Top St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Muthu Oban Regent Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean affordable hotel with excellent staff"

The Scot

8/10 Good

"Hotel was very nicely laid out and staff friendly. Onsite parking provided, at a cost of £10 per day. It would have been nice if this was made clear at time of booking. Problem with TV. I had to fully reset and retune to enable it to operate. Reception staff did try, but were too busy (and probably under staffed) to spend time fixing. Suggest this is part of check list for hotel prior to new guests. Wi-Fi not the best managed to get 2 bars at best. Room noisy in morning as hotel is on busy road entering Oban. Tip would be request room at rear of hotel. We did not have breakfast as Oban has an abundance of cafes, and we have limited appetites in the morning."

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Perle Oban Hotel & Spa! The location is perfect, right in the heart of town and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and pubs. We especially loved watching the fishing boats and ferries coming and going in the harbor. Our room was very comfortable, and the hotel was a wonderful home base for exploring Oban. We would happily stay here again!"

Muthu Alexandra Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was good but could have done with some place to hang wet coats and a safe preferably big enough for a laptop. Staff were pleasant and helpful Breakfast was plentiful, hot and tasty. Personally I would have preferred either bigger cups or a teapot but that’s my personal preference. Parking was limited. We parked in front of the hotel but didn’t use our car for the whole time we were there, so don’t know if there was any other parking places available. Altogether a nice place with excellent views over the bay."
