Let’s start with what we liked. The Indian meal was tasty. The waiters were pleasant and attentive. The bedlinen was clean. Now for the dislikes. Besides the dining areas the hotel is very shabby. We were in room 327 which appeared to be even more so with wallpaper coming off the walls, damp patches, cracked tiles and overall very, very tired. Very few people appeared to be staying but all of us were put on the top floor. One would think the management might think to put the few guests they are having into the best rooms available. The hotel is very expensive for what it provides. Take my advice and stay elsewhere.

The hotel is run down, the stairway smells terrible. The decor throughout is in poor condition. The room was dirty, walls full of marks, mould in the bathroom. The carpet was very worn and smells. The plug sockets near the bed worked one minute then not the next. Water in the room not replaced after day 1. Only ate breakfast and it was just ok but was obvioulsy all pre cooked and reheated ( sometimes anyway as the beans were cold one day ) All in all a poor hotel that seems to have no interest in trying anymore. They have clearly given up and it shows. Wouldn’t recommend or return

Not much to expect for £50 a night, but its a tired place. Service in the Bar and Restaurant was poor and the food was basic. The ensuite room in 123 left much to the imagination how you fit in, and the shower could do with some attention.

Showing Its Age
Staff are trying hard, but the place is in need of an intense makeover. The hallway on the first floor is caving in, the lift may or may not be a hazard and water leaked badly in 2/3 bathrooms which led us to believe there might be mold. We booked for the Cowal games but the mob of teenagers on the steps was disconcerting and the carnival and partying kept us up until the wee hours. The fire alarm going off at 7 in the morning (maybe due to hairspray being sprayed) was the icing on the cake.

A bit disappointing stay0
Staff were, in general terms, very good. 3 night stay, bed not made up, carpets not hoovered, had to ask for water, tea coffee to be replaced, biscuits not replaced. Floor tiles in bathroom cracked, chips in bath and shower hose broken at shower head. Overall mark would have been lower were it not for the staff who in general were very good. Food was good, as were bar prices.

Dated but good location
Quite a dated hotel but right on the main street so great location. Showers are terrible, not great having a cold shower in the morning. Also woke up by the fire alarm at 8am as someone was using deodorant in their room. Surely the smoke detectors should tell the difference.

Argyll Hotel Stay
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location in Dunoon is central, unfortunately the hotel is showing signs of its age and needs some investment. Had breakfast once but not a wow so didn't bother the next morning. The room also wasn't as clean as I would of expected. The Pub across the road was noisy but that's to be expected.
