Having lived in Rothesay for a few years in the sixties I was familiar with the Glenburn but never stayed there. It is indeed a grand building with great sea views but showing its age in a few areas. It was built in the early 1800s so that's not surprising. Parking can be a bit restrictive as the property was constructed in the days of horse and carriage. Staff were courteous and the lounge area with the bar is very comfortable and spacious. I will definitely stay there again. Very reasonable rates as well.
Large old style hotel with faded glamour which new owners are setting about restoring and improving. Nice restaurant with good food, large bar area in need of rethinking of the seating and with views over the bay. Had a sea view room which was lovely. Heating on full blast in a warm June weekend but large old single glazed windows merited the heating! Nice and relaxing 2 night stay, sufficient time to see island’s highlights and hotel a 10 minute walk to town centre.
The bed was very uncomfortable. The sea view double room only had one chair and only one bedside cabinet. It is quite bizarre that one person doesn't have a place to put their phone, glasses or glass of water. The room was big enough for one.
The shower was over the bath and the bath had a very high side, which made it very difficult to get in and out of.
There was a good selection for breakfast. However, we were told breakfast times were 8:00 - 10:00, which was only true for the weekend and we were late for breakfast on Monday. Thankfully there was food left over otherwise we'd have gone hungry.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food and drink in the bar area were good. The common areas were very roomy and comfortable to hang out in. And no concern with cleanliness. That said, a few things took away from comfort and quality: the WiFi signal was poor, especially in the room; the shower valve was difficult to use; and the shower water temperature was very inconsistent. The interior halls and room areas and fixtures could all use some refurbishment.
Once again a hotel in Scotland that has NO fridge in the room. Come on. Get in the 21st century. Parking was generally atrocious. Tour bus parking in wrong place. Not enough spaces for cars. A few excellent staff members.
