Great wee hotel full of character and history

Excellent little hotel.
Monty, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 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.

Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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 Excellent

In a great location in the centre of Oban, with most of the places you would want to visit within walking distance. There is a convenient car park across the street if you need it. The building is old and full of character, which inevitably impacts on the accommodation - with some ingenious planning of the en-suite bathrooms, but this is more than made up for by the Scottish welcome from the knowledgeable staff. Breakfasts are not included, but there is the offer a of a goodie-bag with pastry, drink and fruit, or plenty of places nearby. A plus is the whisky bar with its huge selection of whisky and changing whiskies of the day, somewhere to relax in the evening.
Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
LETITIA, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

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

8/10 Good

Our party included two couples in separate rooms. One room was comfortably sized, the other rather small including the bathroom space. Condition was good for an older property.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was clean but very, very small. I mean tiny. There’s no place to lounge in the morning since the small seating area by the bar is closed.
CLARA, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel had a great location, very clean rooms and the lounge was fantastic.
