Firth of Clyde, Scotland hotel rooms at the Independent

"My wife and I had a decent stay at the Royal Marine, though it was a bit of a mixed bag. The building looks magnificent, and although a little tired, has fantastic potential with some TLC. Our room was spotless, and we enjoyed paying extra for the sea view; watching the ferry terminal activity was actually quite relaxing. However, the hotel is feeling a little run-down and in need of some modernising. We also found the breakfast disappointing, which let the experience down. Whilst we enjoyed our visit to Dunoon, I doubt we'll be rushing back anytime soon."

"The bedroom was okay, while the en suite bathroom was very nice. However, the bar/restaurant being closed on two of the three nights there was a disappointment."

"Everything was great location as well be back again"

"Reception, lu”lounge and bar area give an impression of a quality hotel. Unfortunately the bedrooms and food do not match up. Some serious money needs spending on the rooms and the catering for functions needs a good look at too. We left very disappointed "

"The hotel was perfectly situated for catching the ferry in the morning. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good, both in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast."

"The room was dated, pillows awful and bed was not comfortable. I doubt I would stay again as the price did not reflect in the room standard. We attended a Wedding which was faultless, staff were fantastic and food excellent, shame about the room. "

"Friendly staff, efficient welcoming service and convenient location. Good value for money."

"Great value for money"

"I was by myself, the staff were all very attentive and helpful. The hotel was warm comfortable and clean. The food was well presented and delicious."
