Terribile . Una bettola
Pros:

Assolutamente niente

Cons:

Non capisco come un cesso di valutando si possa trovare su Booking. Terribile sporco arredamenti come mangiatoie di animali. Lavabo tutto rotto. Lenzuola gialle. Praticamente ho dormito sulla sedia. E chiedono anche 70 € di cauzione nel caso rompi qualcosa. Indescrivibile. Sto valutando di uscire da Booking.

Abhorrent conditions, did not stay the night
Pros:

Leaving this place. It was a relief

Cons:

Amidst the beauty of Loch Lomond lies a godforsaken hole they call the "Lomond Park Hotel". It once was a hotel, perhaps, but today it bears a resemblance to a haunted crime scene no soul wants to investigate.
​As soon as you open the back door (because there is no front door — the reception is located right next to the kitchen), you catch a whiff of decades-old dust, smoke, and vomit absorbed by the carefully stained carpets. Hey, but at least the carpet is red! You are a very special guest.
​At the reception, you are first greeted by a welcoming, AI-generated poster of a Scottish breakfast — making you unsure why the kitchen is even needed. The receptionist will then inform you that you must pay a £20 deposit for potential damages. Pure comedy.
​Then, you are headed to Room 14, if you are lucky. Someone must have been very eager to get in there before, because it is clear that the door was forced open in the past. It would require detective work to figure out exactly what transpired next, but I found several important clues:
​Walls stained with an unknown brown substance; A bloodied mattress with traces of urine;
​Bloodied curtains and windows;
​Cracked (potentially punched) walls and sink;
​A shared shower covered in mold.
​Upon informing the receptionist that we were leaving, they asked us what it was that we expected. Seriously.
​No refund was provided, apart from that £20 damage deposit. The only thing that could be damaged any further is my mental health. There is no way this place can pass any sort of inspection, but it sure does call for a full-on investigation. False advertisement.

Perfect place for a 1 night stay😁
Pros:

De restaurant manager was echt super vriendelijk en gastvrij. Hij checkte mij ook in de ochtend uit en was oprecht geïnteresseerd wat ik verder nog ging doen.

Cons:

Misschien had de gedeelde douche nog wat schoner kunnen zijn. Verder was de kamer wel super netjes en schoon.

Für viel Geld die letzte Schrottunterkunft, laut und unfreundlich.
Pros:

Zentral an der Hauptstraße gelegen, gute Erreichbarkeit, kostenlose Parkplätze vor der Tür

Cons:

Auf meine Beschwerdemail an Booking.com am 30.05.2026 mit der Forderung, eine Rückerstattung zu erhalten, wurde bis heute nicht reagiert. Für 72 Pfund ohne Frühstück eine dreckige, laute und unverschämte Unterkunft bekommen. Falsche und ungenügende Informationen zur Unterkunft auf Booking.com. Erst im Hotel wird mit Hinweisen an der Wand an der Rezeption und auf dem Zimmer auf die Laufstärke und der lauten Bar hingewiesen. Auf Anfrage werden Earplugs (Gehörschutz) ausgehändigt. Diese nutzten nichts, da sich mein Zimmer genau über der Bar im 1. Obergeschoss befand. Laute Partygäste im Nebenzimmer. Beim Einchecken hatte man mir versprochen, ein leises Zimmer nach hinten zu bekommen. Fehlanzeige. Auf Nachfrage, das Zimmer zu wechseln, hat man behauptet, ausgebucht zu sein. Das stimmte nicht. Es waren kaum Gäste zur Übernachtung da. Im Gespräch mit Kelly um 1 h nachts, der Barbetreiberin, die äußerst abweisend reagierte, war kein Kompromiss zu finden. Die Ausstattung ist miserabel, die Gemeinschaftsbäder besitzen keine Steckdosen, der Spiegel im Zimmer ist auf dem Waschbecken aufgesetzt (Achtung Unfallgefahr) und nicht an der Wand befestigt, die Vorhänge sind eine Katastrophe, der Schrank hat keine Türen, Regale sind schmutzig, der Fußboden ist schmutzig, im Flur der Teppichboden extrem schmutzig, auf der Toilette nicht ausreichend Toilettenpapier. Laute und dreckige Bar im Erdgeschoss, unfreundliche Mitarbeiter im Restaurant. Der einzige nette Mensch war der junge Mann Lamb an der Rezeption, dem ich zur Abreise früh morgens am 31.05.2026. die Zimmerschlüssel übergeben habe. Die allergrößte Unverschämtheit ist, dass ein Pfand von 35 Pfund für Schlüssel und Schäden erhoben wird. Man müsste bevor das Zimmer bezogen wird, auf alle bereits vorhandene Schäden hinweisen. Mehr Schäden kann man selbst gar nicht verursachen. Jede Jugendherberge und Hostel ist im Zustand besser, als dieses Drecksloch. Keine Empfehlung, besser dort nicht übernachten. Ist kein Geld wert.

Dated but room was comfortable and clean
Pros:

Rooms were spotless. You get what you pay for with the hotel. Bathroom was also immaculate and fresh looking

Cons:

Stairs leading to the rooms gives the impression of a really bad and unclean hotel. Change Stair carpet and paint the door then your onto a winner

Lacking in attention to detail; staff appeared untrained in customer service.
Pros:

Good value. Food in the restaurant good.

Cons:

The reception and stairs area were dirty and needed decorating. Black mould in the shower. The wardrobe door needed fixing to make it work. No bin in the bathroom, no soap for the sink. The rooms were never serviced or topped up with supplies or towels changed. 3 nights running we were promised that milk would be brought to the rooms, but the staff forgot on each occasion. We were surprised to be charged a deposit on arrival in case we broke anything.
