We had a great stay at the Whisky Vaults. I would say this was 60% due to the full property and 40% due to the hotel/room itself. Being in the Vaults was awesome. The location was great, the staff was outstanding, and the benefits of being within the community was the best. For instance we enjoyed the whisky tasting, and there was a gathering of local musicians who were playing together for several hours that was a great experience. The hotel room itself was a little small and not great for a tall traveler, but comfortable and clean. It had a small window overlooking the harbor that had a little view, but nice.

Had a lovely stay! In our minds an authentic scottish vibe with cosy rooms! Bed was comfy and it was great with the little bag you got upon arrival with a few items for the morning (cereal bar, apple and water). Enjoyed the bar and Oban overall!

If you love whisky or not this is the place to stay. The outside appearance does not do this accommodation justice. A very clean and comfortable room, if small ( we were in room 7). The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar staff have excellent whisky knowledge. The bar food was also very good. We would definitely stay again.

Great location adjoining the whisky vaults pub and near the train station, ferry port, restaurants, bars and shops. Cute room, compact but well decorated. Bathroom small but had a good shower. Kettle, tea and coffee plus shortbread included and a grab bag with pains au chocolat, cereal bars, fruit and water for breakfast. No storage for suitcases on site if you are not travelling straight after checking out, but west coast motors office near by, which is very close to station and ferry port, stores luggage for a very reasonable price.

With over 2 weeks in Scotland and staying 14 different places, I would recommend this property in Oban. It was centrally located, clean, and comfortable with large bed. The bathroom was small but very clean and I would not let this affect your decision unless you need a large bathroom. The breakfast bag was nice as well. Parking was cheap and on the road or across the street, but close. This place is around many restaurants and very close to Oban distillery. I really appreciate the cleanliness and convenience of this place if staying in Oban.

Cozy rooms, atmospheric decor, friendly staff, and a convenient location just around the corner from Oban Distillery. The on-site beer (and whisky) garden is a great amenity, and bar staff are very knowledgeable about what they’re pouring.
