Guest Reviews

I K F (10/5): Esplanade - Fine pleasant hotel
Verified traveler (6/5): - I liked that it was near the beach. What I didn't like was our room was not cleaned once during our stay.Even the bed wasn't made.
Verified traveler (2/5): Double booking hotel management! - I arrived at about 15:00 on day of booking to be told my booking had been cancelled on 10th June. I can find no trace of the cancellation on the day, no computer with me, just a confirmation of booking printout. Asked to leave! Expedia can find no documentation of cancellation. Hotels cannot find any cancellation nor can OYO so I presume the hotel cancelled, did not tell me but they had double booked. BEWARE! All accommodation in town booked due to major event. 2 coach loads in hotel could be the reason! No refund as yet from cancellation!
Verified traveler (6/5): Okay for a night - Hotel is a bit dated, room was very very small, bed okay, pillow's too hard. View out the window was a derelict building and grounds. Dinner menu wasn't good. Didn't try breakfast. Staff member at reception was friendly and polite.
Billy (6/5): - Pro. The bar and garden were alright Con. Breakfast was not in the hotel but at another hotel half a mile away which is totally unacceptable.
alan (6/5): - Hi our stay was fine, not outstanding. For breakfast we had to walk to other hotel , hotel was fine staff friendly but in need of TLC
Graeme (6/5): Missed opportunity to impress - Room was clean, however bedside light wasnt working. Request made for walk in shower due to mobility issues but wasn't available. No milk sachets in the hotel for the complimentary tea/coffee. Was advised that there were 5 steps, however there were at least 15 steps to the room which due mobility issues presented hazard. Breakfast was meant to be included however breakfast consisted of a packet of sandwiches, a bottle of juice, crisps and a packet of biscuits in a brown bag. Overall, disappointing.
Marisa (2/5): - DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! After a long day of travel, and being soaking wet, we finally got to the hotel only to be told THEY OVERBOOKED and sent us an email saying we were thrown over to their sister hotel. I never received an email about an overbooking nor did I get any prior notification of being booked at another hotel. The horrible woman at the front desk kept insisting she had send an email notifying me they had overbooked but I never received such notification. The staff was rude and rushed us out the door so they could continue to shuffle through their papers. DO NOT STAY HERE. Choose somewhere else to spend your money.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Really unique property. We felt we were in the past, most guests relaxing in the lounge waiting to be called for dinner. Beautiful view of the water, the property was right on the promenade. The dinner was a set price and included 3 courses. It was excellent! We enjoyed our stay except for the door would creak with the breeze and kept us awake until we finally thought to jam something in between. But all in all, was a great place to stay and I would stay again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was clean, quiet and breakfast amazing. Definitely will return.
Verified traveler (8/5): Not a bad place to stay quiet and comfortable..... - Good
Alexander (10/5): Excellent stay " doon the watter " - Manager and Shona on reception were extremely nice and helpful, as were all the staff we came in contact with. The hotel was in an excellent position with a wonderful outlook on the Bay. our room was excellent, but in spite of being very busy Shona assisted us by upgrading to room with sea view ( Angus ) as soon as it became available without charge. Would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone wishing a break in Dunoon. Breakfast excellent and plentiful. Bar service excellent and moderately priced.
Malcolm (8/5): - Lots of creaks when people moved in upstairs rooms. Breakfast service slow as a coach load was staying
Verified traveler (8/5): - Wonderful view. Hotel right on the long esplanade on the loch. Great leisurely walk after breakfast
Verified traveler (10/5): - Weather help, seats outside with a drink . Great breakfast & variety. & all hot . Friendly staff
Verified traveler (10/5): First Time in Scotland - Charming hotel with wonderful breakfast with a lovely view for morning photo taking. Shower/tub was difficult to get in and out, however.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Stayed a couple of nights, nIce hotel with clean rooms and a well cooked hot breakfast, pleasant staff - would recommend and would stay again
Susan (6/5): Ok for a night - A bit run down. Guests smoking right next to the terrace door means walking through a smoky area to get from our room location to main part of hotel. Noticed a musty smell in the common lounge area. Food service at meals felt rushed.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very attentive staff, happy friendly manager. Dinner was good as was the breakfast.
Lorraine (8/5): Wee family overnight! - Value for money break, friendly staff and comfortable rooms!
Ian (8/5): 4 night stay - I spent 4 nights at the esplanade hotel staff were friendly room was clean food was good this is the 3rd time which I have stayed there would go back again but to a different room which has a view
Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely hitel staff very pleasant would highly recommend
Joseph (10/5): Chillax - Lovely stay weather a bonus lovely staff and breakfast central for town 👌
kin (2/5): - When I went to the hotel, I found that it was closed. Why still recommend and accept me on the Internet? During the period, nobody informed me to change to other hotel. This made me unacceptable and unhappy.
Michael (8/5): - Great hotel, lovely view and really nice people.
P (6/5): Dunoon Right On The Front - Friendly staff and a good breakfast but the evening meal left much to be desired. My wife ordered gammon but was served to wafer thin cooked ham. We should have guessed that there was likely to be a catch when we were offered a 4 course meal plus coffee for £15.95 each. The room was adequate for the price but it was so small that there was no room for bed side tables. Overall I would say that we found it mixed.
Donnie (10/5): Enjoyable stay - Excellent location to localities. Hotel friendly with nothing a problem. Breakfast and evening meals adequate and tasty. We had a double room on ground floor with view of bay which is comfortable and expected for price paid. Welcoming front of house staff too. Would return again. Husbands First time back here in 50 years as a teenager and was not disappointed.
Andrew (10/5): Nice hotel - I stayed here on a motorcycle tour round Scotland. The room was clean, warm and breakfast was good.
Jack (2/5): Faulty Towers - Car park, rough piece of land. Room out dated. Half hearted attempt at a refurb. Shower grab rail all rust. Shower doors thick with dirt and scum. Not a nice place to stay. TV had to be tuned, no signal on it when we arrived. Dirty pillow all stained. Breakfast was OK.
Bryan (8/5): Great single room with a sea view - Lovely single room with a sea view , perfect for a one night stay , while cycling
Kevin (8/5): Restful stay at hotel with great views - The hotel provided a good backdrop to a restful time spent in Dunoon.From the lounge area it has a wide panorama of the esplanade -the garden provide another restful area. The single room I occupied was presented to a high standard with a good level of storage space.In my estimation this hotel provides very good value for the facilities it provides.
margaret (8/5): Close to the beach. Parking at back of hotel. - Lovely hotel. People nice. Food good. Rooms comfortable and clean. Beach right outside the door.
Cherry (8/5): Excellent views - Hotel was close too most amenities, its on the beach front bus terminal is 3 minutes walk also ferry terminal.
rob (4/5): dated hotel close to pebble beach - on arrival had to change room as shower didn't work,matress springs creaked and you could feel springs, evening meal was of small portions only had one meal there ,poor quality ,cutlery/tea pots etc not clean ( stainless steel utensils been in dish washer and not dried or polished ) staff at breakfast time was like watching ants who didn't know who had ordered what for breakfast.
Dee (8/5): Fabulous sea views. Nice food. Great breakfast - Had to wait some time for breakfast as there was a coach party in the hotel. Otherwise really good.
PHILIP (8/5): Try it! - Ok, so the decor has seen better days but the staff and service make up for any of that. Very quick service with a friendly smile. The staff are a credit to this hotel.
Judith (8/5): Before the voyage - Great location for departure on sea voyage to the Hebrides, right by the marina. Excellent services despite the small size of Sandbank.
Ian (8/5): - This hotel was very clean, although the room was a bit small but adequate. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast had a varied choice of starters and mains and was cooked to perfection. Plenty of tea, coffee and toast was available. Overall I would stay here again.
Dayne (8/5): Good - Good hotel but dated but room a lot modern! Went out there way to sort us some breakfast as we had to leave at 6 in the morning! Thanks again
Liz (6/5): - Great situation, lovely bright lounges looking over west bay and down the Clyde
Gordon (10/5): True Scottish Hospitality - Superb comfortable rooms and lovely meals. A fantastic ambiance for a relaxing break.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good value. V convenient for the town
Andrew (10/5): Dunoon Ultra Marathon - I stayed in this hotel for the weekend as I was running the Dunoon ultra Marathon on the Saturday. I got up too early for breakfast so they made me a free packed lunch. Even though I had checked out they allowed me to leave my car at the overflow car park all day. Exceptional staff, first class service and a lovely hotel with stunning views across the bay.
dave (8/5): great seaviews, very pleasant stay. - Have stayed here before and have had a great break each time, staff extremelly helpfull, food good, hotel and rooms clean.
Verified traveler (8/5): - I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the breakfast was excellent, the room was nice and the staff was helpful.
Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel by the beach - It is a very grand hotel right by the beach. We are lucky that our room faces the beach. Great location, excellent staff and nice facilities.
Jamie (6/5): Nicely located hotel with easy walking into Dunoon - A lot of effort has gone into updating and redecorating but the hotel still unfortunately has a tired feel about it. Our double "sea view" room was very small as was the window, which made it impossible to comfortably enjoy the view. There was an issue with the TV signal which severely restricted our viewing options. When I told the front desk they said they knew there was a problem but it was unlikely to be resolved within our visit. We should have at least been made aware of this at check in. Food was just about OK but no more and served by very friendly and helpful waiting staff which helped our overall experience. Overall disappointed with our stay and unlikely to return.
MALC (8/5): lovely room looking out over the sea good breakfas - very comfortable friendly and helpful staff easy to park the car
Alex (8/5): One night stay - Pleasant hotel close to town centre and with beautiful views. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast and comfortable , clean room. Good value and intend returning.
Sue (10/5): Excellent choice - Needed a place to meet up with friends and this was a lovely place to stay. Extremely friendly staff and a comfortable clean room.
