Yes the hotel is a little dated, but the rooms we had overlooked the loch, were very reasonably priced and the food in the bar was excellent - better than the George. The staff could not do enough and were lovely. We will go back, but based on other reviews will specify a Loch view room. Inverary itself - excellent

Spent 2 nights at the Argyll in mid April on a DB&B deal that included free entry to Inveraray Castle. We will definitely be back. Great Staff, great food and comfortable room with stunning view. But let's have a reality check for some of the previous submissions. This hotel is a listed building in what is probably a conservation area where what improvements and modernisation the management/owners may wish to implement are restricted by law. So there's no lift, double glazing or large windows. What you do get is a Hotel full of character, which is clean and tidy, has friendly, helpful staff and serves great food. It is in a great location not just for local attractions but as a base for areas further afield. Our room was on the second floor (extreme left facing the building, with a great view across the front green to the Loch). It was well appointed and spacious, clean with a good sized and clean bathroom. The dining room may not be decorated in a modern style, but the service and the food prepared are worthy of 5 stars. And from talking to other guests, the bar menu and food is of a similar standard. A visit to the castle and jail is a must if you've not been before, as is a walk up Dun-Na-Quaich for stunning views. Special mention goes to Karen at reception and Margaret in the dining room for making us feel like we were spending a weekend break with friends. We will definitely be returning.

We were put in the hotel 'cottage' which was an attic room with the paint coming off the wall, dirty carpet, rotten wood in the bathroom and a television which had 4 channels and must have come out of the ark. The experience was not pleasant we were looking to have a nice relaxing time in pleasant surroundings but this was not the case hence the reason we will never be back. If you want basic this hotel will do.

We spent 2 nights at the Argyll Hotel on a promotion from Easy Breaks - very good valueThe Hotel could do with a coat of paint on the outside (not very appealing when you pull up to the hotel) and more upgrading inside.Staff were all very cheerful, pleasant and helpfulRoom fair sized with side view of the hills - lovely soft beds - plenty of very hot water for a bath or shower.The 24" T.V. had only channels 1,2, 3 and 4 plus Sky news and no teletext etcExcellent is the only way to describe the mealsBoth the A La carte, general and and bar menus have a good variety of food which is well cooked and presented.One problem - the portions are huge. I had Haddock with smoked Salmon on top and this would have done for two meals for me at home -same applied to my wife's roast beef. Both served with plenty of fresh vegPuddings - good selection - only come in large sizes as well.As part of our package, which the hotel also do themselves was afree visit to nearby Inveraray Castle - after visiting here you get a 20% discount of Inveraray Jail or Auchindrain townshipGuests should remember when booking there are no lifts and possibly 3 sets of stairs to climb to top floor rooms

We stayed at The Argyll for 1 night in April. This is our third visit over the past few years as Inveraray is one of our favourite towns in Scotland.The hotel in in a great location overlooking Loch Fyne and some of the rooms have a view of the loch.The public bar where meals can be taken in the evening is very nice and decorated in a traditional style. There's a reasonable choice on the menu and the food is pretty good.The breakfast room is large with views of the loch and also decorated in a traditional style. I've always found the breakfast really good here and like the fact that it's self service with only tea/coffee and toast being brought to the table by a waitress.The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay and they're clean but they're showing lots of signs of wear and tear and are long overdue a refurb. The decor is a bit 80s and the paintwork is chipped and scuffed and carpets old. Saying that our double room on a busy Saturday night with breakfast included was only ¿¿60 so I'm willing to overlook the decor as we we're provided with a warm, clean and safe room for the night in a great location so you can't really expect any more at that price.The staff we're friendly and helpful throughout our stay.I'd recomment the Argyll to anyone looking for a good base in the area but suggest The George to anyone looking for a room with a bit of wow factor and uniqueness.
