Columba

Welcome to the Columba Hotel, a stunning Victorian gem perched right on the Oban seafront. If you're dreaming of a Scottish escape, you've found your perfect base. We’re ideally situated as the gateway to the enchanting Scottish isles, including Iona and Mull. Oban itself offers breathtaking views of rolling mountains, shimmering lochs, and picturesque islands, making it an ideal starting point for your adventures.

Our hotel is perfectly placed for exploring the wonders around Oban. Take a trip to Lismore, discover the magic of Mull, or embark on an unforgettable journey to Iona and the famous Fingal's Cave on Staffa. Back in town, you can soak up the vibrant local atmosphere and, of course, visit Oban's world-renowned whisky distillery. After a day of exploration, return to the comfort of our historic hotel.

Inside, you'll find our rooms are a delightful blend of modern comfort and Victorian charm. Expect high ceilings and large windows, with the majority of our rooms refurbished to a high standard with contemporary decor. Each non-smoking bedroom features a wonderfully comfortable bed, a TV, direct dial phone, and a hairdryer, along with convenient tea and coffee making facilities. For dining, our fully refurbished Alba Restaurant offers top-quality Scottish dishes in a relaxed yet charming Victorian setting. Complement your meal with a drink at our Harbour Bar or Harbour Lights Bar, savouring the sunset over Oban Bay.

Start your day right with our delicious breakfast buffet, offering a tempting choice of hot or cold options. We also warmly welcome non-residents to enjoy our bars and dining. We believe you'll find our rates competitive, often lower than those found on major booking sites. We encourage you to book your stay directly with us for the best experience.
