Very comfortable beds and relaxed seating in the lounge. The breakfasts were extensive, plentiful and well presented and as things were being used the staff were constantly replenishing. A lovely stay to be recommended.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Incredible Victorian grandeur, stunning views, and as an historic building lovely...but is in need of TLC, modernisation and updating. Staff were friendly, great base to explore the rest of the island.

The Glenburn Hotel has outstanding views from the hotel restaurant / lobby area, so I enjoyed it as much as I could since my room looked on to the roof, blocking the view. A little misguided from the outstanding photos on Expedia. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming and I really enjoyed my walks in the lovely area of Rothesay. This coastal town allows you to feel disconnected, without having to be too far from the mainland. I would definitely suggest taking a taxi from the ferry if you have any mobility issues or large pieces of luggage. The hotel is on top of a hill, so could be a challenging climb

Its a great place and some staff are wonderful but for the second time I was accused wrongly of owing them money on departure (it was paid in advance) by a very agressive and extremely rude and uncooperative mature woman, causing offence and embarrassment in front of other guests.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was great and the view from room 342 was lovely. Breakfast was superb with a large choice suitable for all tastes. Overall the hotel was lovely but in areas it did look a little tired. We would definitely stay again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
