Fodor's Expert Review South Sea Hotel

This handsome, historic, and beautifully renovated building dominates the main road in Oban and offers comfortable rooms, some of which (in the front) have sea views. This is an old-fashioned hotel, which means that you share a bathroom with other guests if you stay upstairs in the original building. If you'd like your own bathroom and a more peaceful room, ask for a studio unit behind the hotel. Downstairs is the pub and restaurant, so you don't need to go far after a few drinks or to have breakfast in the morning.
