5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Historic hotel with great sea and mountain views. Excellent location for the ferry, for exploring Rothesay, or for venturing around the island - Mount Stuart, for instance, is only a short drive away. Easy on-street parking nearby. Very comfortable and stylish room. Good food at breakfast and at dinner in the downstairs bistro. Friendly, helpful staff.

I have stayed at the hotel several times now while working on the island and it has been a really good experience each time. The rooms are spotless, the food good and the staff extremely helpful; always offering a cheerful smile and a friendly chat. Nothing was too much trouble. Only downside is that during the winter, the rooms were... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my four night stay in this hotel which I could not fault in anyway. The staff were courteous, very hard working and helpful. My bedroom was comfortable with the wee extra touches welcoming and appreciated. The food was excellent both in the upstairs restaurant and the ground floor bistro.

The meal in the restaurant upstairs is delicious and the desserts to die for! For light meals or coffee and cake visit the bistro downstairs, where you can relax and enjoy nice music. The location of the hotel is very convenient and some rooms offer beautiful view. Beds are comfortable and you also get complimentary water and fruit bowl at... More

After an extensive tour of the islands, Victoria hotel was very disappointing. We found the tariff very high for such an average hotel. The only redeeming feature was the view. The walls in our room were paper-thin and the noise from other guests was not welcome. The Bathroom was very cramped, and beds with blankets and sheets not acceptable. The... More

This was our first trip to the Isle of Bute although I have been coming to Scotland for over 50 years. We had a few days to spare (sans enfants!) and it is not too far beyond the border plus a short hop over the firth. The snowy weather (end of March 2013) threatened to upset our plans but we... More

Thanks for your review. Unfortunately the cold spell lasted longer than we would have liked. Rooms awaiting arrival should have the heating on and if not, it is a mistake on our part. Your stay is important to us and we do encourage all guests to advise us at the time when something is wrong. I am not sure what... More

We were not informed at time of booking that there were no lift facilities....we did book for 2 adults and a baby. We were put on the top floor. The staff in the upstairs restaurant were mostly polite and attentive, however when using the bistro restaurant downstairs the service was very poor...I suspect down to lack of attention to detail...

The rooms was comfortable and quiet and staff reasonably friendly although the breakfast staff seriously needs training, because they have absolutely no concept of hospitality. The WiFi is virtually unusable.

On most occasions we rarely know who has written a review. This one stands out a little as we do not often get complaints about WiFi albeit when we do if it is not an external problem, re booting usually sorts it out. If you are the gentleman that was conducting a training course with multiple lap tops, I understand... More
