Overall Ratings & Reviews The Whisky Vaults

Booked a 2 night stay in a super tiny room. After the first night, we ended up finding another accommodation due to the size of the room and the fact that my husband couldn't sleep the first night. I now wish I had paid more attention to the postage stamp sized room review I looked at before booking this room. While clean and in a good location, beware of booking the super small rooms with a bathroom you'll be hitting your knees on the shower stall door when you use the restroom.

In a great location in the centre of Oban, with most of the places you would want to visit within walking distance. There is a convenient car park across the street if you need it. The building is old and full of character, which inevitably impacts on the accommodation - with some ingenious planning of the en-suite bathrooms, but this is more than made up for by the Scottish welcome from the knowledgeable staff. Breakfasts are not included, but there is the offer a of a goodie-bag with pastry, drink and fruit, or plenty of places nearby. A plus is the whisky bar with its huge selection of whisky and changing whiskies of the day, somewhere to relax in the evening.

This was a cute little hotel. It was clean, but a little worn. It was conveniently located and had a pay parking lot less than a block away.

Lovey charming old building, decorated really sympathetically to highlight its age and charm. Staff were friendly and helpful, room very comfortable slept well. Thank you for a lovely trip.

I stayed two nights at The Whisky Vaults, Friday and Saturday. I checked in a bit late (20:30) and was easily accommodated with my room key and information. There was a grab-and-go breakfast bag left outside my door each morning filled with yogurt, water, pastry, cereal bar, and fresh fruit. My room had an electric kettle, tea, coffees, and hot chocolate as well as shampoo, shower gel, and a small bar soap. Everything was clean and cozy. Being near to the beer garden, it was a bit noisy in the evenings but that is to be expected. It was a lively fun atmosphere with live music and wonderful staff.

The Whisky Vaults is in a great location to explore Oban. Close to everything and clean and comfortable. Excellent water pressure in the shower too!! The bar is lovely with really friendly staff. Strongly recommend!

There is no elevator and the stairs were a bit steep so beware that. The “wee pub” next to the larger pub is marvelous with a nice wood stove. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet pint in the wee pub. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had a nice soaking tub. Easy to walk to local sights.

Great place to stay in Oban. The Whisky Bar is great.

Good location and friendly staff. Very nice pub on site. Room was a postage stamp. Not recommended for 2 people. Shower/bathroom is so small, you need dry off in the actual room.

Great location, clean room, friendly and helpful staff. I’ll stay there again.

Second stay at The Whisky Vaults. Clean and cozy and great location!

Nice clean room in a great location just off the main street in Oban. Staff were very helpful.

Really good experience. Close to car park. Friendly staff . Good bed. Definitely would use again

It was clean but very, very small. I mean tiny. There’s no place to lounge in the morning since the small seating area by the bar is closed.

Quirky but neat place not for mobility challenged. Great access for walking in town and to restaurants, train and ferry.

Great location and amazing staff. Just be prepared to park offsite and carry luggage up stairs. Other than that, the place had an amazing location and we had zero issues with sounds being right above a pub.

Our experience was fabulous from beginning to end. We were able to check in on arrival, and the staff always offer to carry your bags. Property is in a perfect location and we adored the town. Parking is not free but it is reasonably priced and very convenient with the lot being across the street. Wonderful staff! Thank you so much!

Our party included two couples in separate rooms. One room was comfortably sized, the other rather small including the bathroom space. Condition was good for an older property.

Great location and excellent whisky bar. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Not for the faint of heart. Narrow circular stairway up three stories. Even small luggage is difficult.
