The Aircon didn't work and we had noisy neighbours but the guy on the desk was lovely the property is nice. Location is good. We would stay again but maybe go up from a budget room to a slightly bigger one x

Unfortunately the toilet did not flush , no staff available to report too until we checked out in the morning. They did say they would check it however, it was rather inconvenient . There is no bar available in the hotel . Great location - shame about the overall condition and lack of maintenance

Whilst we were given an early check in our room was far from clean. Hairs in the sink and toilet. Cobwebs on the walls. Windows were mouldy and looked out onto waste ground. Rooms either side of us through the night were incredibly loud, several calls made to reception but no answer so staff did nothing to resolve this.

On arrival we saw a sign saying that reception was closed (30 minutes after check in started) but a member of ataff came from the bar to help. Very helpful and showed us up to our room. Our room was on the second floor with no lifts, but managed ok. Hallway stank of smoke, I assume a fellow guest was smoking in their room as no smell in rest of hotel. Also they must have been doing it again first thing this morning as we woke up smelling cigarette smoke in our room. We couldn't find any staff to tell until we checked out this morning. Room was lovely and big. While I appreciate that I booked the economy room option, it was very tired looking and not worth £77 for the night. Stains on walls, in bedroom and bathroom. Stained hand towel hanging in bathroom. Stains behind kettle and all over the coffee/tea sachets. Loose and wobbly plugs. Bed mattress lumpy and not comfortable. The bedside lamp next to the bathroom let out a high pitched buzzing noise and I dont think its safe for use. I had a shower and the dial is fitted upside down and flitted between scalding and freezing. The door also didnt close properly in shower so i kept hitting myself. No shower gel or shampoo. I have taken pictures of the issues but can't see how to upload on Expedia. Overall just feels dated, tired and in need of manitenance. I saw in other reviews that some rooms have been updated so possibly others will be done in future but I wouldn't stay here again unfortunately.

Always a warm welcome, comfy beds, very quiet and peaceful. Staff really go the extra mile. Even brought us plates and cutlery for our takeaway. Lovely old place.

"JUST READ SPEAKS FOR ITSELF "

10.0

The hotel was class , looked dated , which i like , but the rooms were like wow , wouldn't expect going into a hotel which on the outside , and in the halls were like walking into the late 19th century the i went into a room a basic btw , and a beautiful mural of david bowie and just transformed it into modern, was such a wow factor , the staff were like family , we went to the pub about 3 mile away , and the boss was there , talking away as if we were family, ive never felt so like home but while away , i only came on here to book again and noticed it asked for a review, honestly , if you want the marriot or the hilton , (which lets be honest all loom the same) the you wont be happy , but if you want to walk into history and get to your room with a view , and the room transports you back , then this is it, i honestly loved this place that much i phoned up rough and asked for an extra night , the town is so welcoming , the taxi driver was class , the kebab shop was class , everyone was happy , and trust me i tried to annoy people , they just go with it , an amazing place and an amazing bunch of people xxx

"2 out of 5"

4.0

It was ok. It was very basic. Beds were comfortable and the hotel is nice and quiet and in a beautiful spot. Service was very poor, we didn’t come across a single member of staff over the 2 days we stayed, including check in and out. We had no hot water during our stay through either tap or shower, but no staff available to help. One of our windows was broken so couldn’t get it open during 30 degree heat. No batteries in the TV remote. I could cope with these issues if room was a cheaper price.

"Weekend break"

10.0

Great wee weekend in Dunoon stayed in various hotels there but this was a surprise package, looking at the building might give the wrong impression of it. Beautiful old building which maintains a lot of its periodic charm and features but our room was very modern, spacious, clean and comfortable. Dillon and his partner were very welcoming and fully hands on at any request and with pup Willow on hand for cuteness made a great team to relate with even if her teeth are like needles, thats the pup not his partner :-) . Will definetly look for this hotel first the next time we go back to Dunoon.
