The view from the breakfast room is stunning. Magnificent view of the Winter gardens and across to the mainland. Staff very kind and helpful.

Would like less of the single use toiletries and maybe just refillable dispensers in the bathroom. The check in process could have been simplified for speed. We had to name every item we wanted for breakfast and the person at check in wasn't exactly the quickest at writing it down!

Great location right in the centre of Rothesay. Comfy and clean room with great views over the gardens and the firth of Clyde. Helpful and friendly staff.

Ian was a fabulous host as well as the service in the restaurant downstairs... as well as the hotel breakfast. Walking distance to everything.

As charming as it is, being an old wooden structure, the hotel has its quirks, such as the persistent squeak of the floorboards, which can be particularly noticeable at night. However, the hosts more than make up for any minor inconveniences with their warm hospitality and eagerness to please. While the exterior could benefit from a fresh coat of paint, the interior is well maintained, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Overall, the Victoria Hotel provides a wonderful base to enjoy the stunning locale, and despite a few niggles, it's a place I'd recommend for its character and exceptional location.

The Victoria Hotel on the Isle of Bute offers a prime location with its breathtaking marina and ocean views, especially from the lounge dining area where you can truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Our room was on the 2nd floor; do note that the hotel does not have a lift, which wasn't a problem for us but might be worth considering for those with mobility issues.

The dining room was a little cold, but it was a wild windy day.

I would have liked more non-cooked options for breakfast e.g. fruit and yoghourt. As others have remarked, the hotel looks a little scruffy from the outside. Inside it is in very good shape, however.

We went to Bute to walk the West Island Way and this hotel is very convenient for that, being 2 minutes walk from the ferry terminal, the bus station (for buses to the start points of different sections of the walk) and a co-op (for food for packed lunches). Our bedroom was very comfortable and clean, with a large bathroom and excellent shower. We had a fantastic view over the bay (see attached photo) and could watch the ferries arriving, impressively lit up at night. Breakfast was fine, well cooked and presented. We also had dinner one night in the hotel; the food was good and reasonably priced and the menu had a wide range of options.

Lovely clean airy room, great sized bathroom. comfy bed. Breakfast choices were great and didn't disappoint, I fully understand taking the order at check in and great idea to put our name on the table, saves a lot of time.

Everything was great. We arrived early and the girl allowed us to leave our luggage till we returned.

The breakfast was first- class! Only thing was that you had to order the day before.

No bar at night having a 16 year old in Scotland means you cant get into any bars at night the hotel bar was always closed. Would have been good to chill out in the bar and have a chat ovet a drink. Also worth noting there are no lifts and stairs are steep

Central very clean and friendly

Location was great, rooms were great, but front not so good, it needs a coat of paint. I actually met a family who on seeing the front from the park, went else where,. Not realising how modern and clean the rooms actually were,.

Walls in our room were damp and crumbling. The bedside lamps were ripped
