Check in gave us a room which was inconvenient (3 flights of stairs), and Very Small. Another desk clerk later corrected that and gave us a more suitalbe room. Staff was great, facilities are old, with the exception of the bathrooms.

I was in Helensburgh to attend my cousin's funeral. The hotel could not have been better. I only ate breakfast twice and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel is centrally located and it was easy to get to anywhere I needed to be. All in all, a very good experience and I will recommend the hotel to my friends who might be visiting Scotland.

This hotel is well situated on the main road going through Helensburgh. There are a number of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, and the hotel also has a restaurant. Parking is free, in the large leisure centre car park across the road. The only negative for me was the hotel does not offer a cooked breakfast, which is surprising as it has a restaurant built into it. The continental breakfast appeared to be your average hotel continental breakfast. Staff were friendly.

Over priced

The room was nice .wasnt happy about the see through bathroom door.There wasn’t any privacy.The down stairs bar area where we ate our food was needing a freshen up.The food was not great and the breakfast was pretty poor.For the price we paid for the accommodation I think it was over priced.

Nice hotel in a convenient location to visit Helensburgh. Tasty continental breakfast served though there was only white bread. Lots of creaking flooring meant regularly woken up. Had a coffee machine but no instructions. I had to clamber under a table to plug it in. The mattress was very soft, too soft for me but that's personal choice. The reception was rarely manned.

Nice hotel, well decorated only negative is when we checked in we were told Sunday breakfast is between 8-10. We went to breakfast at 9:30 where there was not much left and advised breakfast finishes at 9:30. Although we got fresh tea and a couple of fresh pastries. We did feel a little bit of an annoyance at the start. However worth the stay.
