This is a wonderful hotel! Extremely friendly staff. Very nice breakfast, which is included in the price of your stay. The hotel is beautifully decorated and is very cozy. The beds were comfortable. Great shower with excellent water pressure. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The hotel is along the waterfront and is a short walk away from shops and restaurants. The town of Oban is lovely! Overall, I highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing service at this lovely boutique hotel Great lounge with an amazing view of the water where we enjoyed cocktails, fabulous breakfast, and lots of areas to sit and relax. Our room was a little small and at times we heard other guests in the hall, but we played white noise through the supplied Bluetooth speaker and had a great sleep. Lots of hot water. Just a fabulous stay - the service was beyond exceptional. I would absolutely book this hotel again.

Let me share an example how well the staff is trained. I start work earlier when travelling for pleasure. I was up and very quietly working in the lounge to avoid bothering my spouse’s sleep. Within minutes the overnight manager found me and I had an Americano within seconds. Perfect

It is an older hotel with a decor upgrade. If you have rooms above you, you will be able to hear everything including them walking around in their room. Do not recommend for light sleepers. Room and bathroom are more on the compact side. Wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay as there isn’t really room for suitcases.

The big bonus for this hotel is the staff, they are very friendly and helpful, plus the room we had was quiet, had a great shower and all the facilities we needed for an overnight stay. It has lovely views from its terrace and we had drinks on it watching the sunset. We also enjoyed our breakfast and dinner at it as well.

No17 The Promenade is a lovely boutique hotel. It is located just outside of the center of Oban, a brisk 10 minute walk along the boardwalk from the downtown. The views of the harbor from the lounge and the restaurant are great, the furnishings are colorful and with lots of character and the hotel staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is fantastic—we loved both our dinner and our breakfast the next morning. We’ll be certain to return!

We had a great weekend at No 17, could not fault the hotel at all. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Our room was lovely, equipped with everything you could possibly need. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options to choose from. All in all we had a lovely relaxing time and will definitely be back.

The town itself is wonderful, and the hotel was quite attractive. Unfortunately, there were two serious issues: 1- There was a strong oil smell in the room from cooking, which was off putting, and it seemed as though we were sleeping in a deep fryer, and 2- we were made to feel very uncomfortable during breakfast. We were unaware of any rules to do with ordering, which we had done the night before with no comment from the hostess, so we hoped to share several entrées for our table. Rather than explain in a way that was kind, the hostess repeatedly said that she would have to “drag another table over”, and that she did not want to “food waste” which was heard by other guests, and was embarrassing. In the end, we changed our order, and she no longer made contact with us to ask about our experience, or offer more drinks or additional food if needed. The portions were actually relatively small, but were placed on massive plates, which we were easily able to remediate by putting similar orders on the same plate, for example. We had no problem finishing what we ordered, and we would have been more comfortable had she given us the original order. It was a very uncomfortable experience and we would not return.
