The Whisky Vaults Hotel in Argyll & Bute

What a perfect collection of whiskeys and.bourbons. The bar was beautiful and a friendly atmosphere.

Exellent pub with excellent service and atmosphere

I came to spend an evening at the bar, and it was great! For whiskey lovers, don't miss this superb place. There are also beers on tap, and you can eat fish & chips on site from the restaurant next door, also very good!

Had a seriously great experience here. I’m a whisky newbie and the two bartenders kindly helped me explore and pinpoint tastes I liked. Very knowledgeable staff, great feel overall.

The Whisky Vaults Bar is truly extraordinary, both for the incredible range of bottles, and amazingly knowledgeable and helpful staff! Two friends and I visited, with varying prior experience with Scotch, and we were each guided to some truly exceptional drams. Warm and unpretentious, it's one of the best spots to relax and explore whisky in all of Scotland. Highly recommended!

A must do for anyone interested in whisky.

Great room, friendly staff. Very charming. Would recommend it when staying In Oban

Cool location with a huge selection of whiskey.

Excellent Bar and Service. Definitely worth a visit. If you are into whisky a must-see.

A great whiskey bar. Christopher gave us very good advice. There are also older and rarer whiskeys. There is also a beer garden.

I only visited the bar, not the hotel. The abundance of whisky in the bar is fantastic. The advice is phenomenal. I had one of the best whisky tastings! Great selection, great whiskies and great bartenders.

Amazing, knowledgeable bartender - phenomenal selection of whisky single malts. Can't wait to return for another dram - and perhaps to stay!

The hotel was a great little spot to stay! The bar was fantastic, with a huge selection of whisky that was organized well! The bartender John was amazing. He was VERY knowledgeable and was a pleasure to talk to about the various whisky we had. Would absolutely, without a doubt recommend stopping in to have a drink and chat!!! The room we had (8) was a good size, with a comfortable bed and a decent sized bathroom. If you are looking for a place to stay in Oban, stay here!

Visited the beer garden. Definitely recommended. Very friendly and an enormous selection of drinks.

This little gem is tucked away just off Oban's main street. Easy and inexpensive street parking (or a car park a short distance away). The staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable and clean, and after everyone was settled for the night, quiet.

Great place and better people! Comfortable and straight forward! Nice pub downstairs with a spot just for people staying at the hotel. Within walking distance to everthing downtown. Try the Lorne pub for dinner!

I’m giving four stars although I really liked the place. Given its age and size, there are some limitations. It’s a very quaint hotel that has been in business for a long time. It’s an old building. A lot of history in the place. It’s a nice place to hang out in. We stayed one day and wished we had more time. Very steep winding stairs that you really need to be careful with. Check in is on the ground floor. John is a very nice, efficient front desk person. Carries your bags upstairs two at a time. Gives helpful advice on local restaurants and other places. He’s a great resource. The rooms are the next floors. They’re small which is kind of expected since it’s such an old building. They appear to be well maintained. For example, the caulking in the shower looks like it was done professionally. It was neat and clean. No receptacles in the bathroom. Small shower stall but it operates well. Everything was clean. Bed is firm, comfortable. Pillows terrible. Huge bath towels. You won’t be able to fit them into your suitcase (just kidding) -but they really are huge. Not much workspace in the sink area. It’s a little funky to enter. During the main hours, you enter via a small nondescript door near the very small reception area. After hours, you use a key to enter the building. You also get an actual key to enter your room - not a card Iike most places. There’s a bar attached with a collection of 320 scotches. I got a three item sampler of three reputable Islay scotches for 35 pounds. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the scotches. Great atmosphere in the bar area. There’s another very cozy bar area that is not staffed with a fireplace. You can sit there but must go to the main bar for service. You shouldn’t miss it.

A very nice terrace to drink a beer or a whiskey with a very large choice. Heartwarming welcome.

If whisky is your thing then this place is a must, lots of varieties on offer

Great bar lot of whisky to choose from .lot of beers to

This is for the bar - didn't stay at the hotel. Only in Oban for a couple of days; we've been here both days. Kyle and Chris really know their whiskies! An excellent selection of whiskies as well as full bar with beer and wine. Great outdoor seating. No TVs, no sports, just a friendly, relaxing place. If we lived here, this would be our place to hang out. Can't wait to come back!

Always a pleasure in vaults and very knowledgeable members of staff.
