Twin room - This was spacious and comfortable and had an en-suite. Would describe this as a hostel rather than a guest house. There is no hospitality tray in room and breakfast is self-service. Having the kitchen is a plus if you want to self-cater. Everything very clean. Staff at main reception were helpful.

spent two nights here in Oban in June. 2026. absolutely loved this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat. It's a very old building but the rooms have been renovated beautifully keeping the charming old features. pro tip. try to book room 6. it has amazing views and an ensuite. being an older pub hotel, you do get a private bathroom, but it is separated from your room by a few feet In a lot of the rooms. It's only a 5-minute walk to downtown Oban. make sure you go to the docks and get a huge serving of mussels fresh off the boat for £8. at a little green Shack right on the dock. They have a fully equipped kitchen downstairs. what I loved was the fact that for a very reasonable price you could buy food such as eggs, bread, yogurt, etc. for just a few pounds. They also had two fridges for customers to use. the staff were absolutely lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be staying the next time we go to Oban. which we will because we absolutely loved the town.

Conveniently located facing the ocean right in downtown Oban, so the whole town was within walking distance once we got settled. Comfortable room with parking right next door, and we enjoyed dinner at the pub right in the hotel, watching one of the FIFA matches. Slept well here and had a hearty continental breakfast the next morning. Would recommend!

The views across to the sea and the mountains are fantastic and the property is only a 15 mins walk from the ferry or the train station. Excellent bar but the accommodation is amazing. Lovely little en suite room with sea view and the cleanest bathroom ever. It is a big surprise to find a serve yourself breakfast dining room with an honesty box or pay in advance. Fantastic. Thank you to the staff, very helpful and friendly.

We stayed in the guest house. The shared kitchen was fantastic. The house is full of of character and beautiful and is just a quick walk from town. Bus stop just across the street. We shared a bath with just one other room 25 &9. The bathroom had a code to get in. But the lock inside didn't work. I always knocked before and listened for the shower. Made my partner a little uncomfortable.
It is over an hour bus ride from Fort William. Beautiful town.

Location is wonderful with a setting right on the waterfront. Community kitchen is likely helpful for many travelers. That being said, pay careful attention to whether you have a private bathroom in your room as not all do. We had issues with plumbing in our room that were not resolved during our stay. And bummed that we were told to have live music Fridays and Saturdays in the pub below but it wasn’t happening the Friday night we were there.

I had a twin en-suite. Which I’m grateful for. En suite was well appointed, appears recently refurbished and clean. Room also was nice. Check in routine is odd. Don’t bother turning up short while before the allotted check in time. You will just be corralled and kept in the bar - where strangely you have to check in, instead of the hotel itself - until 3pm check in.
Which is really awakeard if you have large bulky luggage. I saw a number of other confirmed or prospective guests visibly annoyed about lack of [getting] service up in the hotel reception area. And you’ll likely feel obliged to buy a drink or two. Also, don’t believe if you are told you won’t hear the music from the basement bar because “rooms aren’t directly over the bar”. You will. Until 1am, most nights. (For reference I was room 3, lowest one on stairwell). But Staff are friendly and helpful enough though which is always nice. And Oban as a location always helps offset these accommodation oddities to some degree.

Great location, great price. No lift, so be prepared for lugging luggage up stairs. The bar downstairs is rowdy and the bass from the music bleeds up into the floors even a couple flights up. Bring ear plugs to try to still get sleep. I think it only lasted until 2ish in the morning.

Otherwise great accommodation. It was helpful to have a common area kitchen available for use.

Comfortable beds. Enough outlets. Clean bathroom. Ability to turn off the heating (October visit) as it was initially warm in the room.

No washcloths but large towels, bath mat, and hand towel was provided.

Easy pay and display parking right next door.

Great location and great staff. The room was incredibly clean and had great views in the midst of Storm Amy of the waves etc.
When shutting the shower door, one side of the glass completely shattered. Obviously very embarassing as it's a sliding bi folding door so impossible to slam etc.
The lady working on reception immediately moved us to a different room and contacted a first aider. The first aider cleaned up the small cuts on my feet and was just incredibly lovely given how mortified i was.
We didnt actually hear the bar at all in our room. We did have a drink there and the staff were all very friendly. Would definitely come back, all of the staff are amazing.

Loved the location and view of the bay. Room and bed were fine. Handy that they had a pub/restaurant at street level. Would have been nice if they had a sheet explaining how the self-serve breakfast/kitchen worked (what was provided, what could be purchased nearby?). We did some exploring and figured it out, but it's details like that, that make a strong positive impression on guests. Building's interior finishes and decor need some freshening up, bathroom shower was tight quarters.

This is a waterfront property. We had a room with a private bathroom and the view of the loch. Gorgeous picture to wake up to. Bar downstairs did not bother us at all even we slept with open windows ( no air conditioning). Room was clean and bigger than in some European hotels we stay. Staff is friendly. The communal kitchen downstairs has refrigerators for guests and fully equipped. Also it is fridge with a food you can buy. The only negative experience is someone decided to smoke at 5 am right under our window (front door of the house) and smoke went directly to our room. But I can’t blame hotel for it.

My friend was not with us when I received the door code and did not know she needed one. The gentleman who checked us in was incredibly rude to her about this when she went to the main building to get the rest of her bags to bring them to our room in the building next door.

Corran House is a very basic establishment at the north end of the downtown.
The rooms are average, but comfortable. There is no lift, so you'll have to carry luggage up to your room. We did not take the breakfast as it was priced ala carte for pretty standard packaged muffins and items and honestly, guests are asked to wash their own crockery and utensils. We went to a coffee shop in town.
There are two adjoining buildings and we were not in the one over Markie Dans so no complaints about noise. The carpark is literally right next door to the buildings and only 1 pound per hour so very reasonable (and free after 6pm and before 9pm).
we were able to walk along the esplanade or main shopping street in 10-15 minutes through the town with no problems, and it's a very pleasant walk.
