In a prime location, right in the centre of the curving esplanade, just a pleasant walk from the shops and harbour, stands Oban's Great Western; a hotel proud of offering space and comfort, as well as magnificent views of the bay (remember to look out for those memorable sunsets!). Ideal for a relaxing holiday, the activity on the bay can simply be watched from the welcoming lounge and cocktail bar, while it's also an ideal touring centre. With Glencoe, serene lochs and the Western Isles on the doorstep, there's a myriad of sightseeing opportunities. And with coast and country walks, angling, sailing, diving, bird-watching and a whole host of other leisure pursuits at hand, you should never be at a loss for something to do.
The Hotel’s car park, which has limited space is located at the front of the building. If full, alternative parking is usually available in the council car park close by (fee payable).

Really enjoyed our winter break at this hotel. Staff were pleasant, good food and hotel was clean and well cared for. Great entertainment from Peter James too. The weather was a bit grim but what else could you expect from the west coast of Scotland in January.

Me and my wife stayed at the Great Western Hotel for our wedding anniversary weekend. I would like to say a big thank you to the staff involved. We were given the best room (I think) at no extra cost, large room, sea view and four poster bed. Very clean and comfortable. The food was very good, the staff very pleasant and friendly. We would recommend the hotel to anybody visiting Oban. Once again, a big thank you. Hope to visit again sometime.

Super room and superb staff. This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The Communal areas are much improved. The hospitality is second to none. Quality of meals not as previously enjoyed.

We have just arrived back from the Great Western Hotel in Oban. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves thanks to Jason and the team. Excellent value for money! We will return later in the year.

My friend and I had a three day break at this hotel last year on a self drive holiday and found it to be great value for money. Staff were pleasant and room very comfortable. Food was perfectly acceptable also. Would have enjoyed more evening entertainment, as the weather was inclement at night. However, it did not prevent us from having a great time. Hope to be back soon!
