The Aircon didn't work and we had noisy neighbours but the guy on the desk was lovely the property is nice. Location is good. We would stay again but maybe go up from a budget room to a slightly bigger one x

Always a warm welcome, comfy beds, very quiet and peaceful. Staff really go the extra mile. Even brought us plates and cutlery for our takeaway. Lovely old place.

Very friendly staff, room was very nice with a sea view and two big comfortable chairs to sit on looking out to sea watching the car ferry’s coming and going.

Overnight stay

Stayed here for one night. Room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. It is a little dated but it all adds to the character. Would stay here again . 👍Proximity to the ferry was 30 seconds which was great

Weekend break

Great wee weekend in Dunoon stayed in various hotels there but this was a surprise package, looking at the building might give the wrong impression of it. Beautiful old building which maintains a lot of its periodic charm and features but our room was very modern, spacious, clean and comfortable. Dillon and his partner were very welcoming and fully hands on at any request and with pup Willow on hand for cuteness made a great team to relate with even if her teeth are like needles, thats the pup not his partner :-) . Will definetly look for this hotel first the next time we go back to Dunoon.

Room and bathroom lovely,comfortable and clean. Staff also friendly. Only problem ,we had no hot water
Monty, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately the toilet did not flush , no staff available to report too until we checked out in the morning. They did say they would check it however, it was rather inconvenient . There is no bar available in the hotel . Great location - shame about the overall condition and lack of maintenance
Gillian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Whilst we were given an early check in our room was far from clean. Hairs in the sink and toilet. Cobwebs on the walls. Windows were mouldy and looked out onto waste ground. Rooms either side of us through the night were incredibly loud, several calls made to reception but no answer so staff did nothing to resolve this.
Andrew, 1-night trip

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.

It was a nice stay .we had a lovely bedroom with brilliant sea view.staff were all very friendly and helpful .
Linda, 2-night trip

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.
Jon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

Old and with historic value lovely place to stay , wonderful staff.
robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel which has clearly had a lot of work done in recent times. I was greeted warmly by Ricky and checked in to Room 2, which was massive - and simply perfect for my (5 stone) greyhound, as he had space to move. The Royal Marine is one of 2 dog friendly hotels in the area, and as you can see, His Lordship was made ever so welcome and he slept like a log, as did I! I brought his own bed, however my bed was super comfy and cosy. There was a tv, a (clean!) kettle with tea & coffee and large en-suite. The building itself is steeped in history and is architecturally stunning. For the same price you could stay in one of the bland, characterless, pokey guesthouses nearer town.... but why would you? From what I could tell, every room looked different, which was a nice touch. The terrace is a great place to sit and watch the Clyde roll by, and there was ample parking too. The log fire in the bar was both cosy and aesthetically pleasing, and the whole place was super clean. Sadly I was staying due to holding my husbands funeral in Dunoon, but the hotel being bright and cheerful really helped me alot. All the staff were fun and incredibly friendly (it is rare for housekeeping to say good morning these days, but the ladies here were wonderful). Also, a big thumbs-up to Fiona on the bar for making my stay a thoroughly enjoyable one; it really is the staff who make a hotel feel like home. As Arnie would say, Ill be back! Thank you xxx

2 out of 5

It was ok. It was very basic. Beds were comfortable and the hotel is nice and quiet and in a beautiful spot. Service was very poor, we didn’t come across a single member of staff over the 2 days we stayed, including check in and out. We had no hot water during our stay through either tap or shower, but no staff available to help. One of our windows was broken so couldn’t get it open during 30 degree heat. No batteries in the TV remote. I could cope with these issues if room was a cheaper price.
