Wonderful location and very comfortable stay

We had a wonderful stay in Oban at this property. Beautifully furnished and absolutely amazing views. It could be a little noisy outside of an evening but it always settled down. We were in walking distance of everything. And the restaurant downstairs was fabulous.

Outstanding waterfront location

An apartment in an outstanding Oban waterfront location with wonderful views. Comfortably furnished but be aware it is up two flights of stairs. It did have a sightly overwhelming cupboard full of cleaning materials, and the instructions and various booklets and brochures were a little over the top and could do with editing. Overall a positive experience because of the location.

Pleasant Stay

Lovely enjoyable stay at Imperial Apartments. Clean, spacious and well equipped for a 1 bedroom apartment. Central location for restaurants, bars and railway station and ferry. My only criticism is that the shower could do with being more powerful but only a minor issue.

Great Location, Wonderful View of Oban

The apartment is located in the heart of Oban and has a wonderful view of the harbor. It is well laid out with all of the amenities of a few days’ stay. While we were there we had great weather and went on one of the local boat excursions. The tour of the distillery, which is only a block away, was wonderful as were the local restaurants we ate at. Thank you for the wonderful memories of Oban!

A few days in Oban

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Oban, it more than met our expectations! The apartment was in a first class location with spectacular views…we enjoyed sitting watching the ferries and all the other activities in the harbour. Plenty places to eat out especially the Piazza and the seafood restaurant. We would definitely recommend the Imperial Apartment, we would stay there again.

6/10 Okay

Do not book this apartment unless you are a smoker.

We were extremely disappointed to discover that the apartment which was, and continues to be, advertised as non-smoking reeked of tobacco. This was exacerbated by the inability of the windows to open more than a few inches. It took six days to air the apartment with both windows open almost all the time. Immediately upon arrival we emailed cottages.com on the emergency email address provided in the apartment’s instructions. We have never received a reply.

Perfect Location

Talk about the perfect location! The only downside may have been that the view was so beautiful we almost hated to go out. Parking was a little inconvenient, but not a significant downside. We highly recommend it.

Fantastic Stay at the Imperial Apartment

This is an outstanding apartment in a first class location. The Imperial Apartment is everything as advertised in the VRBO summary. It is extremely convenient to downtown shopping and dining and the harbor views from the suite, both sitting room and bedroom are extraordinary. Communications with the ownership team (Gemma and Sandie) were flawless. They were both very responsive, and considerate in ensuring it was a great experience (it was). I sincerely hope to be back to Oban with a return visit to the Imperial Apartment.

Central location

Well situated in the middle of Oban. We hit a bit of a heat wave in the area and it was difficult to get the apartment to cool at night but it sounds like this was an atypical weather aberration. Two notes for others - this unit is on the 2nd floor and we did not see a lift so you’ll want to pack accordingly or plan to get a good workout bringing your luggage up. And the king bed noted is likely a UK king, not a US king, if that matters to you. We enjoyed our time and would gladly stay here again.

Cute apartment in a great location

We enjoyed our stay in Oban. The apartment is located right in the center of town. Very close to the train, bus, and ferry stations. The apt was spacious, the bed comfortable, and overlooks the harbor. Minor street noise. The host provided lots of information about Oban and activities. The apartment and bathroom was clean. The shower water controls are touchy. But, there is hot water.

WOW

Ideal location on the harbour by the shops and restaurants. Close to the railway station and the ferries. 30 steps up to the apartment in a well lit and well kept stairway. Once inside the view's are amazing, mixture of old with the stone wall and modern and warm. Very clean and bright.

Very spacious apartment

A most welcome surprise after a disastrous hire of cottage in Tenby earlier in the year. Imperial Apartment is very spacious, clean, very well appointed with a lovely view over the bay. Most convenient for the excellent restaurants ie Coast (five stars!) EE-Usk and Waterfront Fishouse with Cuan Mor just downstairs. Excellent for breakfast.
