I've just spent four days at this hotel and found the service and food to be of excellent quality. The food portions were plentiful and always served at the right temperature and by a friendly and cheerful staff. The hotel itself is in sore need of a (very costly) revamp, but was still clean and warm, with a welcoming atmosphere.... More

Had a lovely quiet meal in Ghillies bar. Food was ok, very fast. The outside looks spectacular and is extremely close to the ferry but the inside needs a lot of work doing to it and quality of food has dropped. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially a waitress called Helena. Definitely look to be served by her, she... More

Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Spacious room, but rather chilly and draughty on a wet and wild night. Hotel does need a revamp, but you get the impression that the staff are really doing their best coping with a rambling (and no doubt, costly) building. Sad, bet it was a really imposing and impressive place 'in its day'. Keep up... More

We have eaten here many times in the north wing of the Royal Marine Hotel and it has dropped in quality and value for money recently. The bar menu has not changed in about 20 years except for about 5 years ago when they took some items off, but that you can live with. However the portion sizes have shrunk... More

Very handy for the ferry and looking impressive from the outside we ate in Ghillies bar, unfortunately it had the feel of being an add on to the hotel for travelling salesmen to eat, the staff where friendly but we had to ask them to replace our cutlery as it had the remains of the last meal on them.

I was booked into the hotel for a business trip and it was certainly convenient for the ferry. I was wowed by the exterior of the stunning building but sad to see it so tired up close. The exterior and internal decor is in dire need of refurbishment. The hotel is clean but past its best. The room I had... More

Building was a bit run down but the single room I had was more than reasonable for the price. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. Bar food was adequate but the breakfast was brilliant made more so by the very accommodating chef who cheerfully made it for me at 7am. Very very few hotels would have done that.... More

The hotel is just off the car ferry, and from the outside the hotel looks amazing. Inside it needs a bit TLC, but that seems to add to its character. Beige and corporate it is not. Staff were efficient and friendly, breakfast was great. I had loch fyne kippers and they were excellent. Eggs are to be recommended too. we... More
