Esplanade Hotel  

lovely hotel and clean and well kept gardens to the front, easy access to promenade along front, staff very helpfull and friendly, food very good, nice veiws, a short drive from glasgow and 20 min ferry ride gets you there, if you are looking for beautiful scenic drives,walking or island hopping then dunoon will do you well

parking area at rear bit untidy so did not get good first impression on arrival so was nicely suprised once in hotel, the little town of dunoon was not great could do with a lick of paint very driech as they say in scotland

Room was lovely and clean and facilities were good--plenty of hot water and good flush on toilet. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Cooked breakfast was served with everything on the plate ---whether you wanted beans or not!!!

Location. Nice easy walk into town.

Needed upgraded. Breakfast poor. Entertainment lounge quite untidy, with chairs shoved in corners. Definitely not welcoming.

I stayed at this Hotel with my teenage n forso my daughters wedding. It was a fine basic good value for money. When I first arrived there in the car we thought it didnt look very nice but once inside it was fine and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a very wet and windy weekend when we stayed so only had a quick walk to the beach.

It had a fishermans convention on the weekend we stayed and was full of older people.

Location overlooking the sea and nice staff

was vere frandly

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We would like to stay longer another time

Friendly staff. Nice views although we didn't have a sea view room

Small room, bed and toilet

Location

Stained coverlets on beds; poor quality and choice of breakfast.

Very friendly

Parking very poor

the views and the peacefull surrounds and the friendly people.

Excellent staff, helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and we had a great sea view. The food was well presented and enjoyable.Altogether a pleasurable stay!

No complaints!

I liked and appreciated the friendly, helpful attitude of all the staff. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Although the hotel is a little dated and probably in need of some refurbishment, it is nonetheless clean, warm and comfortable. Its location on the seafront is also very good indeed.

Can't think of anything.

room and bar and helpful staff

A lack of entertainment considering the hotel was fairly full.

Convenient sea front location near to the town centre. Refurbished room.

A couple of socks and other items left under bed by previous occupant.

our stay at the esplande hotel was very pleasant the staff were really friendly and polite had breakfast which was lovely didnt try evening meal but was hearing from other guests it was lovely .

Staff very friendly

The location was perfect for the Cowal Games!

Bit pricey

Staff very helpful and friendly. Renovated rooms very smart and comfortable. Good breakfast.

Seats in lounge in need of overhaul. Dinner menu should be displayed at breakfast time. Car parking restricted (work underway ?).

We were in Dunoon for the Cowal Games and the hotel was easily accessible.

I felt that the housekeeping should be checked on by the proprietors, i.e., chairs in our room were very dirty, badly stained and covered in dust.

Friendly start at Reception, given room and find a pleasant well fitted out room with all the attachments that you expect. Bedding was well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was served with good manners from a good menu. All in all a good pleasant stay.

As I was a single traveller I appreciated the fact that the hotel had entertainment in the evening.

I thought Hotel was over-priced. Cabaret act on Wednesday evening - at one point during the act he lifted his kilt to display his "bare bottom" - I felt this was inappropriate bearing in mind the age group of the audience were in their 70s.

rooms very modern clean and tidy.nice location and breakfast apt. staff service polite and courteous.

I liked the sea view that we had from our room and the lovely garden at the front looking on to the sea and promenade. The breakfast was good and included in the price. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a good base to explore other parts of the Cowal Peninsula.

The one lift was rather narrow and dated and in an area beside a storage cupboard. Although the en-suite room was clean there was a draft from the right hand of the window. There was a convector heater in the room which we had to use once when it was quite windy, as well as central heating radiators. The second floor where we had our room is in need of brightening up and perhaps new carpets. The age of residents was about 65 to 80 and the entertainment provided may have suited this age range. I would recommend it for this age group.

It was a good quality Hotel, I found the staff careing and excellent at their jobs, The breakfast was wonderful. fresh and tasty. Entertainment every night I stayed was good and friendly. The Highland Scottish Dancers were fantastic.
