Oban out of season
Pros:

Rooms and location

Cons:

Out of season. Felt like you were an inconvenience. If you want food we wil open the kitchen otherwise we will close kitchen early. Summer = queing up to take your money.

Pros:

It is my favourite hotel in Oban. Staff welcoming and happy to help at any time. Room very comfortable and always clean. The cocktail bar, Lulu's, just great and Spa facilities wonderful. I would never stay anywhere else. Can't recommend The Perle enough.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

We felt that the room was small considering it was £210 per night. The hotel was fairly quiet so sure there must have been a better room available

Cons:

Small room and the bar closed at 10.30 which I feel is early for the rating of the hotel. If there are staff shortages, that should maybe be reflected in the price as full service is not provided

Fantastic location and very comfy rooms
Pros:

The location was great. The room was spotless, lovely and cosy and a great size. The bed was very comfortable. The reception and bar staff were friendly.

Cons:

Service in the restaurant was very slow at breakfast but there didn’t seem to be many staff members available. The breakfast portions and quality were a bit disappointing.

Comfortable stay in the heart of Oban
Pros:

Comfy room right in the centre of Oban. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

Room didn't have a mini bar which was a shame as we had a couple of things we would have liked to have kept in a fridge. Spa was nice but would have been perfect with a small pool/jacuzzi.
