The room was tiny! The bed was soft & sloping & we both awoke several times in the night due to its discomfort. The view was of some abandoned buildings at the back of the hotel. The food was mediocre.
Tiny room!

The tiny bedroom was a joke. three quarter bed in a single bedroom is not fit as a double. No wardrobe, no mirror and no room to move around or get changed. Advertised as breakfast included but failed to say it was only continental. Feel robbed Never again

Disliked: Room comfort
We were lucky to visit Scotland when we were having lovely weather about 20 degrees. However our room was on the top floor which meant it was very hot. The window wouldn't open very wide due to the design and the curtains. There was a fan in the room but it was just blowing the hot air around. It would have been nice if the room was attempted to have been cooled prior to our arrival. We were also next to the laundry room and the washing machines were spinning at gone 22:30 at night making everything in the room shake. Appreciate this may be a one off occurrence but it did severely impact our stay especially as we were struggling to sleep in the heat anyway. I let the hotel know in the mornight, but didn't feel they were apologetic and just said it's unusual weather. If visiting in summer months it's worth bearing in mind.

I was in Helensburgh to attend my cousin's funeral. The hotel could not have been better. I only ate breakfast twice and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel is centrally located and it was easy to get to anywhere I needed to be. All in all, a very good experience and I will recommend the hotel to my friends who might be visiting Scotland.

This hotel is well situated on the main road going through Helensburgh. There are a number of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, and the hotel also has a restaurant. Parking is free, in the large leisure centre car park across the road. The only negative for me was the hotel does not offer a cooked breakfast, which is surprising as it has a restaurant built into it. The continental breakfast appeared to be your average hotel continental breakfast. Staff were friendly.
