This hotel must have been a lovely lady in her heyday. The location is superb,the rooms are large, but very dated. People with mobility issues would have difficulty staying here.

Bedroom was spacious and super king bed.Breakfast was really well cooked and staff were excellent. Too many very difficult stairs with no lift. 5 nights and no cleaning done in the bedroom or bathroom,which I would have to ask to have it done.Ended cleaning it myself. Felt it was not value for money at £100,per night room only. Sorry can’t recommend.

Good value if you are fit and healthy!
Lots of stairs and no lift - which wouldn't have been a problem 20 years ago, but anyone like me with impaired mobility should be warned! Room door lock was not secure - could easily be fixed. But amazingly clean, comfortable, and good value in a very convenient location.

Guest welcome was poor, no help offered regarding facilities or things to do. Restaurant clearly understaffed, food was awful. Would recommend for a short stay but advise you eat elsewhere. Otherwise staff were pleasant.

Spotless rooms, comfy bed, I had a good nights sleep, breakfast was lovely. Horrible door locks. We had a truly awful evening meal in Ghillies the restaurant attached to the hotel...eat elsewhere but I would recommend the Victoria!!

A lovely relaxing stay in Rothesay
Really nice visit. The hotel is ideally situated approx 100 metres from the pier at Rothesay and bus stops and directly across from the tourist information centre. The room allocated was on the 3rd floor and was a good size, very comfortable and clean. There was a small TV and tea / coffee making facilities. Breakfast was provided for £10. Although the choice was limited it was satisfactory for me with cereal, full Scottish breakfast, tea / coffee etc. if I was returning to Rothesay / Bute I would definitely consider a return to this hotel. Thank you for a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

Lovely staff who went above and beyond to make our stay great. We really enjoyed our stay and had an incredible dinner at the restaurant looking over the sea. The hotel was very close to the ferry port and near to local shops so we found it very easy to get around and explore. Would recommend.
