Despite a fairly good review in Scotland The Best and a great location in the centre of Oban, this hotel was a huge let down. Tired interior, poor food, poor service, it takes more than some decent linen and towels to make a good hotel. I would try somewhere else.

Although the hotel was quite old, the beds and toilet were very clean. Carpet throughout the hallway was very worn in places. Dining room was very nice. Could have been a bit more choice on the menu for dinner but what we had was very good anyway. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were very attentive.

We booked a two night stay at the Oban Caledonian Hotel in May 2013, through a deal on Livingsocial (£99 for two nights B&B).

We only spent one night in the Caledonian Hotel. This has been a very grand hotel in Victorian and Edwardian times that retains facets of its former elegance.

My friend and I were with a large tour that ended up doing solo dinners because of a late ferry arrival. I picked the hotel as our spot thinking one... More

Stayed here for a night on 3rd May. Yes, this is an old hotel and may be a bit dated but it is also a charming one. Staff (reception and restaurant) were very friendly and the 2 waiters at dinner time went out of their way to help answer my questions. The dinner was fantastic and comes with a bottle... More

Spent 2 nights here last week and loved it. We've stayed many times before and each time has been great. We had an extremely large ocean view room with 2 tub chairs placed at the bay window so had a perfect view of the ferries and fishing boats leaving and returning to the harbour. Ok the floorboards are a bit... More
