arrochar hotel Review

Pretty old hotel. It needs reform. But it is clean and with ample parking area.
I am forced to go down to a single star. The breakfast is the most crappy that can be given. The stale and sparse food. The limited letter and also do not have part of the products. 30 minutes before finishing the hour of this one, already without yogurt and they do not replace it, a resigned waiter tells us.

Comfy room and free breakfast wifi is very fast inside the hotel

Amazing vistas food was goodstaff were pleasant and helpful although rooms were a bit dated they were clean and tidy

Nice clean room, nice bar, breakfast was lovely. Will defo visit again. Good price too.

Needs a lot of renovation. But, the price is very competitive and the location is superb. The staff are very friendly

I came here with my two friends, the staff were so welcoming right from the start.

We enjoyed sitting at the bar and enjoyed the food.

Later in the evening we sat and enjoyed some entertainment which was great.

We have a lovely room with loch view, which was beautiful. I would say the only negative point was the bathroom could be doing with being painted, other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Noisy,cold no hot water outdated food poor disappointed

Pretty appalling hotel. TV broken, room lights didn t work, shower couldn t run hot water, plug sockets didn t work, breakfast fruit selection was literally a plate of prunes.

Only thing going for it really was the location! View was stunning. Also the entertainer was hilarious! Though in a very Brent manner. Wonderfully cringe. Would t recommend this hotel.

Not bad for the price, location is brilliant if touring some of Argyle and Bute is your focus breakfast isn't the best, and can be busy with the coach parties, best to eat down the road at the village overall a comfortable stay though .

In need of refurbishment Staff friendly and helpful

Nice hotel quite & peaceful, rooms OK but bit dated and single beds are small. Good parking decent bar and bar food or eat in the restaurant which is also good. Lovely breakfast and greeted by the most beautiful womam I've ever seen.

Disappointed room had used paper cup left by previous occupants. Stuffing coming out bottom of the bed.Room looked on to noisy main road unable to change. Horrendous squeaky floorboards awake until 3am by upstairs residents won't be back. 2.5

Lovely hotel. Amazing room, spacious and clean. Staff brilliant and so lovely with our 18 month old.

Pretty nice hotel for the middle of nowhere. Food was decent and the people were nice. No air conditioning, but the great views made up for that.

Food was very good and there was a varied menu. The room was fine and we had a lovely view of the loch.

A lovely hotel good food and clean rooms but you need a car as no amenities with in walking distance

Great views and great prices! Looses a star though as rooms are a little tired and breakfast was a disaster as the lady taking the order didn't speak clear English and brought the wrong food and it them took 40 mins to get put right after speaking with 2 other people! This was however put right eventually and the fella who finally sorted it was very apologetic.

Very old hotel and everything in the room is in a bad shape

To be honest I was dubious about going here reading other reviews. However it was fantastic we were give a loch view room which had been recently painted, had double glazing, other bits and pieces changed and the room looked good. Yes the furniture was not modern but it was good quality. The bed was comfy and the room was warm,( new radiators in room too). The hotel itself looked like it had had a face lift throughout.
The staff were all good and friendly.
I had a lovely dinner from the set menu and was very happy with the food.
Look forward to returning soon.

Warm clean and tidy. Get the rooms with the view of the loch otherwise you are looking out on the cliff face.

A bit dated, but it adds to the charm. Fabulous location on the edge of the loch.

Stunning location and views, super friendly staff and dog friendly hotel. The food was decent but awful beer selection. The rooms are very dated bit cheap and cheerful otherwise.

Value for money, plus a low fee for dogs, service rather working for a but helpful, rooms let's clean, 45 waited for fish n chips (we were alone in the restaurant) but it was good, breakfast included but very low airfare

Beautiful location, hotel a little 'dated, ok clean, great breakfast

Great setting, nice rooms, good food at good prices.

Food was great, staff were friendly. Enjoyed the stay here.

Horrible experience. They say they are handicap accessible, but the flights of stairs leading to the main entrance and from the lifts to the rooms would say otherwise. Terrible food service: they don't list allergen information on their menu and the chef refused to remake a meal for one of our party after he found tomatoes on the burger (which he's allergic to). The rooms were dirty with cobwebs and dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling, and mold in the shower which dripped all night. Definitely won't be coming back here again.

Okay, the price is very cheap and therefore you should not set the expectations too high. Nevertheless, they have managed to undercut them in every area: rooms, equipment, staff, cleanliness, etc.
This cow is only milked until it collapses. If then the tour busses stay away one day, hopefully the lights go out well deserved.

A bit noisy and the floors crack. I think the guests above us have polar bears walking around their room all day. Nevertheless, the service from the hotel was very good. A wide choice of breakfast and the next day prepared a packed lunch because we had to leave before breakfast started!

My cheapskate ex took me here for one night on a wowcher deal for my birthday. Basic hotel but it's in a stunning setting. Definitely worth a visit. If you go maybe you'll see him there with his next victim.

Comfortable rooms, friendly staff and good food means we return a couple of times a year. Not expensive for what you get.

Really nice. Dogs welcome and good price too. Will definitely go back

Excellent hotel - friendly and helpful staff - rooms nice and clean - excellent breakfast - beautiful views over Loch Long

The rooms are large and comfortable with amazing loch views , the food is to die for cooked and served to perfection and the bar is spacious and friendly , will definitely be back very soon , the staff couldn't do enough to help

I can't award this a low enough mark, room was barely adequate, service was poor and the food was inedible!

Never again!

This is a very bad hotel bad food. Food not good and service was also not good.

Spent a night here with my wife. Booked a superior room at the front, great views of the loch. Only black Mark on the room was a damp stain at the window- as I am in the damp and rot business, I think I will leave my card as this will turn out to be a problem. Note to hotel- email me and I will give you a good price!
Good choice for evening meal. Steak was as requested and plenty chips and some salad. Staff were on the ball, could have slowed down a little and given you longer between courses.
Clean room, (See above) linen etc.
Entertainment on the Saturday was a Buddy Holly tribute, few hic- cups at the start with equipment which went full volume and bar staff got such a fright that glasses were dropped, that was entertaining!
In summary, good hotel for a stop of, clean, friendly staff. Would book again.

Good hotel for the price with amazing views and fabulous food. Enjoyed our stay:)

Not bad, included breakfast. Good view and close to Loch Lomond

Stayed here (August 2020)- rooms were clean but a bit tired and dated. Lovely location. Good breakfast.
Staff and guest were compliant with COVID guidelines (good distancing, lots of alcohol gel point, wearing of masks)

Great visit here the whole staff team made us feel very welcome.

While the room I used had a lovely view of the Loch, the lock on the door didnt work. I was only staying one night so it didnt bother me but i wouldnt want to leave my stuff in there if i went out for the day.

Breakfast was lovely, but the staff were hovering around seemingly quite bored. It's not a 5 star resort by any means; you get what you pay for. Despite the quirks, its very well priced if you're stopping for the night passing through, as I was.

This is quite a historic hotel, situated right on the Loch. Plenty of parking and the room I was in was fine, with nice views out over the loch and mountains. The staff were also ok. The hotel is in need of a refurbishment but if/when this is completed it will be a really great place to stay and explore the surroundings.

Nice Hotel right in front of the top of lack Loch. It might not have the most modern interior but its comfortable.

Very shabby reception and bar area. Horrible entertainmemt, no good drinks in the bar, very average food. Staff polite but not really engaging or welcoming.

Nice food pleasant staff comfy bed beautiful views. quiet. peaceful. Just what we needed.

We stayed there for 2 nights over Easter. We had made a booking for 2 adults + 1 child and were given a twin room

+ points:
The staff is very friendly and welcoming at the reception and the restaurant
Prices were reasonable given the time of year and how busy it was
The location is stunning
It seemed quiet enough that we weren't disturbed by the Saturday night entertainment at the bar

- points:
2 single beds to sleep 3 people is cutting it short. Luckily our little one likes to sleep in makeshift beds
The rooms are kinda rickety, the style is very 1970s, the door locks are pretty wobbly and the floor boards quite creaky.

We're likely to go back simply because it is quite convenient overall.

Good location overlooking the loch,a little above your normal tour bus hotel,think some rooms are being updated,very friendly staff

Friendly staff and good food. Fantastic views across Loch Long

Really thin walls (and other guests are noisy). There is nothing to do in the town of arrochar, and the place caters mainly to tour buses. The staff were not helpful (or existant). I would not recommend this place.

Has potential new manager has the right idea dinner was good ....breakfast awful

We got a deal,very basic not full season yet,good location, cheap and quite

Typical Scottish hotel of an acceptable standard. The menu of the restaurant is varied and of quality.

Old and outdated. We had a broken bed and heater. When we raised the issues. They said they will sort it out the next day. We were only there for one night. Thus I did not sleep. The bed was hurting my back and it was so cold because the heater was not working. They didn't even apologized.
I hope things has changed.
Great location. Below average breakfast.

One word of advice people, book directly with the hotel. Big difference between the online rooms.

Nice staff, peaceful atmosphere with stunning views. Shower was unusable during our entire stay. Upgrade long overdue although staff state internal renevations are soon to be invested in and implemented soon.

Excellent location for climbing the cobbler, food was excellent and drink reasonable, room spacious with an excellent view overlooking the loch. Hotel in general looks tired but is fine for a few nights away.

Great deals but double room too small go for twin room

Lovely place lovely rooms. Very clean. Nice people and nice breakfast.

Hands off! The disgust limit is reached very quickly, room, bathroom. Pay special attention to the dishes!
It is easier to sleep on any boardwalk than in the beds, not even for one night.

Rooms not as seen on website. Wensite shows bright clean rooms, beds dressed with green. Room was grubby, brown, windows filthy. Back of bathroom door was badly scratched which looked like dog scratches. Floorboards baldly creaked. Website says free toiletries ? Hand wash on wall only. Television rarely worked due to lack of signal. We were booked as a coach party and were treated like second class. At breakfast, we waited literally one hour for cooked breakfast, which finally arrived cold. We sat and watched "private' guests served immediately. Manager was often unavailable. Once witnessed walking past guests queuing at reception and the bar which were not manned, manager walked past and left the building. The other staff presumably hungarian, provided eccellent service when approached.

beautiful location, ok hotel. the sort of place where high staff turnover probably leads to mediocre standards

We really enjoyed our stay at the Arrochar Hotel. The staff were friendly, the room was very comfortable. All I can complain about is that it was a bit too warm for me

A wonderful relaxing way to wind down and enjoy the local delicacies
