The room was very nice,could have done with a flat screen TV but it was nice,the breakfast was also nice. I have no complaints with this hotel, was good the... More

We arrived in Oban late afternoon with nowhere to stay; tried a few places and all 'booked up' - we needed a family room (2 adults, 1 child) and went into the Caledonian and they couldn't do enough to accommodate us - they didn't have a room ready but they looked to see what they could do and asked how...

We booked our room through Groupon deal and had to make do with only the only weekend that was left. Apparently every weekend was fully booked til end of March? Not sure about that. Our room was of a good size, although no sea view for us, however it was rather noisy being next to the lift. Breakfast was lovely... More

Our evening in Oban was a spur of the moment plan. We checked out a few other hotels on the sea front and some were cheaper and had nice rooms but none captured our heart as much as the room we were shown when we checked this one out. A corner room with 3 windows looking over to the ferry... More

I have stayed in this hotel several times as we have a dog. However this time we had to park in the town's railway station which is only three pound per night. We only stayed two nights, but this would mount up if people were staying longer. It wasn't the money in this case it was the inconvience of carrying... More

We stayed in the Caledonian Hotel on the 25th November for 2 nights using a "Group on" voucher. We have seen some comments that people using Group on do not get sea view rooms. This is not the case for us, we had a view of the harbour. The room was lovely with a large bathroom. We had problems with... More

Stayed here for just the one night whilst passing through Oban. Paid £55 for a single room, room was a good size, newly decorated and very clean! Only downside to the room was that the window which faced the street at the back of the hotel was so filthy that I literally couldn't see anything through it! Im guessing it... More
