Just returned from Scotland after 18 fabulous days 7 of them spent at the Perle.Thank you to all the staff who made our visit very special!! Especially Will, Lilly, Sylvia, Fin and Martina. We had a bay view room which was very comfortable and clean. During our stay we had three dinners at the hotel and the quality of the food and the level of service was top notch. Breakfast was also most enjoyable with plenty of selection freshly prepared.Happy staff with a big smile.

This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Oban. We stayed in the junior suite on the second floor and had amazing views of the water and town from all windows. The room was big, clean and the King bed was very comfortable. …

I had a great experience here! I accidentally made a mistake on my booking (faulty wifi in the location before) so they didn’t have anything for me but were able to fit me in. …

The hotel, the oldest in town, is very conveniently located near the train station. Our room was large, quiet, with a view of the harbor. We enjoyed sitting in the large chairs and viewing the sunset from the room. …

We like to stay at the Pearl in Oban. It had a very good location right in the center of town. It had breakfast that we had every morning It wasn't included with a room but it sure saved a lot of time when we got out in the morning. The bedroom was very comfortable. The carpet was stained and looked dirty. Like a replacement was in order. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small as was the shower. No matter what hotel we've been in, we've always had to contend with some type of steps. And the Pearl had steps down the hall from The elevator. Just slows a couple old people down but doesn't stop us. We had dinner as well here and the dinner was very good. Service was good.
