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

This hotel must have been a lovely lady in her heyday. The location is superb,the rooms are large, but very dated. People with mobility issues would have difficulty staying here.

Bedroom was spacious and super king bed.Breakfast was really well cooked and staff were excellent. Too many very difficult stairs with no lift. 5 nights and no cleaning done in the bedroom or bathroom,which I would have to ask to have it done.Ended cleaning it myself. Felt it was not value for money at £100,per night room only. Sorry can’t recommend.

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.
