4/7 found this review helpful

We haven't stayed, but had a bar lunch here during a recent day trip to Dunoon. A board outside was offering daily specials at reasonable rates, so since Dunoon isn't over-blessed with decent eating places, we decided to try it. The Lounge Bar looks like it hasn't been
decorated for years, pre-smoking ban anyway, and the upholstery on the seats had seen better days. The waitress was so uninterested, you could see she wished she was somewhere
else.

When the fish we ordered arrived, it was obviously the oven stuff you get in the local Tescos, and it came with a pretty sad looking salad. Nothing basically wrong with it, only not what you expect in an hotel. The crunch really came when we got the bill. They had charged us the a la carte prices, explaining we had ordered from the menu and hadn't asked for the specials. I had a less than friendly word with the manager, telling him I was reporting the hotel to
Trading Standards.

This place has everything that is wrong with Scottish tourism. The Hotel is situated in the prime site in Dunoon, right across from the pier, with an absolutely stunning view of the river. Unfortunately, they won't invest money in their product, and treat their customers with a complacency, that goes well beyond contempt. Do yourself a favour the next time you're in Dunoon and walk right past this dump.

4/4 found this review helpful

On arrival, the hotel looked good and our room was in the base of the tower so some nice views. Unfortunately we found the windows jammed, one shut the other open and the curtains did not fit which was a problem when the floodlight went on outside and kept the room permanently illuminated at night. The bathroom was shabby with a very temperamental hot water supply. We were in a party of 40+ and I heard one guest trying to change rooms as he only had a skylight window and he was told nothing could be done. The occupant of Room 26 also said that his windows were sealed shut. Generally speaking our meals were adequate but hardly imaginative with waiting staff clearly rushed off their feet, also some odd combinations eg fish and chips and sprouts. As we had been moved from the Esplanade before arrival we had a look at that hotel and it seemed a far better location. We were not impressed with the local youths playing football and shouting all evening followed by the drunks at chuck out time (c2am) followed by the seagulls clearing up the mess and then the street cleaner at 6.30am. We did not have one good nights sleep in a week and would never go back. Management did not seem too interested in the various compaints.

“Excellent Hotel”

2/3 found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I stayed at The Argyll Hotel in Dunoon last weekend and it was fantastic. We booked through a company called easybreaks and it was great value for the price we paid. We had room number 16 which was very comfortable and had great views.

The food is just wonderful, non of this fancy stuff i get in other hotels which is tasteless, but the menu is very simple with a lot of home cooked dishes on it and a fair range of curries. The food was great every night. I got to say the staff are really kind and made us feel welcome all the time, always smiling and always make you laugh.

I will definatley go back!!!

I stayed at this hotel a couple of times before and returned last weekend for a break. I must say the refurbishment all the staff were going on about the last time i was there has definately added great comfort and character to the hotel. The staff are always very helpful and friendly and the food is better than ever, try their steak pie, it is fantastic. I booked my break directly with the hotel and they offered me the three nights for 99GBP thats for three nights diner, bed and breakfast, i know excellent value. I would recommend this place to anybody looking to get away and relax for a couple of days.

P.S. They have a fantastic Tapas Bar called Rio you need to definately try the seared king prawns.

My girlfiiend and i visited Dunoon las weekend and without plan decided to stay for a couple of nights at The Argyll Hotel after having a great lunch. I really got to say the staff in the hotel made us feel special and welcome. The room was okay not high standard but everything you need for £70, but the views were priceless without a doubt. One evening we ate in the Italian restaurant and the food was fabulous in all.

I will recomend this place to anybody that is thinking of visiting Dunoon, the hotel is very central for everything, the food is great value for money and tastes great and the people are just very friendly.
