Breakfast was okay but I/we've experienced better in other independent and national chain hotels. Dinner likewise. Staff were excellent. Very friendly & helpful.

Appears a tad tired in places & would benefit from some investment in upgrading/decoration. Spider webs on ceilings indicate a lack of attention. Shower was hit or miss...becoming cold both mornings, or taking a long time to heat, then go cold. Downstairs bar: having purchased a couple of drinks to sit outside in the excellent weather, I went in to get more only to be shown the bar tenders watch (6pm exactly) & told he couldn't serve as it was...6pm!!! A bit pedantic considering it was 6pm on the dot (on his watch). Flexibility & common sense is required here! A very old building that's now showing its age & lack of investment. Pity, because it's ideally positioned - though free parking in the adjacent public car park is a lottery & very limited.

I had occasion to stay in Argyll hotel on 24th December and 31st December 2022. The building is architecturally pleasing. I was delighted on both occasions to find that the heaters were already on in the rooms, and the rooms lovely and warm. Everything was sparkling clean. The shower had very good water pressure. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I had dinner in the restaurant both times and the food was tasty. I ate breakfast there on one of the stays, and the full cooked breakfast was very good. This is a boutique style hotel, in a historic building. The price was very reasonable. Don't expect five-star levels of amenity - you'd pay several times as much for that. There is free WIFI for internet and it was rock solid (I had a little trouble connecting, but that is the fault of my new laptop, not the hotel's WiFi). I had a comfortable stay which met my needs perfectly, staff were nice, and I'd happily stay there again.

On my second overnight stay, Room 119 had only one hanger in the little wardrobe. This was not a serious inconvenience, however!

Based myself here for 2 nights whilst walking the Cowal Way. Prices for hotels en route were unaffordable for a solo walker. Great location 5 minutes from the pier for ferries and buses. Single room was warm, had hot drinks and a TV. Ensuite small but functional Very reasonable price for a single walker. I don't normally eat at hotel restaurants but after the first night, decided it was so good value that I would eat there the second night. Italian/Spanish menu - good sized tasty portios at a very reasonable price.

Lift was very slow but that's a minor dislike

Nice enough room which was clean and well presented. Staff brilliant especially "sudsie" the pot washer who was a load of fun and John at reception who also was a laugh a minute.. I hate stuffed penguin types of staff and these guys made my day. If I have one small problem it's the water temp..... Ran a bath but it was only tepid. Shower in morning also a tad chilly. Food good and quick and efficient service. All in all we enjoyed our stay here.

As said, the hot water was not hot and as I suffer from the cold it kinda put a downer on my stay...

I asked for a room with a river/sea view and the room I was given was exceptional from this point of view. It was on the 2nd floor and on the front corner of the building, with excellent river/sea views in both directions.

Apart from the stunning views, the room itself, along with much of the hotel, is rather jaded and well past its prime. The mattress was sagging, mould was beginning to appear on the bathroom ceiling (I'm used to that but other people would not be happy), the carpet was worn, the lift creaked ominously. The restaurant is very small and the food is just adequate - not what I would expect from the premium hotel in town.

Staff were very welcoming and let us have early check in which was much appreciated. Room has an amazing view in two directions of beautiful scenery. Bed was comfy, pillows soft, excellent provision of tea, biscuits and bathroom soaps etc. Bar was well priced too and such a great location for exploring the area with a bus stop just outside, ferry across the road and taxi firm not far away.

The bathroom light did that painful kind of extreme flicker to get on, that means going to the bathroom in the middle of the night does wake you up a lot. Have to consider the age of the property though in which case the light is completely normal.

Location is really good, right in the heart of Dunoon. We had dinner in the restaurant and everyone’s meals were nice. Room was clean and quite big. Nice outdoor seated area to have drinks/food. Staff were all friendly. Only negative was it took ages to be served in the restaurant, waited about 30mins from when we ordered our drinks and food was about 45 minutes. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I think with a few small changes it could be a really nice well run hotel

The location of the hotel is great right in the centre, plus there is parking for motorbikes just outside the main door. The guy on receiption was very helpful and a very pleasent to deal with and helful. Good sandwhich shop over the road.

Breakfast was way too pricey and heard it wasn't great or worth the money so glad we didn't pay for it. The drinks in the bar are a little pricey, lower them and people will stay in instead of going round town.

Great location for an event we were attending and free safe parking a minutes walk away. Rooms were spotless and the room I was in had had the bathroom recently refurbished and was lovely. Evening meal of steak pie and fish and chips was delicious, good portions and very reasonably priced. Wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

Nothing, the entrance lobby would benefit from a freshen up as it doesn't represent what a lovely hotel is further on, but wouldn't stop me staying again.

Cracking hotel. Warm welcome. Great size room. Bathroom very modern (loved the mirror). Beautiful smelling toiletries, lovely soft towels. Tea, coffee, biscuits, kettle, bottles of water, and hairdryer provided. Lovely staff.. Gr8 bar. Only had a snack before leaving, which was good, so I can't really comment on the restaurant. Although it is beautiful and modern (Rio). Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family. 😁

Mattress was a bit hard for me., but that may be just preference. The only thing i would suggest is hooks for jackets in the room, especially when it's chucking it down outside, and you need to hang your soaking coat somewhere. No fridge in room to keep drinks cold. Even a mini fridge would have been ideal. 😉
