Excellent layout and location , spotlessly clean and everything you need . Staff were friendly and welcoming . Nice quiet apartment in centre of town .
Our 2 night stay at the Ranald Apartments in Oban exceeded expectations. All staff were warm and welcoming. The lady who served us at breakfast was excellent, so friendly, efficient and served great coffee. The breakfast was particularly good. The apartments were spotless and very cosy. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely short break.
Spotlessly clean, very warm welcome.
Had a great stay as alway ,great room staff and lovely breakfast
This hotel was absolutely great. Friendly staff, very clean and if we ever did another overnight stay in Oban, The Ranald will be the 1st choice. Thank you guys
We have stayed at The Ranald Hotel on numerous occasions over the years first class rooms breakfast and service would definately book again
Had another great stay at the hotel x
A lovely three day break at this excellent small hotel. Nice clean room, staff very pleasant. The continental breakfast was a cut above a normal one which also included a limited but welcome warm selection of eggs, bacon and pancakes ( American style). Would thoroughly recommend this compact little hotel and hope to return in the near future. Just one slight caveat if you have a physical problem ask for a lower floor room and I am sure you will be accommodated.
The Ranald is superb! A fabulous location and all staff so helpful. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent stay Room lovely and clean and good location for getting around Oban would recommend
Friendly staff !! Clean room, nice and warm, handy for train and bus too 🙂
Lovely room, great breakfast
We have stayed 3 times now. The apartment was spotless, with lovely crisp clean white linen and fluffy towels. Your cleaners do an outstanding job, please pass our appreciation onto them. The reception staff are always so friendly and helpful, both on the phone and in person. It’s a very welcoming and warm place, and we thank you for offering an island rate. You are all doing a wonderful job at The Ranald.
As ever, the Ranald provides a friendly place to stay, in just the right location for all the Oban essentials - Marks & Spencers, ferry and dentist!
We were very pleased with our stay, comfy bed, very pleasant helpful staff and a tasty breakfast
Very comfortable , warm and extremely clean.
Lovely overnight stay - with helpful advice from staff Jodie & her lovely sister on where to visit & eat - Walked to Ganavan Beach / Climbed to the Tower & had dinner in the Cuan Mor - perfect active overnight escape! (Breakfast was fab too) x

Immaculate studio apartment, beautifully furnished . Everything we needed and a large comfortable bed. Easy access from great reception staff at the hotel . Apartment building is unstaffed but a 24 hour intact number is given . I would not hesitate to stay here again and am delighted to have found such a wee gem.
We will definitely be back, the rooms were perfect, the towels were soft but not too soft, the staff were lovely, the breakfast was fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed our visit.
As always we appreciated the use of an apartment. Having fridge, cooker, microwave is so useful.
Lovely location just one street back from the harbour and central location the apartment was clean and well furnished and well equipped with everything you could want for a short break the super king-size bed was a real bonus and very comfortable we can't wait to come back
Comfortable place to stay; all very clean; cosy bed.... best sleep I have had for a while ; lovely hot shower.....certainly everything we wanted for our one night stay. Good central location.... would use again. Thanks 😄
I can't think of anything this lovely little hotel could improve upon- besides installing a little! Great location. Lovely friendly staff. Tastefully , well furnished rooms with modern ensuite and powerful shower. Beds very comfy. First rate continental breakfast. Luggage storage after check out. We'll be back!
Found via an Itison deal, for £55 and happy to add £20 to it, we headed to Oban SPECIFICALLY to enjoy seafood from the hut on the Pier. The weather was GLORIOUS, the seafood awesome AND what really put the icing on the cake was a completely stunning apartment (no13) which gave us brilliant westerly views out over the Oban rooftops to enjoy a bottle of champagne and the sunset. A B S O L U T E P E R F E C T I O N. We cannot thank you and your staff enough.
Great welcome and service. Nice clean room with all the amenities. Would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Our room was spotless and the comfiest bed and very peaceful. The continental breakfast suited us perfectly with lots of choice. Staff were friendly and attentive. Thankyou for a great stay.
My friend an I had a great time, the rooms are spotlessly clean 👌 as well as the bathroom. The staff were very helpful, polite. Highly recommended 👌
Perfection. Staff brilliant very comfortable room with fab shower
Clean and cosy. Bathroom had just been refurbished too. Comfortable beds with deluxe crisp linen. Excellent value for a winter deal.
Would highly recommend. Well- situated in the centre of Oban. Staff could not be more helpful and the rooms were most comfortable.
Our room was ideal and staff were very polite and helpful will stay again
Had a great stay. Staff were wonderful and very helpful. Thanks so much.
We loved the apartment, both said we could actually live in it permanently 😊 It was immaculate and well presented, comfy bed, everything you would need in fact . Thank you and we would definitely recommend and use again

The Ranald is perfectly positioned for exploring Oban town and the harbour and amenities. The room and ensuite bathroom were spacious very clean and comfortable. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful. A great stay overall and recommended.
Clean, modern, comfortable Hotel and central location,
The hotel is lovely, very well appointed and modern. Staff were extremely polite and helpful particularly given the challenges of Covid-19. I required early room access and WiFi to participate in a digital work meeting - this was no trouble at all for reception staff and they couldn’t have done more. Will certainly stay again and recommend to others.
Great little boutique hotel with covid restrictions the breakfast delivered was excellent
Lovely hotel in the middle of the town, friendly staff and unique breakfast. ***** Will be back.
Accommodation good central location, staff very helpful
Fantastic value. Our new go to place in Oban and can highly recommend. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very central. Thank you for a great stay :-)
My fifth return visit with new friends. Can't recommend highly enough. First class.
The Ranald hotel is a wee gem that's tucked away in a quiet location in Oban x The rooms were spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly ,polite and very helpful. I will be recommend this hotel to friend and family and look forward to a return visit .
Have stayed in The Ranald Hotel a good many times but this was our first in one of the apartments we occupied number 8 we really liked and thoroughly enjoyed the apartment which was spotlessly clean with comfortable double bed, the french doors provide an expansive view and provided lots of light into the apartment which is situated very close to the towns Main Street. “I’ll be back” well done all at The Ranald 😀
Very good and nice friendly staff. Would go back.
Nice, friendly staff and the hotel is modern and clean with good facilities. The Ranald is centrally located with shops & restaurants all within walking distance. The continental breakfast offered a wide range of choice from fresh fruit, cereals, juices, croissants etc. All in all, a great place to stay.
this is my third stay at this hotel, service is excellent. central for everything. will go back again. had a great time.
Spotless, reception professional and friendly, nothing too much trouble. Would stay again in an instant.
Lovely place. Great food and the staff were extremely friendly. Absolutely will be staying again.
Lovely room, friendly staff & great breakfast. What’s not to love!?!
I stayed in the apartments and was very very happy as the room was lovely decorated, very clean and had great space, I will definitely be staying again as it is in a great area to walk to everything
Very nice, peaceful room, lovely breakfast and friendly staff - we will be back !
Ideal central location with a friendly reception staff.
Fantastic place friendly staff nice rooms comfortable excellent breakfast we are going to keep going back 10/10
Best place to stay in Oban. And the wifi worked this time!
Really nice accommodation. Room very clean and well kept. Only comment would be if there was space out the back to extend to give a bigger restaurant and kitchen space that would be good.The existing arrangement is too small
Very comfortable stay, friendly service and tasty breakfast.
Great stay and FABULOUS staff !!!!!
The apartment was very well equipped and decorated and very comfortable. The space was excellent, the large bed very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to cook and eat meals at our table by the large windows. As always, the staff at the Ranald were very helpful and friendly
We have been going to that lovely wee boutique hotel now , the same time every year for the past 12yrs. Great rooms, great location, and great staff.
Lovely comfy bed, good sized double, cotton sheets, great shower.
Stayed here many times now, room is always spotless, comfy bed, ideally situated for nearby shops etc. Breakfast is very much to my liking. First class.
What a wonderful find. Room lovely, perfect temperature and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back and would recommend to others
very friendly staff,lovely warm rooms, very clean
Rooms are clean. Hotel is lovely and situated very near the shops etc
What a fabulous hotel,great location extremely friendly staff and fabulous breakfast,would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
Hotel is situated in central area. Rooms excellent.Good choice for breakfast, especially liked the egg dishes, cooked to order.
Beautiful rooms with everything you need and breakfast fabulous
We stayed in a Ranald apartment which was excellent
Our stay was excellent hotel very clean staff very helpful and the food was excellent
All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a lovely place and has everything that is needed for a break away. PLUS - the baked eggs were fantastic!
Stayed a night in (hotel proper) thanks to a gift and stayed for a further night in the hotel apartments. The rooms in both were spacious and well appointed. The lack of an elevator was only a slight inconvenience as the steps were quite wide. Breakfast was excellent.The hotel was really close to the town centre so allowing easy access to all the town's amenities. This was our first visit to Oban and we will DEFINITELY be back and hopefully stay in The Ranald again.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a break in Oban and the surrounding area. This is a great hotel in the centre of the town next to the harbour and train station. Rooms are clean and modern with plenty of space. The staff that work there are so friendly and helpful. We will be going back.
We had a quiet room, with all mod cons, shower was amazing. We even had a sofa, which I didn’t expect. Breakfast was delicious, choice was good, I had porridge and fruit compote, husband had baked eggs and toast. The staff were friendly and welcomed us in. I particularly liked the blackout blinds however, if their not for you there are curtains too. This wasn’t our first stay, it won’t be our last. Check out this centrally situated hidden gem.
My group of 6 had a lovely stay at the hotel last weekend. Rooms excellent and staff very friendly and more than willing to help with any enquiry. Will certainly be back for another stay. Thank you Mary Canning
Only stayed one night, room was lovely and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Clean & cosy , friendly staff ,loved the quirky baked eggs. Will be back
Had a fabulous few days staying at this lovely wee hotel the rooms were excellent everything we needed for our stay the staff are all very friendly can't do enough for you the breakfast is great all freshly made not your usual big Scottish breakfast but everything they had was adequate to get your day of to a good start will definitely make another trip back and back to the ranald could not fault it
Very comfortable. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast .
This was our third stay at The Ranald and as previously we had a very enjoyable stay, this time we requested a front facing room and no problem it was fixed for us we were in 105 much more room than the rear facing room. Room was spotlessly clean as was the bed linen we both had two good nights sleep in the comfortable bed can’t say that in a lot of hotels we have stayed in. The staff as always were very friendly and helpful, also a big thank you to the kitchen staff for the lovely presented and most enjoyable breakfast’s, what more can I add other than looking forwards to yet another stay at The Ranald and to enjoy lovely Oban. Thanks to you all. Ann & Ian Horne.
Great size room
Lovely, friendly welcome. Excellent facilities and great breakfast.
great value for money, would recommend for short visits to Oban
Excellent, clean and caring.
Very tidy modern Hotel with some nice touches and excellent Staff! Only small niggle was the shower door, probably only an issue because the water pressure is good and hot water plentiful!
Breakfast service good; Relaxed stay
Brilliant clean, spacious modern apartment, lots of hanging space in mirrored wardrobe, nice living room area with a comfy sofa, one of the biggest and comfiest beds I have slept in , with firestick tv what's not to like. On arrival fresh flowers in the apartment , the bed made up and fresh clean towels were nice touches, the fact that the towels were replaced and the apartment cleaned on our arrival back on the 2nd day was Brilliant and unexpected. The free toiletries were great as was the fact that there was an iron and ironing board. I would recommend these apartments to anyone coming to Oban, they are in a great location and the staff are nice as well, and I would recommend this to anyone.
From my telephone booking to checking out, I was impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room was very comfortable. The location is handy and everything in the town is accessible on foot from the hotel. Breakfast was a nice change from the usual hotel fare and everything was made to order. It was very quiet so a good night's sleep is assured.
My stay was perfect. I arrived very late, but someone was there, my room ready and very comfortable. Breakfast was cooked, which I wanted, and very good. I will happily stay again.
We had a lovely stay, the staff were great and very accommodating!
Excellent location. Rooms were clean and well kept. Waiting staff at breakfast were lovely and very efficient. Baked eggs with salmon were superb. Will be back.
This was my 6th time staying at the Ranald ..I love the coziness of the rooms and the staff are always very welcoming ..can't wait to go back
Our second stay here with an itison voucher and we were very satisfied.Very pleasant, hard working and obliging young staff. Constant replenishment of breakfast items. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Next time will make sure we have a larger room-found it difficult without a chair or any laying space-had originally booked larger rooms but had to change booking and this was all that was left so we knew it was going to be compact-and it was! Nonetheless a lovely stay in Oban. Thankyou
We have stayed at the ranald before, best hotel in oban, rooms excellent ,breakfast brilliant, wouldn't want to stay anywhere else., close to harbour , pubs , restaurants, and oban lovely place to visit.
Third visit Great hotel. High standard. Thanks to all staff.
Staff were friendly and helpful, lovely breakfast.
I do lots of Tripadvisor reviews and shall be giving your hotel a very favourable one
We had two nights at the Ranald hotel and cannot praise highly enough - brilliant accommodation, courteous and helpful staff and fabulous value -?my only comment was a means of resolving cr parking - we were lucky re parking immediately adjacent and not moving except parking latterly at Tesco - this however was minor and did not take away from fabulous two days - thank you - thank you all staff - and we will be back 😊😊👍👍
First time at the Ranald Hotel and an absolutely great place. Warm, modern, well equipped - this will not be y last stay here. ps Read the Breakfast Menu - there are some very different offers to choose from.
Great hotel, nice big beds, big rooms and very quiet even though in the centre and close to everything.
amazing rooms and fantastic value for money will definitely visit again. Bonus being Oban is a beautiful Highland getaway
accommodation was great - really central to everything. staff were really friendly and helpful. couldn't do enough for you. the room was very clean and really good size. would recommend to my friends and would stay there again.
The Ronald hotel was a wonderful surprise and an excellent choice for our 3 day stay in Oban. We appreciated the friendly welcome from the receptionist and the room allocated to us on booking. The style of the hotel reminded us of a similar hotel we stayed in Bergen (Norway) a marvellous mix of contemporary furnishings and muted colour scheme. Although not providing an evening meal the "quirky " breakfast was excellent, we were also given great advice on eating out . We took the advice and had fresh locally caught fish each night! Having returned home we have already recommended the Ronald to our family. Many thanks again for an excellent stay,
A wee gem of a hotel, very tasty breakfast, loved the room decor and staff very friendly and helpful, would definately recommend and hope to return in the spring
Lovely rooms and satisfying breakfast. We would definitely re-visit.
My friend and I stayed for two nights and were very comfortable throughout our stay. Unfortunately, I became ill and the staff looked after me well. Love the baked eggs. We will be back x
