Noisy Room

The only thing I have to criticize is, that during the whole night our room was sounded by noisy supply water pipes in the walls and several machine noise (probably from kitchen or washing), which didin't became better, although we complained it at the reception.

Beautiful hotel in a cute little town.

Wonderful location in Oban for a visit. Central to the local shopping, restaruants, the distillery, train and ferries. The service and hotel itself were also very nice. I would certainly choose it again if visiting Oban. The only minus was the lack of parking, but it was very easy to find affordable parking nearby.

The rooms at the Perle were the largest we stayed in on our trip. The beds were very comfortable but, just as note, they do move about easily if you’re a restless sleeper. The hotel is old but it was super clean and very well maintained. Check in staff was friendly and helpful.

Our stay here was simply magical. We were here two nights and could have stayed a few more. We ate at the restaurant on sight the first night and food was really good. Room was clean and spacious.

The ladies at the front counter were wonderful. The decor in the breakfast room/restaurant was gorgeous. The porridge made by the Sous chef was amazing! The bad. The pillows in our room were shameful, hard as a rock and looked old. It was very noticeable that door surfaces on the main floor hadn't been cleaned in a while. The shower pan almost flooded everytime we showered.

Great central location.

The hotel is in a great central location. There is parking close by, along with electric vehicle charging. Room was spotless. Only negative was the channels on the TV didn't work and the bedside lamp bulb didn't work either. The only main issue was the occupants in the adjacent room who were having a fight and arguments for about 5 hours through the night. So we didn't get any sleep. That's not the fault of the hotel though. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Nice hotel but overpriced

Hotel was nice but extremely cold. Heating did not appear to be working in the hotel reception area nor the cocktail lounge. Standard double room was a good sized room but the bathroom was tiny and the shower was very small.
