EvaSEBra läge, anrikt hotel, lite bister personal.
Läget. Bra säng. Rent. Godsaker på rummet, vattenkokare med fritt kaffe och te. Stor frukost med många val.
Personalen var stressad och sammanbiten och såg inte så glad ut, några undantag för en tjej i receptionen och…

The Oban Bay Hotel was very attractive and comfortable. It is a short, but lovely, walk into downtown Oban along the shore promenade. Our room was not large, but it had everything we needed. The bed was very…
MartinGermanySolides Hotel für eine Nacht
Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und hatten eine gute Ausstattung. Auch die zentrale Lage direkt am Meer hat uns gut gefallen.

PatrickFranceLe côté traditionnel écossais, l'ambiance chaleureuse, la qualité de la nourriture, la propreté des chambres, la gentillesse du personnel. L'emplacement au bord de la mer. C'est un endroit où l'on se sent bien.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Oban Bay Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Oban Bay Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Oban Bay Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Oban Bay Hotel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Oban Bay Hotel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Oban Bay Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Oban Bay Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Oban Bay Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Oban Bay Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Oban Bay Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
