We had a very nice overnight stay here. We were given a corner room with lovely views of the harbour and out to sea. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were lovely.

Stayed 16th November 2023

Booking No 497687. We booked these two nights following on from the previous booking so had the same room 112 throughout our stay, the room remained rather chilly due in part to the pretty old, large single glazed windows and the position of the only heat source in the room being badly placed, i.e. not in the main part of the room. It actually felt warmer in the corridor!! There were a couple of niggles in the otherwise beautiful bathroom too, plug in basin not working properly as water escaped all the time and shaving light not working.(reported at the time) Having said all of that we did enjoy our first stay away for some time, however, though I have already mentioned the breakfast arrangements for me were OK as I could pick and choose what I wanted, it was not so easy with the evening meals, choices for me (Gluten Free) were quite limited and a longer stay would have been quite difficult as half the choices were pasta/pizza options. That said I would still go there again perhaps in warmer weather and we have no complaints about the helpfulness of staff, who were all very pleasant during our stay. MS

Booking No 497686. We arrived late afternoon and were given our room number which we made our way to and found a pleasant room with view overlooking the inner bay at Oban town centre. Everything looked good and we were happy to find a bottle of wine in the room as promised, however the room was rather cold so we switched on the heater, then popped out for a wander around town and went for a meal at a nearby restaurant as we were not booked in for dinner that night. When we returned the room was still pretty cool and it did not warm up much more in the course of the evening. Breakfast was fine for me as a Coeliac as I was able to make my own choices, and we found all of the staff pleasant helpful and friendly without exception.

A lovely old hotel. Very disappointed with the buffet breakfast. Most of the items were cold. No eggs left and were not replaced. The hotel fire alarm went off at 2.20 and 2.45. We were up and dressed, it was a false alarm but we had to phone reception to find out. They should have phone every room that had guests. Sadly, we won't be returning.

We had a bad start with our stay. Had booked an upgraded seaview room for my other halves birthday. The room was awful with a view of the car park and very run down. After speaking to reception twice they didn't seem to be interested. Ended up contacting Myhotelbreak who were fantastic and managed to get us another room despite being told by reception there wasn't any available. We ate in the cafe Rio which was lovely and the staff were great. Breakfast was good. Buffet style but plenty of choice.

Had a lovely 2 night break at the Columba Hotel. Limited parking but managed to get the last of the 8 free spaces. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Paid extra for a sea view room, which I would highly recommend. Room was comfortable and always warm. Central position.Good value and would definitely go back.

Hotel is acceptable, but the bar area was not open, so you had to sit in the restaurant if you wanted a drink and there was no hotel lounge to relax in. The hotel restaurant was also open to the public.

We stayed on a DBB deal with room upgrade. The room was fab with a view over the waterfront to the ferry terminal, nicely apportioned with a very comfortable bed. The dinner was two courses from a set menu with a couple of options incurring a small supplement, we found the food to be very good.....the pakora was particularly tasty. There was a good choice at breakfast which is self service and although there were delays a couple of times for fresh items to come out of the kitchen, all the cooked food was hot and very tasty. The only negative was that there is very limited dedicated parking at the Hotel, so you have to use the local authority car park on the pier which is £1.00 an hour during the day , up to 6pm......this is across all the local car parks in Oban, except the one at the Corran Halls which is about a five minute walk from the Hotel, and is free until the end of March.....a handy tip from the tourist information office .All in all we had a very enjoyable stay at the Columba and will definitely be back.

Great central location, hotel a little dated but had everything required, comfy bed, room clean, staff friendly, rooms/ towels cleaned daily, tea/coffee facilities, smart tv. Breakfast really lovely. Restaurant ok, but would probably go elsewhere next time.

We have stayed in the Columba many times over the years. It is well situated for everything, we had a double sea view room which was spacious and clean. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice. Parking is limited but we were lucky to get one when we arrived and there is also a council car park beside it.

As always a lovely stay. Superb, attentive staff and an excellent dinner on our first night - much better than our dinner in Ee-usk the second night! We will be back! Our room usually has had a bath hence the score of just seven - we always there to work on a boat so a bath is real plus.

Our room was spotless with stunning views over the harbour. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and fresh. Dinner at night was tasty and warm although buffet breakfast did tend to be cold, it wasn't a problem for staff to microwave it. Only downside to this hotel is lack of parking. It's central position is ideal for exploring shops, pubs and restaurants. One of our party had an issue with a sewage type smell in their bathroom, when reported to reception we had to insist the room be freshened. The person on reception wasn't about to move or instruct another member of staff to address this problem, but eventually he attended to this complaint.
