8/10 Good
"This is a good hotel if you are wanting to stay centrally in Oban. The main hotel building has a modern feel. It's also one of the few places centrally with it's own parking, although you have to pay a nightly supplement. Just a warning for anybody with mobility issues, that there didn't appear to be any lifts. Buffet breakfast available if you want, but there are also many other options locally."

"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"
