The Perle Oban is a wonderful small hotel. The rooms are very large and nicely furnished. The included breakfast was good. And, it is very conveniently located just across the street from the train station and in the heart of Oban. I highly recommend it.

The hotel and architectural style were excellent. The staff was as helpful as they could be. I liked the size of the room and the amenities in the room.
I feel that saying there is parking onsite in the information on the website is misleading. There were only 6 parking spaces available to all the guests staying at the hotel and it is on a first come first served basis. Not cool. Just don't say you have parking for guests because you really don't.
Also the hours of the spa are not meant to accommodate guests only staying for 1 night. The spa closes soon after check-in time and does not open until check out time. So if you think you will be able to enjoy this amenity with only a 1 night stay you will be disappointed like I was.

This is a beautiful property with nice rooms that are very clean. We were in a standard twin and though it was not enormous we had plenty of room for the two of us and our suitcases. If you have a lot of luggage you may consider asking for a larger room. If you are taking the ferry out to the islands, you cannot beat this hotel for the location. It is located directly next to the ferry terminal and in the heart of shops and restaurants. The hotel restaurant is excellent. We had dinner there the first night and it was absolutely delicious. I did not realize that we did not have breakfast included in our rate so that was a little annoying but we used local coffee shops and also the hotel restaurant and it all worked out. The only thing is if you don't plan on using the spa you might consider using another hotel and saving some dollars. We got into too late the first night to take advantage of the 30 min complimentary time in the spa and got back too late from our excursion the following day too. So that amenity went to waste. Really not a big deal, I just wish I had known that the spa closed at 5:00 ahead of time so maybe we would have arrived earlier. Again, not really a big deal, just a little more than I might have spent if I had known. The location and restaurant made up for it. The hotel bar is open late and is a nice amenity after a long day of adventure. Oban is a charming seaside town with so much history and a beautiful waterfront and really can't be missed.

I was very disappointed with the facilities provided by the hotel to its paid guests. Occupants were not allowed to use the sauna and needed to book well in advance, and it's closed at 5pm, and if you are free in the evening, you don't have access to it. Also, it only allows you a 30-minute slot.

The stumbling block for this hotel is they have no parking, but there is long term public parking for $7.50 within a 3 minute walk. The hotel is what you would expect for a 4 star hotel, clean room, comfortable bed, good amenities, professional helpful staff and an excellent breakfast.

Only one gripe...we weren't told by either Expedia or the hotel that our booking included access to the Spa, so we didn't take anything suitable to wear for the sauna/steam room, so we were a bit disappointed with that, but everthing else was great, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed one night in Oban in our way from Inverness to Glasgow. A bit of a detour, but worth it. We booked last minute. The hotel has a superb view of the bay. Unfortunately we timed it with a large group of tourists staying there, and this seemed to have overwhelmed the staff a bit. We couldn't park in the hotel, and parked in the street overnight. That was ok. The staff accommodated that we could have breakfast earlier than the booked time. It was ok for one night stop, but maybe not more. Under different circumstances had the hotel not been busy with large group of tourists, I am sure the experience would have been much better.

Spacious, comfortable room. Staff need a few lessons in manners, attentiveness and dress code.
Breakfast okay, nothing to write home about. Staff wore jeans, trainers and blouses, not quite what I would have expected. One member of staff in breakfast room rather rude. We ordered breakfast both without sourdough toast and asked for brown toast separately. Breakfast arrived served on top of brown toast, not separate as requested. I said we had asked for it separate and she went to take plate away. I said just to leave it and bring toast separately. She returned with one slice in a toast rack. I said I had requested toast for 2 on the side. She grabbed the toast rack and said if you tell me what you want I will get it. Strange I thought I already had!
Had requested a room with bath in message to hotel prior to arrival. None available but not even acknowledged by Receptionist, just said none available.
At checkout we weren't asked how our stay was, but did offer have a nice day as we were leaving.
Such a shame, as this used to be our go to Hotel in Oban since it first opened, but that is definitely our last visit

Arrived late, but the hotel had a lot of inventory so room selection should have been no problem. The front desk staff gave us our room key (room was assigned earlier in day, as far as we could tell).

Room was tiny! It was also on the main road side of the hotel, so we couldn't sleep with road noise, traffic, drunk people on streets, etc. If it was peak season, I'd understand ending up in a room like this. But the hotel had ALOT of empty rooms, so maybe management should think about how they assign rooms at low inventory times of year.

While there is a lift to each floor -- there are also stairs on each floor that have to be used to access about half of the rooms. For those with disabilities, make sure they put you in one of the rooms on the level with the elevator.

There was a nice lounge/bar attached to hotel.
Amenities were super nice.

Breakfast looked like standard hotel fare (cereal and eggs) - we went around the corner to a nice cafe for breakfast.

The Junior suite was lovely with wonderful views across the bay, comfy chairs, clean bathroom and sumptuous bed, with good quality linen.
The food in the restaurant was outstanding, we sent our thanks to the chef.
We enjoyed the Spa on our first afternoon but when I went to organise a massage for the next day I was told by that the area would be closed.
This was a shock, it has not been mentioned by any member of staff when I phoned prior to our stay, nor was it stated when we booked the thermal area for our first afternoon.
One of the reasons we had booked the Perle was because it had the Spa. The next morning we spoke with reception about the problem and voiced our concern. Once we were back in the room we had a call from reception telling us the area would be available after all. This was excellent service. It altered our view of the hotel as it was dealt with so promptly and made us determined to return.
All the staff were helpful, efficient and charming, from housekeeping and reception, to bar and restaurant staff.

The room was clean tidy and well equipped. As we are british we drink tea and the room has two tea bags.... I know you can get them from reception but quite frankly its poor.
We had drinks in the bar prior to eating out with our friends and the bar prices I felt were very reasonable and were cheaper than the restaurant we ate in. However the bar staff (young man) spent most of his time chatting to other members of staff rather than mannin the actual bar. He was polite and courteous but need to pay attention to waiting customers.
Breakfast was as usual superb I hate the tea pots I would prefer simple ones with tea bags and the toast should be brought with the breakfast.
