Positive Reviews
positive:
Beautiful surroundings
Guests appreciate the surroundings of the Argyll, often commenting on the views of the Loch and the distant mountains. While the hotel itself is not always so quiet, the surroundings certainly seem like the kind of setting where you can enjoy some time out.
positive:
Plenty of entertainment
For people who like there to be plenty to do at a hotel, this one shouldn't disappoint. Reviews suggest there is something going on most nights, including a popular open mic event and live music nights.
positive:
Comfortable rooms
Rooms at this hotel don't entirely escape criticism but most guests find they are reasonably clean and comfortable regardless of any minor shortcomings. Guests comment that the rooms were equipped with all the basic comforts and conveniences you expect while travelling.
Negative Reviews
negative:
More like a pub with rooms
A number of guests mention that the Argyll felt less like a hotel and more like a pub with rooms. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this, it won't suit everybody and certainly has the potential to become a little tedious over a longer stay.
negative:
Noisy at times
With such a busy calendar of events, the fact that guests mention noise shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Plus, beside the loud music and sound of people attending these events, guests regularly report that the internal doors bang shut.
negative:
Expensive dining
Guests occasionally mention that although they found the rooms were reasonably priced, the cost of dining is quite high. Even something as simple as a bowl of soup attracts a fairly high charge. Perhaps, this is because you're not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to area dining options.
