The staff are very friendly. Check in/out process was super easy! My only complaint is that there was mold on the ceiling in the living area and in the bathroom above the shower. Room just seems to need a deep clean and a little maintenance.

What a pleasant surprise to walk into our room, the room was lovely decorated and felt welcoming. The cleanliness of the both the bathroom and bedroom was of a high standard, lovely clean carpets and furniture. The bed and pillows were really comfortable.
The atmosphere in the bar was really nice and the bar staff attentive and friendly.
Also it was great to be able to park my car right outside the hotel, very convenient.
The hotel was quiet throughout the night which added to a peaceful night.
Over all a very pleasant stay and I would have no doubts about staying at the Tontine hotel again.

Very clean room well serviced. Extremely comfortable bed and well heated rooms in December. We had a suite which was ideal for our short stay..
We were less happy with the many stairs, to get there although to be fair it was mentioned clearly in guest information. The old building is a real Greenock icon, but suffered from a leaking roof resulting in drips albeit during a storm with torrential rain. Had a nice meal in the restaurant on the first evening.
Very happy to returnnnext year though.
