Very good room allocated to us overlooking harbour with an excellent rate, thank you. We only had a continental breakfast at 06.00 which was given to us with a smile, hence I did not give any food rating.

Didn't like the room that we were given and bed very uncomfortable. On discussing this with the receptionist the following morning we were immediately offered to be moved to another room without any hastle.

Hotel is in a great location in the centre of Oban with views over the harbour. We had a huge room with great views and a modern bathroom. Staff (especially Pooja and Vikray who were excellent) were really helpful and couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable. Food was basic perhaps just not to our taste although breakfast was fine.

First time at the Columba Hotel. We were made very welcome and were met by very friendly staff. We had a minor problem with our shower but the Duty manager dealt with it quickly and efficiently. Room was spotless and food was very nice also. We will definitely go back.

Bedroom sqeaky floorboards, stained carpet, lumpy old mattress, clean, a screw to turn on shower, stained toilet bowl, barely working flush, no handle on toilet brush. Not quite what I thought a superior room would be, decor mix of modern and old. Service not really very good - receptionist seemed irritated that we arrived to interupt her conversation lack of warm welcome, 'waiter' in restaurant was lacking in service industry skills no eye contact, no showing you to your seats or even giving a choice as restaurant was empty, the slaming down if drinks and general lack of care, felt very amateurish and it seemed like he was doing everything barman/waiter/chef and as for the dreadful music at dinner it was grating and could not wait to leave. Breakfast seem the opposite to dinner 5 staff to serve tea seemed excessive and we felt like we were on display as they all stood chatting waiting on other guests to arrive. Food breakfast was fine quite average buffet style was good everything was hot including all the metal tongs so you did need asbestos hands to lift out your food. Dinner was interesting not quite my type sort of thing, pate was nice oatcakes were nice although would have liked more than 2 salad was ok. Not quite sure why very strong pesto was then poured over the already tasty pate leaving oatcake soggy also not quite sure the purpose of the red currant jelly either. The vegetables with the mainmeal were lovely fresh and well cooked. Salmon was overcooked and had a strange sauce which did not add anything to the flavour, for us the food was quite a let down so although booked in 2 nights Dbb we opted to eat out on our second night. Felt the cost of 2 nights DBB were quite high for amidweek break given the overall standard of things, that said could nit fault the cleanliness in the hotel.

Hotel beedrooms lovely but, entrance to hotel needs work done to make it presentable. also hallways carpets not nailed to floor ect a bit dangerous. Staff at all times were exellent and made you feel very welcome . Dinner i thought could be better, choices were not very good and the cooking of them could be better, Breakfast was good and again staff very helpful.

The room itself was clean, with a new modern bathroom, unfortunately anyone having a shower in another room caused horrendous noise in our room. We got the sea view we asked for and the staff were pleasant. The hall needs upgrading especially the carpet and the bar needs a complete revamp. My main annoyance was the quality of the food, it was appalling, mainly frozen produce which was of poor quality and small portions, breakfast was better although never asked if we wanted eggs done differently or if we wanted more tea or coffee, unfortunately due to this would not return on a DB&B break again, really dissapointing.

The room was clean but very basic the mattress was thin, poor quality and uncomfortable. Evening meal menu was very restricted and basic, we did not eat there the second evening even though we had paid for it. The breakfast was low quality fare.However at least the staff were friendly and helpfull

Our personal forest choice when visiting Oban first class staff rooms and food. Always made to feel very welcome like visiting old friends. Perfect location for entire town. Always desperate to return.
