A couple of girls and i jumped on the train from central glasgow, got the ferry across to bonny Dunoon! Literally a two minute walk down the promenande and we were by the Hotel. There is no public traffic outside the hotel, since all roads are behind. Once we had checked in and shown to our rooms the reception staff... more

The service was excellent. The four course dinner was served very quickly even when the restaurant was busy. The breakfast was ample, dinner was decent quality and varied. Reception was very helpful with queries. I had a decent sized single room with an en-suite which was clean, bright with a decent shower. Fellow travellers had a twin room which was... more

It is plain that the owners are trying very hard to upgrade this hotel but that didn't make up for the disappointment we felt after our stay there. Somebody mentioned that the food was like school dinners and I have to agree. The breakfast was lukewarm, the eggs tasteless and you could have soled your shoes with the toast. We... more

2nd Nov.2008 Have just spent 4 days in a warm, friendly hotel, where all the staff were very polite and helpful. Our room (53) was large comfortable, and had the most lovely views. We will hopefully return soon. Laudie. Warwickshire more

On booking a midweek break for my parents to celebrate their Ruby Wedding I was disappointed to learn that the girl who took my reservation and card details and gave me a room number had in fact not booked me in at all. But her colleague told me that this was quite a common procedure for her as she has... more

I have just spent a wonderful weekend at the Esplanade Hotel. Around 80 people attended my father`s 70 th birthday party. The hotel staff were extremely friendly, warm and went out of their way to be helpful, particularly the hotel manager who always made herself available. The hotel is a 2 star hotel, personally I would rate it at least... more

Well, where should I start on commenting on this hotel? The fact that the food was of a poor standard, there were no veggie options and it was as homemade as a microwave dinner? Or the room having poor facilities such as no hairdryer, a broken kettle and no biscuits to compliment the tea tray? Or the staff? Hoovering the... more
