8/10 Good

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.
Aileen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

On arrival we saw a sign saying that reception was closed (30 minutes after check in started) but a member of ataff came from the bar to help. Very helpful and showed us up to our room. Our room was on the second floor with no lifts, but managed ok. Hallway stank of smoke, I assume a fellow guest was smoking in their room as no smell in rest of hotel. Also they must have been doing it again first thing this morning as we woke up smelling cigarette smoke in our room. We couldn't find any staff to tell until we checked out this morning. Room was lovely and big. While I appreciate that I booked the economy room option, it was very tired looking and not worth £77 for the night. Stains on walls, in bedroom and bathroom. Stained hand towel hanging in bathroom. Stains behind kettle and all over the coffee/tea sachets. Loose and wobbly plugs. Bed mattress lumpy and not comfortable. The bedside lamp next to the bathroom let out a high pitched buzzing noise and I dont think its safe for use. I had a shower and the dial is fitted upside down and flitted between scalding and freezing. The door also didnt close properly in shower so i kept hitting myself. No shower gel or shampoo. I have taken pictures of the issues but can't see how to upload on Expedia. Overall just feels dated, tired and in need of manitenance. I saw in other reviews that some rooms have been updated so possibly others will be done in future but I wouldn't stay here again unfortunately.

Very nice stay and a very comfy bed with a lovely wee view of the ferry port. The male at reception was very friendly and made us feel so welcome!
Charley, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

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.
Fiona, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Denise, 1-night trip

Staff go out there way phoned about the dog and hotel phoned back nothing too much trouble
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Paul, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

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.
