"Excellent value with all you need with parking onsite, communal kitchen and free Wi Fi. Ideally located close to Greenock town centre and the train station for direct trains to Glasgow. Bit rough and ready around the edges but hard to fault unless you're expecting top end luxury. John was very helpful too."

The Harbour Hotel

The Harbour Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a pleasant stay at the Harbour Hotel. The room was a good size, clean and had plenty of power sockets, which was very convenient. The shower was excellent, with strong water pressure. The bathroom, however, felt quite dated. The sink was very small, making it difficult to fill the kettle directly from the tap, and there was no side lamp in the room. We also found that water came out of the shower tray despite the shower having an enclosure. Breakfast was good, with a good selection of gluten-free options available, which was much appreciated. Overall, a comfortable stay, although the bathroom could benefit from some updating and a few practical improvements."
