mention how supportive and professional reception staff were throughout our stay.

Stayed in one of the junior suites, which was nice if not a little tired looking and in need of fresh decoration / touch up as there were numerous marks on the walls.

Pros - The room was lovely, bed was nice and soft, breakfast was amazing and staff were courteous and pleasant. Cons - draughty windows, rooms could do with replacement windows or secondary glazing. WIFI was spotty and TV, which relies on the WiFi, didn’t work very well. For the money it is a decent hotel but I’ve had better for less. Bar staff need to be more careful when serving guests as barman dripped hot tea on my wife’s leg whilst delivering it to our table.

Lovely older, but updated, hotel very convenient to everything in Oban. The only issue was the bathroom. Understanding that rooms and bathrooms were designed by the building, but the bathroom was small. The door had to be opened or closed fully to move into the bathroom. Also the shower was small and if you are a larger person you cannot get into or out of the shower opening. Other rooms did not have this issue. Having said this, we would stay here again if/when we return to Oban.

Just about everything was great. Had an unfortunate experience at the Bistro on site for breakfast when the kitchen was shorthanded and the waitstaff did not advise of delays until we got up to find someone to ask - 40 min after ordering - when our food might arrive. Poorly trained waitress was dismissive/defensive rather than being informative/hospitable. It really stood out because we enjoyed such good service throughout our 2 weeks around Scotland at all manner of establishments. Hotel was very good but skip the breakfast if you have any plans for the day!

I am diabetic and my blood sugar crashed, my daughter ran down to get a coke from the bar and she wasn’t sure if they were open at the time and the same desk staff was of no help, thankfully my daughter saw that the bar was open and they were more than helpful.

The room was clean tidy and well equipped. As we are british we drink tea and the room has two tea bags.... I know you can get them from reception but quite frankly its poor. We had drinks in the bar prior to eating out with our friends and the bar prices I felt were very reasonable and were cheaper than the restaurant we ate in. However the bar staff (young man) spent most of his time chatting to other members of staff rather than mannin the actual bar. He was polite and courteous but need to pay attention to waiting customers. Breakfast was as usual superb I hate the tea pots I would prefer simple ones with tea bags and the toast should be brought with the breakfast.

Be aware that there is no parking at the hotel. We found a space at the train station, almost across the street and it is just £3 a day. We chose a room with a water of you, and we’re so glad we did!

Room first class, very clean, everything you need. Unfortunately breakfast as last year was really disappointing. Thought we would try again. Scrambled egg was like an omlette, full breakfast was clearly reheated and still not warm. Cost us £30, what a waste of money. Shame as 2 years ago breakfasts were amazing. Cancelled breakfast on our second morning. Apart from this we had a lovely stay at the hotel. Reception, bar and breakfast staff were all very nice and cocktails amazing.
