    The place could do with an upgrade in decorating and electric socket. It could do with been more clean in areas that's you do not see.

    Near to the town and sea, ferry. Entertainment.

    My mother didn't like the fact you have to walk through restaurant to get our room (it didn't bother me as I was glad of a ground floor room) thank you.

    I have mobility issues and everything was taking into consideration

    Rooms are very unkept. They are clean but very much basic. Rooms need a bit of updating. Very dull and dreary. Could decorate the rooms like the dining room.

    Location was fantastic on the waterfront. Very close to restaurants and bars. Beautiful scenery. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfaat was lovely. Dini g room decpr was very upto date and modern. Very bright and spacious.

    My room looked rather tired, however wallpaper and carpet in good condition. Very comfortable bed. Decor could do with an update. Public rooms very nice and contemporary.

    Comfort generally, delicious meals served by friendly staff and of course the panoramic views of the Clyde! Nice garden too.

    Only the top windows opened and as it was a very hot day the bedroom became very hot. Admittedly it was a very hot day.

    I didn’t order breakfast owing to an early start but was offered a packed lunch instead. It was sensibly filled and suited me well.

    Our room was a lengthy walk from reception along narrow, undulating corridors with squeaky flooring and many doors and we were conscious of waking other guests when we returned late at night. The breakfast and coffee was not great.

    Very convenient location for the Argyll Rally, just a 10 minute walk to the Dunoon stage. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel car park was good and very close.

    Hotel a little dated, like a rabbit warren, shower was a bit small and quite a step up for older people.

    Situation second to non. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast.

    like all hotels of this era {Victorian?] a little shabby but clean and food and staff more than make up for this.

    Breakfast only available for one hour - not convenient for us. No buffet, was all served, though the waitresses and waters were all good. Despite advertising wifi - it did not exist on our floor (3). "Possibly available in the bar" was the answer we got after enquiring about it. Hotel on the route for coach tours of Scotland - so restaurant was full at breakfast. We arrived about 7 pm and were told that the restaurant was closed - meaning the coach parties had all finished. If you need shower gel you go to reception and ask them. (EHH??)
