Welcome to Oban Hotel

Oban Hotel offers modest accommodations in a relaxed setting along King Edward's Parade in Eastbourne, just a short walk from the beach. Guests can enjoy a lounge bar and a wine cellar, providing casual spaces to unwind. Dining options are limited, as the hotel does not offer a full restaurant service on site.

The property is well-suited for travelers seeking easy access to the seaside, with beach access close by and kid-friendly features for families. While amenities are basic—including free Wi-Fi and smoke-free premises—there is no air conditioning, parking, or fitness facilities available, which should be considered when planning a stay.
