A beautiful ‘but very tired’ building which is in desperate need of a refurbishment.
Pros:

It’s in a great location

Cons:

Tired 80s decor and most definitely now ‘out of date’ style over substance.

The bed’s desperately need replacing. The sprung mattresses had very little padding and it was the most uncomfortable of any hotel bed I have tried to sleep on.

Lovely to be back at the Argyll after lots of years. Very clean hotel, couldn’t fault the efforts to maintain cleanlines
Pros:

Very central location & staff were lovely. Friendly and helpful without being too much.

Cons:

If you have a view on to Main Street from your room, it can be very noisy if a weekend, in to the wee small hours.
