Lovey charming old building, decorated really sympathetically to highlight its age and charm. Staff were friendly and helpful, room very comfortable slept well. Thank you for a lovely trip.
Jane, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Tiny rooms

Great location, tiniest of rooms and bathrooms. I think if we actually had a king bed, it would be fine, but since double was the only choice on Hotels.com, I would recommend going directly or choose another hotel.
Christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot; centrally located. Small but clean. Did the job I needed.
Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A clean place to stay if only staying briefly

Clean but there was a smell in the stairwell Breakfast was good, a yogurt, pastry, fruit and muesli bar. Parking was street parking and had to be paid. Bathroom very small
Esther, 2-night trip

Great wee hotel full of character and history

Friendly welcoming staff. Small clean and friendly hotel close to the centre of Oban and all amenities.
Campbell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice stop for the night

There is no elevator and the stairs were a bit steep so beware that. The “wee pub” next to the larger pub is marvelous with a nice wood stove. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet pint in the wee pub. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had a nice soaking tub. Easy to walk to local sights.
PATRICIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent little hotel.
Monty, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quirky but neat place not for mobility challenged. Great access for walking in town and to restaurants, train and ferry.
Challenge to get the luggage up the twisty stairs but loved the carpet and ambiance.
Ian D, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and amazing staff. Just be prepared to park offsite and carry luggage up stairs. Other than that, the place had an amazing location and we had zero issues with sounds being right above a pub.
Alexander, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location and friendly staff. Very nice pub on site. Room was a postage stamp. Not recommended for 2 people. Shower/bathroom is so small, you need dry off in the actual room.
MARTIN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel in a very good location.
Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our experience was fabulous from beginning to end. We were able to check in on arrival, and the staff always offer to carry your bags. Property is in a perfect location and we adored the town. Parking is not free but it is reasonably priced and very convenient with the lot being across the street. Wonderful staff! Thank you so much!
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Whisky Vaults is a good choice for accommodations in Oban. It is convenient to restaurants, trains and ferries. Rooms are cozy and beds are comfortable. The building is historic and interesting. The staff is friendly and helpful. Totally charming overall. (Note no elevator but staff will help with luggage.)
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable, central, rooms above pub

We enjoyed our stay here in Oban. The room was very comfortable with a modern bathroom and furnishings. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a treat to have a pub downstairs with 150 bottles of whisky to sample!! The rooms are steps away from train/ bus/ ferry and restaurants. We would highly recommend the Vaults.

Great staff and the attached bar is fantastic,
Channen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An absolute gem, just can’t say enough good things about the hospitality here. The gentleman was so nice and helpful at checkin and throughout our stay. He called to make us dinner reservations, helped get the luggage in and helped us park. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property. Room is large and a true king sized bed!! Love it. High ceilings and whiskey right downstairs. Easy to walk to food and shopping and easy check in.
Laura, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Scary stairs, no lift

Third floor, spiral staircase, no elevator. Pre-booking information should give these warnings. We are 72 and 83 years old and had to take those stairs very slowly, holding onto the rail with two hands, to be sure to avoid falling. Breakfast service comes in a paper bag outside the door at 7:30. Rooms are drab. No washcloth provided. The hotel is a block away from the main shopping and dining street, and that possibly justifies the rate, but I cannot recommend this property to weary travelers.
This was taken from the landing at the top of the second level of the staircase. The man is over 6 feet tall.
Peggy, 2-night trip
