I did not realise that this was a hotel that took coaches therefore it was very crowded, dinner was set and a lacarte not available. Breakfast finished at 08.30, so I missed out I thought it was 09.30.

Stay on Loch Long

Hotel was in a great location, with great views over Loch Long. The staff were also really friendly. The hotel needed some upgrading though. The bathroom was very outdated, it took a long time for us to get any hot water, and the shower was cramped (I’m tall and slim and it was cramped for me). There was also evident damp on the wall in the bedroom.

The property is in a beautiful position next to the Loch Long with a magnificent view of the hills. Could be more outside seating. Entrance hall to room was horrible, and strong smell of smoke.The bedroom was above the kitchen. There was a continuous noise and smell. The bathroom was not clean and no water pressure in shower.

Manky. Rotten. Avoid.

Absolutely stinking of damp. Not only that but all my clothes and belongings have come home smelling of the damp from the room and I’ve had to throw a way a suitcase as a result.

Disgusting rooms and smells of damp!

The rooms are in a very poor condition and are not kept clean. The first room I was allocated had extremely old decor and smelt of sewage and damp, I believe there was something wrong with the toilet and bath. I was given a second room, the bathroom wasn't much better, didn't smell as bad but still smelt of damp. This was as the bathroom was covered in dirt and mold, I didn't let the hotel know about this as they made me feel bad reporting that the first room was poor quality. So I went to the local shop and purchased some cleaning items and cleaned the whole bathroom. After cleaning the bathroom room I laid on the bed to watch a little tv, picking up the remote I found that it was covered in dirt and what looked like food, so again it was cleaned. When booking this hotel the rooms are advertised as if they are brand new, please note that this is note the case and after speaking to a lovely lady that worked there i was informed that only one of there room have been upgraded!! This place should be cleaner especially with Covid just passing, I feel for all the people that stayed here fir bus trips as it is below par. Even when walking the corridors and going into the stair area you can smell a really heavy smell of damp. I'm surprised people don't fall ill from it! Sorry for this review but the management need to get this hotel sorted!!

The staff was professional and polite but a bit overwhelmed. We were on the 5th floor. I wish we had access to an elevator. In the morning for breakfast there were a lot of tables not cleared and no direction from staff that was coming in and out it. The buffet was mostly empty and no plates. It wasn't until we sat at a dirty table that staff recognized our need and directed us to a completely different area that had more tables that were clean and ready and a buffet that had more food available.

Esperienza da incubo: moquette sporca e consunta, porte e finestre malmesse, pavimento sconnesso e ovunque odore nauseabondo. Se non siamo scappati è stato solo per via delle lenzuola accettabili e perché la struttura in grado di ospitarci era ad un’ora di auto (avevamo fatto trekking la mattina e poi guidato per quasi 300 miglia). Le tre stelle -semmai ci siano mai state- risalgono a venti anni fa, quando avrebbero dovuto chiudere per ristrutturazione. Indecente!

Overall a nice stay...the only thing that let this hotel down was the food.16 pounds for 4 unheated halumi fries with a bit of salad and a vegetable tart with 4 undercooked potatoes.Would return but eat elsewhere.

Senior Citizens Coach Hotel

Hotel was geared for coach parties of senior citizens. The rooms and the public areas felt tired. The breakfast was like a canteen with limited choice and poor quality food.. The side of the bath fell off when I opened the bedroom window which suggested some dodgy bathroom plumming. for the money (£120 a night) i would have expected a bit better but Scotland's hotels are now so eye wateringly expensive I guess this is the norm.
