8/10 Very good

Done the job, but it's a tired old place

Room was clean, facilities were good, staff were friendly. Could be such a grand hotel but it needs a massive amount of investment. The front facade looks like it's ready to fall away from the structure. Really looks dangerous. Main timber beams are rotten.
Jon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely staff

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was fine for what we needed. We had dogs with us. We had dinner in the bar, it was ok. But we decided not to stay for breakfast. Great for getting the ferry. The hotel is old and needs a lot of money to spend on it but the owners are trying. We would stay again as it’s affordable and very friendly.

Great room

I really like this hotel. If you like old style architecture like me this is great. We stayed in the arran room where the view was amazing looking down on the ferry terminal. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Absolutely amazing hotel. Unsure what the bad reviews are about as our stay was amazing. The room was up to date and very spacious, we loved the added touch of the toilet roll haha. The lady on reception was wonderful and so nice. We will definitely be back.

Very nice stay and a very comfy bed with a lovely wee view of the ferry port. The male at reception was very friendly and made us feel so welcome!
Charley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay, would recommend

Lovely, comfortable stay in a large room which suited us having 2 dogs with us. Staff excellent, super friendly and accommodating. Hotel is comfortable and cozy and is a very old building which the owners are continuing to upgrade. Beautifully spacious and high ceilings with many period features. Breakfast was great too. Will definitely be back.
Morag, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It is clearly their out of season time as reception closed the whole time we were there and various works going on. Room clean but all other areas were not. Very disappointed with the price paid.
Fiona, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The town is small and so many people seem like they are friends. they treat us like friends too. enjoyed the staff
Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyable stay

We arrived to no electric at the hotel due to storm Bert. Fortunately the electric wasn’t off for long, and we were shown to our newly refurbished room. It was nicely decorated, with a large bathroom and shower cubicle. The bed was comfortable and the room warm and it was quiet. The only downside was I paid for a sea view room but did not get this. I got a room overlooking an over grown garden.

Staff go out there way phoned about the dog and hotel phoned back nothing too much trouble
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was right across the road from the car ferry to Gourock, which was the reason we chose it. An old-fashioned, impressive building - but be aware that there is no lift to the upper floors. We had a nice seaview room, and the beds were comfy. Check-in/out was easy too.

Disappointing breakfast. No fruit, one type of cereal and cooked breakfast with single portion of each item.

No hot water from taps ,
Paul, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The water stopped working on the final night, although it apparently got fixed. I woke up this morning to it not working at all. Was unable to have a shower. When checking out I tried to let the staff know but I waited for 20 minutes at the desk rang the bell multiple times and no one came. So I had to just leave the key and and was not given an opportunity to make them aware and request a partial refund.
Alex, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

Oh dear. Judging by the photos shown here on “Hotels”, I must have stayed at another hotel by the same name. On the plus side, I found the manager extremely helpful, and the other staff I met, friendly and helpful too. I’m very thankful to management for including breakfasts for the 2 night stay as recompense of issues raised during my stay. I think the owners were trying to make a good go of the business, but local government charges and business fees have had an impact on them, and progress has stopped or slowed right down. This was not the hotel I expected to stay in, going by the photos and some reviews. Would I return, not likely at this time. Perhaps after many upgrades to the building and its fabric, I may consider it.
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dissapointed!

We've stayed here a number of times over the years and put up with the state of it as the owner was doing it up as it close to the HD rally site. This year we got a room at the top and although it had been renovated in the past it was terrible, torn wall paper, no tv reception, no towel rail, no toilet holder and the worst thing was my wife nearly got scolded with the shower. The lovely views are obscured by paint stains and cobwebs. The pigeons are obviously roosting in the part of the building that is blocked off. From the outside all the window frames are rotted away. There is major rot to the structural woodwork on the beams over the front so much so that most of it is missing. We told pur concerns on leaving and at least they removed our breakfast charge but we wont be back as it needs major overhaul before it even comes up to a decent standard.
Alexander, 2-night trip
