Great Western Hotel, Oban

Stayed 18th February 2023

Hotel in need of some TLC but that aside, it was clean, comfortable and suited our needs. The staff were amazing. The Receptionist and Manager were so friendly, welcoming and very helpful. For that alone we would definitely book again.

Excellent location , very friendly staff . Our room was lovely (29) twin with a sea view . The room was spacious and very cozy with all essentials supplied (tea/coffee/sugar/milk ) and even a small packet of biscuits each . Very much appreciated The breakfast was beautiful, scrambled eggs were exceptional. The 3 course dinner was also very nice .

Stayed 11th November 2022

We enjoyed our stay - spacious room, friendly staff and a really good value DBB deal. We will stay again. Some thoughts perhaps we should have communicated to the hotel direct: Suitcase stand(s) in the room would have been useful TV for background music with adverts during dinner was irritating Lamp on desk/dressing table needed Glasses, even plastic, should be provided in the room

Brek was ok but hotel getting a bit tired .also had probs with both gas and electrics while we were there.

Stayed 21st October 2022

Was in a superior room. Good size with great views over the bay. Comfortable bed and pillows. Buffet style self service at breakfast. Sufficient tasty warm food from bain marie's. Evening meals were not the best we have had. Quality seems to have slipped from the many previous visits we have had here. No entertainment on the friday night we arrived. Saturday entertainment I felt was very good in the shape of a guitarist/singer Basil Forsgrieve. Feel that the option offered by Myhotelbreak of meal only on first night is not value for money. Other companies appear to offer meals on all nights of their weekend breaks !? and on cheaper tariffs. How come??

The staff at the hotel made ourselves and our dog feel very welcome, the room was good apart from the carpet which needs a good clean,as it is a pet friendly room we get charged £10. per pet per night so that the room gets a deep clean after each visit, unfortunately they have missed room 23, we will go back again as the staff made our weekend.

We had a fabulous time in Oban given the rough weather that was forecast, hotel on arrival was met with very pleasant and polite staff who explained everything. Alas as we entered the room we were kind of disappointed...so where do i start... the fact that it is an old building i can understand some issues like creaky floors in the corridors and sloping floors in the room (poor attempt to right this with beer mats under the bedside cabinet). The roller blind in the bathroom was missing its chord which was lying on the window sill so i had to pull it down manually at night but could not put it back, the mat to stand on in the shower was mouldy, as for the windows (old sash and case) in need of a little TLC as because of the wind Friday night it was impossible to sleep with the wind howling through a gap somewhere. So an early hours investigation found that the glass on the top half of the window did not bed into the frame which left a gap of 5mm (toilet roll to the rescue and jammed it in the gap). As for the shower we did not use it (washed at the sink) as when running the shower i noticed the tray was filling up and almost to the point of overflowing as the water wasn't draining quick enough...so that was abandoned. I did not complain to staff about any issues as we thought due to the hotel being busy we would probably have been landed with a room at the back somewhere. As for the meals i cannot fault them, breakfast (self service) but ample choice of hot or cold food, dinner we did not like the menu on arrival so staff re-arranged for us to have the dinner on the second night...on the second night we were informed that the menu had not been changed on the first night (sigh) and left us with the predicament of the night before....but staff let us order from the a la carte menu to the cost of included dinner and any difference would be settled on departure (thanks for that)....so once again apart from the little issues encountered we had a lovely time and took some good photos of the area.

Stayed 23rd September 2022

Had a lovely stay. Sea view room what's not to like. Enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast although surprised no blackpudding or haggis on offer at breakfast!

Stayed 24th July 2022

Sorry not impressed with this hotel. Very run down and certainly not worth anywhere near what we paid for it. I really think you shouldn’t have this hotel on your list. It definitely puts me off booking with you again. Such a shame I don’t get away a lot and was so looking forward to it .

Stayed 16th July 2022

Hotel needs a desperate make over. Dampness everywhere. Carpets a total disgrace. This Hotel should never be open to the public to book. If this is the standard of hotels you want to advertise then I certainly won't be booking with My hotel breaks again. It was only because we were given a hotel voucher that we booked through this company. Over priced accommodation

Stayed 17th July 2022

Fantastic location, lovely hotel. If you can book a sea front view. Staff very very friendly and helpful.

Stayed 22nd April 2022

We arrived at the hotel and went to our room and found out the bed was broken on arrival of entering so we went down to the reception and they were quickly to resolve the problem and upgraded our room to a sea view

Stayed 31st March 2022

Stayed 25th March 2022

Stayed 17th February 2022

Stayed 8th February 2022

Warm welcome on arrival. Comfortable room. Food was excellent. All staff were very friendly and efficient. Overall excellent value for money.

Stayed 17th December 2021

Clean, comfortable room; friendly, helpful staff; perfectly decent buffet breakfast and a good evening meal (three courses) included in package. Front-facing first floor room, above the lounge area, can be noisy in evening if musical entertainment in full swing, but does not last unreasonably long (and it was a weekend). Menu choice is currently limited, but understandable under current challenging cirstances. The hotel decor is a wee bit tired, with ongoing re-decor in evidence. Hotel parking is currently £6.00 per day, but there is free parking close by at Corran Hall. All-in-all, a decent value-for-money stay in a well-located hotel with good staff.

Had a nice break in Oban.The hotel is a bit tired creaky floors and windows needing replaced but the view from our room made up for these failings.

Staff were very friendly and helpful on the telephone before our arrival and throughout our stay at the hotel. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable and the buffet breakfast was fresh and empty dishes refilled quickly. We enjoyed our one night stay at the hotel.

Stayed 10th October 2021

Great hotel. Staff were very helpful especially Amy on reception. Covid measures were evident. Good value for money. Had a sea view room. Only minus was parking were there was a bit of confusion with guests parking in bays assigned to other people. Would recommend .
