Stayed with grandchildren in a great room. Staff extremely knowledgeable and accomodating. I did not like the breakfast dining experience. No back ground music the food was not great and you coukd hear a pin drop. No one talking at tables it felt awkward. Otherwise a great stay. I will stay again it was very pricey but location is why

I will start positive: the team at the hotel could not have been more friendly and helpful. They tried to help me every way possible and helped me change rooms when the first was not suitable. I was travelling alone with a 4 month baby and I appreciate every effort that was made. Thank you so much team argyle.
Please be aware the hotel does not have cots as advertised but once moved to a family room I was able to improvise with the spare bed. Again thank you to the team for moving me so quickly and helping.
The less positive: the hotel is old and desperate for modernisation and general improvement. The shower was a dribble and holder was broken so grateful a bath was still an option. Beds are not comfortable (at least mine was not). The towel rail worked which was a plus.
Options are limited in Dunoon and if it wasn’t for the brilliant team I would rate poor.

Old-fashioned hotel in the centre of town
The hotel is conveniently located for the ferry terminal, shops and restaurants. The staff at reception, in the restaurant and the bar were all helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful although the quality of cooked food was average. The food in the Rio restaurant was fine but the service was extremely slow - also there was no red Italian wine on the menu at a restaurant that describes itself as Italian (??). Our room was clean (apart from some mould in the shower) and over-furnished with slightly rickety furniture - the bed was not very comfortable, with very noisy mattress springs. Overall we had a pretty good stay.

We had a twin room with a view of the sea and it was clean enough. There was black mould on the window frame. However the TV had no signal and although there was a telephone there was nothing to plug it into. We complained and they moved us to a lovely family room. No sea view but the staff were very helpful and kind

Perfect location. This hotel has the potential to be perfect but sadly it’s not. Old, dated and not very clean.
Room was huge but didn’t feel or look clean. Shower had empty bottle from previous resident left in the corner. Shower didn’t drain very well leaving you feeling like you may flood the bathroom.
Check in was easy and the staff nice.
