Royal Marine Hotel

Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old building and the current owners have taken the time to do it up where listed building limitations allow .. it has character and whilst there was issues with booking system which appeared to have caused issues during check in for other guests, our booking was ok. The staff from front of house to house keeping are absolute gems ! So friendly and chatty could not do enough for you making your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! Very handy location and beautiful walk into town. Dunoon is a lovely place for a short break with lots of bars and restuarants to choose from at reasonable prices. Thank you to all the staff you made our trip 😊"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely, relaxing couple’s break at The George in Inveraray. It’s a great historic hotel with plenty of character and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. ​Our room was comfortable, full of quirky charm, and having the freestanding bath right in the bedroom was a brilliant touch that made the stay feel that extra bit special. The food throughout our stay was really good, with plenty of tasty local options and a solid selection of drinks at the bar. ​The staff were friendly and attentive from start to finish, and the location is ideal for strolling around the town or down along the loch. Overall, it was a great, hassle-free getaway—we’d happily recommend it and stay again."

"Been upgraded since our last stay. New bathrooms fitted out, fresh bedroom carpet. Always spotlessly clean anyway. Breakfast great and barman on in the evening was very pleasant and helpfully, see you next year. If you are not eating in the hotel in the evening, highly recommend The Waterfront restaurant."

8/10 Good
"Great location and lovely rooms. The bed was super comfy and we had a great sleep. Though hotel was very busy it was also very quiet. The hotel is also very pet welcoming. Only food available in the evening was in the bar and to be honest the menu is not appropriate for a large hotel with only 4 starters ( of which one was unavailable) and six main courses - 4 of which came with boiled rice. This really needs improvement. The waitress ( there was only one) was lovely, very busy but also very courteous , attentive and friendly. Breakfast was continental but lots to chose from and good, fresh produce. Would absolutely stay again but unless menu changes would eat in nearby Helensburgh."
