The location is excellent and we had a front facing room with beautiful views. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we were shown round the function room and given an explanation of some local history. We booked breakfast when we arrived and we could pick the time we wanted to eat. Breakfast was good and service was very good.

Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Bathroom could do with updating. Shower worked but cold water tap on bath was jammed. Crack in basin and bathroom door did not shut.

The Victoria Hotel on the Isle of Bute offers a prime location with its breathtaking marina and ocean views, especially from the lounge dining area where you can truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Our room was on the 2nd floor; do note that the hotel does not have a lift, which wasn't a problem for us but might be worth considering for those with mobility issues.

As charming as it is, being an old wooden structure, the hotel has its quirks, such as the persistent squeak of the floorboards, which can be particularly noticeable at night. However, the hosts more than make up for any minor inconveniences with their warm hospitality and eagerness to please. While the exterior could benefit from a fresh coat of paint, the interior is well maintained, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Overall, the Victoria Hotel provides a wonderful base to enjoy the stunning locale, and despite a few niggles, it's a place I'd recommend for its character and exceptional location.

We went to Bute to walk the West Island Way and this hotel is very convenient for that, being 2 minutes walk from the ferry terminal, the bus station (for buses to the start points of different sections of the walk) and a co-op (for food for packed lunches). Our bedroom was very comfortable and clean, with a large bathroom and excellent shower. We had a fantastic view over the bay (see attached photo) and could watch the ferries arriving, impressively lit up at night. Breakfast was fine, well cooked and presented. We also had dinner one night in the hotel; the food was good and reasonably priced and the menu had a wide range of options.

I would have liked more non-cooked options for breakfast e.g. fruit and yoghourt. As others have remarked, the hotel looks a little scruffy from the outside. Inside it is in very good shape, however.

Can't comment as everything was gd from.arriving till going home next day location perfect 2 mins from getting off ferry & lovely people around always love going into the pub called the golfer's. Went for some food too the diner in the esplanade .bit pricy though but enjoyed the food

Beautiful views, great to have both bath and shower, socket next to bed, good mirrors, tea/coffee/kettle, comfortable bed and bedding, breakfast nicely cooked at time of my choice, staff pleasant when available.

Difficult to find staff at check-in, breakfast and check-out

Excellent breakfast. Room way better than anticipated with lovely view to the front. Corridor to room would benefit from more sympathetic lighting. You can see that there has been recent and possibly ongoing investment in this hotel. If that keeps up then this could become a great choice in Rothesay.

Convenient location 2 minutes from the ferry. Also handy for the bus stop and a lovely view over the sea. The staff were welcoming and flexible - we requested an early check in as we were going to a wedding and they went above and beyond to have the room ready for us before we headed to the wedding. Lovely breakfast ready for when we requested it - very friendly and efficient!

The bathroom was a little outdated but clean and everything working.

Excellent location with good decor and very clean. Good sized room with good bed and bathroom offered a bath & shower complete with toiletries. Meals were excellent and served in a modern well decorated restaurant overlooking the seafront, staff were first class helpful and polite. The drawbacks are no parking although as the day progresses Street parking becomes available. Not suitable for less able-bodied folks as two flights of spiral staircase to reception, with most rooms further up the stairs. You will be glad of the room's abundance of tea or coffee. A multi channel TV is in the room. This is a Victorian building hence no lifts, however I did enjoy my break.

No lift, no parking.

Location is fabulous, right on the sea front. Hotel rooms was clean and fresh with a few view over the sea as requested. First class breakfast was made to order and was very nice.

The bathroom was clean but it could have done with a curtain or blind, even thought the window class was frosted and you couldn't see out I noticed that if you where outside and there was someone in the toilet with the light on you can see the person very clearly

Breakfast choice was very good. Room was very comfortable with a lovely view. Courteous and friendly staff.

It was very quiet, due to the season,and I felt a little anxious at the lack of other guests.
