The Argyll Hotel is often chosen for its convenient location, particularly its walking distance to the passenger ferry terminal and bus stops, making it easy to explore Dunoon. Many guests enjoyed comfortable bar area and satisfying bar meals, with some noting the steak pie and fish and chips as delicious and reasonably priced. Some rooms offer pleasant sea views, though a few guests have found the views less impressive, overlooking houses. Spacious rooms with modern bathrooms, sometimes featuring lovely toiletries, seem to be a highlight for many.

Acceptable Stay

close location super clean room reasonable price small room missing desk tea issue
The location offered proximity to the ferry terminal. The room was super clean and seemed recently refurbished. The evening meal included good portions at a reasonable price.
My room was very small. It had no desk. It only had a coffee table. The coffee and tea were not replenished , so I had no milk.

Good Coastal Stay

varied meals easy access friendly staff local shops
The hotel offered three distinct dining experiences, standard pub fare, Indian cuisine, and Italian specialties. A lift accessed the first floor which greatly eased transport of heavy luggage. The staff greeted me warmly and efficiently at reception. I found good independent shops and cafes nearby. These added great local color.
I noticed very slight wear on some carpets, although the room was perfectly clean and cute.
