What guests think

At The Scot, travellers highlight a central, walkable location near the harbour, distillery and ferries, clean modern rooms with comfortable beds and strong showers, and friendly, accommodating staff, making it a convenient base for exploring Oban and onward travel.

Some rooms are compact with tight showers, and street-facing rooms can be noisy; a few guests also missed fridges or found pillows and mattresses not to their liking. There is no lift and the stairs can be challenging with luggage, parking spaces can feel limited, and late-evening staffing is reduced. Breakfast is generally well reviewed though a minority found it basic or overpriced, and there's no on-site dinner service. Expect a clean, comfortable, central base that suits most travellers seeking convenience over frills.

There is a bar on the property that was loud on the last night of my stay. There is only a small parking lot in the back . That allows for about eleven vehicles And it is gravel so hard to wheel your luggage. Also there is no elevator and narrow stairs, made it hard to get my luggage up to the room.

Located on a busy street, so noisy. There is no elevator, even though the hotel is of modern construction! Have to haul your bags up to the 2nd or 3rd floor. so NOT advisable for older folks. Front desk is only manned till 9PM. After that, there is no one to help you with any problem you may have - just numbers to call. Too minimalist for the price and for me to recommend to anyone.

Nice attempt to revive old rooms, great bathroom upgrades and clean and comfortable overall. The public areas and walls in the rooms are desperate for a coat of paint. The staff were transactional on check in and hard to find on check out, just left the keys after waiting 20 mins. Good location, easy parking and would stay again.

I have some mobility issues with stairs. Everything else is super comfortable. Excellent water pressure, soft fluffy towels, big wonderful bed and bedding.

The receptionist Laura was very very helpful in arranging tickets for the ferry to Iona. She printed the tickets and then felt she had made a mistake and printed another set and put them in our room while we were out. Then she came to the room to confirm everything when her shift ended. Super service!

There are rather odd rules at this hotel. You need to book a specific slot for breakfast, even though it was buffet style. No staff were around to point out that it was self-service, we had to figure it out ourselves. The rather soulless bar (no draught beer) closed early and we were asked to vacate the lounge seating area at 11pm - even though we were not expecting any 'service' - we were just chatting with friends over a nightcap. There is no lift, and no help is given with luggage - I had to help an older fella with his bags. So, all in all, a rather soulless hotel, devoid of any real service. I wouldn't go back

I'm a light sleeper so being on the front street I heard the patrons from the pub across the way the 2 nights we were there (husband slept thru). The back rooms might be a better option if your like me.
