    The decor. Not for me. But the room served it's purpose for the weekend.

    Room size was decent and staff were very friendly.

    The only things wrong were that they had an event and music, which was very loud, didn’t stop until after 1230 (am) and there were people laughing and joking outside the door till 0330 (am). Also, the restaurant was closed due to staff shortage.

    The property was beautiful, the staff were very helpful, helping take bags to our room, very chatty. Great sea view room.

    Very central to the marine once we came off the ferry we parked up straight across the road and never needed to take the car out again

    We had a family room with a sea view, the room was warm and very spacious. We overlooked the marine and could see the ferry’s loading and unloading, the view was spectacular and is probably the best vantage point for watching the marine activities in Dunoon

    I appreciate that the hotel is currently being renovated, so there are workers everywhere. It is an old building, which brings its own charm. Would love to stay again when the work is completed.

    Great location and super friendly staff

    The room (24) was a large family room with a double bed and 2 single beds. The view was superb overlooking the ferry terminal and very entertaining for our 5 year old. Who knew 20 cars plus 2 big lorries could all fit on fine. There was no noise either due to the secondary glazing on the room’s windows. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend.

    Hotel was a nice place to stay for one night, but could do with a full time handy-man.

    at Breakfast, cereal had finished, one girl was trying to clear tables, take orders, bring food and coffee. She apologised to each table for the delay in getting their breakfast. Was very obvious hotel were under staffed. Bathroom looked as if it had recently been renovated, but radiator was missing and shower rail was loose, plus no toilet roll holder. Things just were not finished properly, would need a full time handy-man to keep on top of maintainance jobs

    staff were very polite, room was clean and comfortable

    Great location , just across the road from the ferry station . Lovely staff , everyone was really friendly and accommodating, we had a dog traveling with us and we had no problems at all . They also organised that we could have breakfast in the bar area so our dog could stay with us , thank you for that and for all the recommended places to visit . We will be back for sure .

    No food, however, it is out of season so understandable. Recommendations for food in Dunoon were excellent.

    Beautiful old building. Rooms have been recently refurbished and the property is also undergoing work at the moment. There was no disturbance with noise but we just saw decorators etc. around.
