Central location, comfortable room.
Pros:

Clean linen, towels, room. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. Kettle for drinks provided. Lovely welcome from chap on reception. Ideal location for the Queen’s Hall. Easy parking on the quayside. Breakfast basic but OK.

Cons:

Common areas - stairs, corridors are very tired. Bathroom was chilly. Worst was the noise at night, till gone 2.00am. Nothing at all the hotel can do, but at one point the yelling and screaming outside was so bad, I thought there was a riot going on! Hence, very poor night’s sleep.

Well appointed historic flagship hotel for dunoon
Pros:

It is a friendly hotel, very popular with older travellers as traditional approach and menu, the public areas are well maintained, other areas would benefit from updating but it is well positioned with great staff which make up for this. Within a couple of days you become part of the family. Bed was really comfy, great views and ease to town

Cons:

The lift is small and slow so therefore being agile with stairs is important if you want to go up to room regularly, lift is adequate particularly for suitcases etc so don't let that put you off

Incredible staff and a fab location to explore Dunoon
Pros:

The staff were exceptionally kind and supportive even before I unexpectedly took quite ill and after coming back from hospital they could not have been more understanding or accommodating to my needs, especially John he’s a gem. Also the food was delicious.

Cons:

Everything was as I asked for, it’s a dated building but with plenty of character. a lot of history and charm.
