First impressions were poor, the receptionist seemed hostile, but soon realised that was simly her way, as she made a point of calling out each time I went past and checking all was okay. Room was perfectly okay with good range of soaps etc. For this price you might expect a bit of ropeyness, the only thing was the portable... More

I stayed in Oban over the weekend and The Columba was the best choice for hotel. The rooms are just lovely nice and spacious we had great views over the bay. It seems like the public areas are being rennovated so cant really judge this area. The staff are all very friendly and nothing was a hassle I would recomend... More

My family stayed in room 101. Our room had an awesome side view of the harbor. The kids had a hide-a-bed that was in it's own separate area of the large room. It's an old hotel with high ceilings that has been nicely renovated. The bathroom was great. The bed wasn't amazing, but it was adequate and I was very... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the Columba hotel in Oban in March 2012. Both the room and the food were excellent with the room having a view out to sea. The only problem is the car park only 10 pl;aces for almost 50 rooms on a first come first come bases. When full you have to pay... More

The Hotel is situated right on the Seafront and close to all of Oban's amenities. Got this at a great price so can have no substantial complaints. The interior is a bit tired bedroom carpets etc even though the room has been refurbished. Public Lounge is disappointing. Burst Chairs and tired decor. Breakfast is very good-great selection, and evening meal... More

The hotel seems to have been part refurbished. The room was good, but the bathroom was in need of a bit of attention. Clean enough, but the water temperature wasn't reliable. Aside from that, good value for money. More

We had a 2 night stay at the Columba with the family. Our room on the 1st floor had a great view over the harbour and bay. The room was clean but was in need of upgrading. There was bubbling wallpaper and sockets coming away from the wall when plugs were pulled. The hair-dryer didn't work, although this was very... More

stated for a couple of days over easter and thought the hotel was great, good staff, meals were great, rooms were good but could do with a bit of a refurbishment but the views made up for it, would stay there again when we return and would reccomend it to family and friends. More
