We stayed at the Rowantree hotel to attend a wedding in the Corran Halls on the 12/05/2012. On arrival in Oban, we found the hotel easy to locate and the check in was swift and efficient. We found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The room was tastefully decorated,the bed was comfortable and the bathroom... More

Oban is the main route to Mull, Iona and the Inner Hebrides it is probably not a town you would vacation in and I inmagine many of the hotels are one nght stops.The Rowantree Hotel is situated on Geroge Street in Oban, one street back from the waterfront, next to an amusment arcade and opposite the Oban Cathdral. The building... More

Four of us (two couples) were booked into the Rowantree Oban for a Saturday night stay on March 31st and we cannot fault the standard of this hotel. We originally were booked for the Columba Hotel in Oban, but at the last minute, our accommodation was changed. We paid £80 per couple bed and breakfast which was very reasonable for... More

Where do we start with this dump? We arrived and parked up and went for a walk around Oban. We were early but saw the hotel and although quite disappointed by outside we went in to let them know we were there. The receptionist curtly told us that our room wasnt ready yet but we asked if they had a... More

Just back from a trip to Oban where we stayed 1 night at the Rowantree. Parking was convenient and easy, a big plus in Oban. Room was good value for money and once the outside fan had stopped (about 11pm), it was reasonably quiet. However, the 'restaurant' is a steakhouse which is fine if you want steak but abit misleading... More

Today we stayed at the Rowantree Hotel in Oban. The first thing you will notice when you enter the car park is the bad greasy smell of the Restaurant. Our room was to the front, so we only were confronted with the greasy smell on the stairs down to the breakfast room. The only bread available for breakfast was plain... More

Centrally located. Not the prettiest to look at from outside. I assume I had a recently refurbished room. As it was clean & bright & modernised. Not so sure about the laminate floor. I do like a carpet. Bed was ok & slept well enough. Facilities were decent enough once inside, Free WiFi which was good as I need to... More

This is a lovely hotel, clean and basic. The Steakhouse that is with it is a little pricey but the whole of Oban is not cheap. Hotel room on front of building over looking main street so can be a little noisey from traffic if you need the windows open. Hotel room had lovely huge bed and room was very... More
