We had a twin room with a view of the sea and it was clean enough. There was black mould on the window frame. However the TV had no signal and although there was a telephone there was nothing to plug it into. We complained and they moved us to a lovely family room. No sea view but the staff were very helpful and kind

Old-fashioned hotel in the centre of town

The hotel is conveniently located for the ferry terminal, shops and restaurants. The staff at reception, in the restaurant and the bar were all helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful although the quality of cooked food was average. The food in the Rio restaurant was fine but the service was extremely slow - also there was no red Italian wine on the menu at a restaurant that describes itself as Italian (??). Our room was clean (apart from some mould in the shower) and over-furnished with slightly rickety furniture - the bed was not very comfortable, with very noisy mattress springs. Overall we had a pretty good stay.

Not much to expect for £50 a night, but its a tired place. Service in the Bar and Restaurant was poor and the food was basic. The ensuite room in 123 left much to the imagination how you fit in, and the shower could do with some attention.

Unfortunately my review is not a positive one. We booked a premium room and were sorely disappointed. The room as a fantastic size but the carpet was absolutely filthy. The bathroom tiled floor was full of cracks. The 6 panel door leading into the bathroom was filthy. Although the interior was dated, well worn it does not mean it should be dirty. The rubber bath mat was torn and should have been binned and replaced sometime ago. We were also unfortunate to have dinner there. My husband ordered fish and chips at a cost of £13.95. He was served with plate of cheap frozen processed food. The fish was rectangular in shape and instead of being light and fluffy it was hard condensed fish pieces, the kind you get in a pack of 4 at a freezer store. Frozen chips and frozen garden peas. I estimate the contents would cost 2-3 pounds at max. I ordered a desert of profiteroles wit cream and like the fish was straight out of bargain freezer shop. To eat this a large spoon was handed to me and before I could ask for a dessert fork and fresh napkin the waiter was off. The spoon I was given was probably there since the hotel opened. It was tarnished and extremely old. It was the type you fined in your grandfathers tool box. We paid £117 pounds for one night which didn’t include breakfast, however, this turned out to be a blessing. I’m of the opinion the room was over rated and should not be advertised as a premium room in a 3star hotel. This is probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Dated but good location

Quite a dated hotel but right on the main street so great location. Showers are terrible, not great having a cold shower in the morning. Also woke up by the fire alarm at 8am as someone was using deodorant in their room. Surely the smoke detectors should tell the difference.

Showing Its Age

Staff are trying hard, but the place is in need of an intense makeover. The hallway on the first floor is caving in, the lift may or may not be a hazard and water leaked badly in 2/3 bathrooms which led us to believe there might be mold. We booked for the Cowal games but the mob of teenagers on the steps was disconcerting and the carnival and partying kept us up until the wee hours. The fire alarm going off at 7 in the morning (maybe due to hairspray being sprayed) was the icing on the cake.
