Top St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

No17 The Promenade

8/10 Good

"Excellent boutique hotel. Welcome was fantastic. The Indian lady on reception was very welcoming. Unusual interaction with the waitress the following morning. Scolded for being 30 mins late for the time we said we would be down for breakfast. Told to sit at any table, chose a four seater. Was then asked to move to a cramped two seater, all of the four seater tables were available throughout the breakfast service. Very bizarre. Would stay again now we are prepared for the eccentric staff member."

Corran House Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely and the view was amazing"

The Scot

8/10 Good

"The room at the Scott was clean and comfortable. Location was very convenient and walkable to much of what Oban has to offer. It was the only property we stayed at during our highland tour that charged for parking. The only other minor inconvenience was we had to negotiate a couple flights of stairs to get to our room."

The Kelvin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great find, delightful experience. The staff were very helpful. There are very good fish restaurants in the village 😊👍"

Muthu Alexandra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very kindly, good brekfeast."

The Pierrooms

10/10 Excellent

"A little tricky to find as it’s under the restaurant, however it’s exactly as described small but perfectly formed. Check in is easy, any issues are resolved by ringing the contact number. Clean and very comfortable. Would use again and will definitely recommend."

The Great Western Hotel

8/10 Good

"A good hotel but thought a bit expensive needs new windows a bit drafty staff ok and food good."

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Oban Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to town with a great view"
