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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
