We stayed from Friday 28Th to Sunday 30Th Oct 11 and we had a fantastic time, the food was first class, the staff were excellent and the entertainment was brilliant, the only downside was the bedrooms were just a bit tired looking but they were very clean, we will definitely visit again and looking forward to it already.

me & hubby stayed here september weekend. its a wonderful building, truley impressive. we stayed in tiree room and would go back in a minuite for the view alone....outstanding. hotel is a little tired but the staff, management , food and service make the tiredness fade away. i am such a fusspot when it comes to food and can only sing the praises of the chef..well done to all the staff for a lovely break, we hope to be back soon.

We'd stayed here in 1998 on a classic car tour of Scotland & as we were doing the same again decided on a repeat visit on the way south. Previous reviews are pretty accurate; the Royal Marine is an impressive building & right opposite the Dunoon ferry which is handy. It does need money spending on it, but as another reviewer points out, such a building would cost thousands to renovate.
We think it has a lot of character & had a room with sea view which was nice. The bathroom, however was in poor condition & really needed an update. Unfortunately so was our mattress as upon lying on the bed it was apparent that my feet were higher than my head! We had to sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed to solve that one!
Good wi - fi connection & breakfast the following morning was of a good standard. We payed £75 B&B for the room which was reasonable - I wouldn't think the full rate represents good value.
If you prefer individual hotels rather than chains the RM is OK for a short stay - but check the mattress first!

As a weary lone female traveller I called at the hotel to ask if I could dine at the hotel as a non resident. The restaurant manager was immediately kind and helpful. At his suggestion I opted for the hotel's cosier bistro bar. The food was excellent as was the service. I was made to feel relaxed and comfortable. A very good experience. Thank you.
