Alright

Paid extra for a room with a sea view only for the view to be blocked by scaffolding which is ridiculous. Room could have been cleaner, particularly the floor could be doing with a hoover and a scrub.

Fantastic location, sea view rooms were amazing and really made the stay worth it, we had a large clean room all staff were friendly and considering the price can’t fault anything. We were room only and didn’t try the food at the hotel - this was due to the feedback from locals in the island stating the food was really hit and miss. The smell of the food seemed to linger throughout the lobby/ reception and restaurant and didn’t smell great - think canteen/ hospital food. Would recommend to anyone staying in Bute

Great place to stay.

Rothesay was a revelation. We were put off by the ferry access on our upward journey but shouldn't have been. The hotel has wonderful views and is situated within easy walking distance along a promenade of interesting victorian hotels/apartments to a vibrant town centre. we were very lucky with the weather and loved everything about the hotel and the town.

Beautiful old building in the heart of Rothesay

Beautiful building (must be a nightmare to maintain) but a bit shabby in some areas. Unsurprising but need to be honest in the review. Staff were brilliant and had a great stay, would recommend.

Enjoyed our stay. Surprised there was no porridge or pastries ( croissants ) for breakfast but plenty of choice and everything was piping hot. A wee bit of entertainment at night would have been nice, but overall a great few days here. Would definitely recommend The Glenburn Hotel.
