Argyll Hotel

The staff were all friendly and helpful, particularly John on the front desk. He was really informative about the area. The room was comfortable, although the mattress springs were not the best. The evening meal was fantastic. If you're a couple, I suggest ordering the mushrooms and pakora, as starters, and splitting them. The breakfast was nice. We will be back.

Very friendly staff the hotel is dated and needs updating but after saying that it is a old building and is tight in the centre of town

The gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant and personable. He made check in and out excellent.

Great weekend stay as usual, always our go to hotel when in Dunoon, staff very friendly & attentive, restaurant food quality & service great as usual. Will be back again soon

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.

Great value for money. Didn't dislike anything.

Hotel is very dated and badly needs some money spent on it No on site parking is an issue Breakfast was excellent

We were part of a Shearings Coach party at the Argyle from 23 to 27 December. This hotel appears to be run on a very low budget! The Christmas decorations looked very old and tired. The one bar was poorly stocked with appropriate glasses to serve whiskey or any drinks other than wine, beer or cordial. There was a lift available but it was slow, noisy and unfortunately had to use it because of mobility issues but when used, was glad to get out safely. (do the hotel have it serviced and certificates available?) The main issue for our 1 star review was the food. The food was no way delivered by a professional Chef of hotel quality, even 3 Star. Breakfasts were ok but the plates for hot food were cold, hence breakfast choice went cold very quickly. Fried eggs swimming in oil, overcooked scrambled eggs. Dinners were average, nothing special but Christmas dinner was terrible. On Christmas Day - Breakfast was 8.00am and 'Traditional' Christmas dinner was 3.30pm so we were hungry. Picture plate - mashed potato in the middle, sliced turkey on top, 2 roast potatoes, 2 pigs in blanket, sausage ball, and frozen sprouts on top, gravy, no other veg. The starters/deserts all appeared shop bought. Spoiled our Christmas totally as was not 'traditional, or of good quality'. The Hotel had other guests in their Rio restaurant for Christmas dinner, we assume they were given a different dinner to us or they would not have paid and walked out if given the same meal as we received. We had no option. Positive notes - the room was good for a standard double, (not a suite as named). Bed was comfortable, facilities good, room clean. The few staff working were overworked as not enough staff to cater for the number of people in the hotel. Albeit they were polite and worked hard.

The over all condition of the hotel room needs up grading. Bathroom window held closed with a bottle. Tv with no tv remote.
