Lovely staff who went above and beyond to make our stay great. We really enjoyed our stay and had an incredible dinner at the restaurant looking over the sea. The hotel was very close to the ferry port and near to local shops so we found it very easy to get around and explore. Would recommend.

Bute Pride

Room 309 was comfy and spacious for what I needed to attend Bute pride . Only negatives despite it been a pride weekend on the Isle of Bute was one of the staff who was in his 60s with glasses gave me an intense stare and look of disapproval during my stay at the Victoria hotel Lager cans as rubbish left in a wardrobe in room 309 and not enough milk and sugar in the room to make a coffee . I’d rate the hotel 6 out of 10 score wise as it was nice but dated in room 309 and I spotted a few damp patches and maintenance issues that needed fixed Staff bar one individual were friendly and welcoming and breakfast was fabulous

Good value if you are fit and healthy!

Lots of stairs and no lift - which wouldn't have been a problem 20 years ago, but anyone like me with impaired mobility should be warned! Room door lock was not secure - could easily be fixed. But amazingly clean, comfortable, and good value in a very convenient location.

A lovely relaxing stay in Rothesay

Really nice visit. The hotel is ideally situated approx 100 metres from the pier at Rothesay and bus stops and directly across from the tourist information centre. The room allocated was on the 3rd floor and was a good size, very comfortable and clean. There was a small TV and tea / coffee making facilities. Breakfast was provided for £10. Although the choice was limited it was satisfactory for me with cereal, full Scottish breakfast, tea / coffee etc. if I was returning to Rothesay / Bute I would definitely consider a return to this hotel. Thank you for a very pleasant and relaxing stay.
