The rooms were okay for a one night stay, however they need refurbishment, as they are dated and some things no longer work.
The staff were friendly and served the purpose for us, as it was a last minute booking.
Enjoyed our one night at this hotel . Staff were fantastic . Very pleasant and we felt comfortable to ask if we needed anything . Room was a little cool but had a heater which could be used if needed . Bed was comfortable . Food was lovely .

Good location comfortable stay
We stayed for two nights at this Loch front hotel. Food was good breakfast and evening meal. Close to small town centre with Crinan canal to rear.
Stayed in room 1 for a business trip.
Really nice and helpful staff. It looks like it is slowly being modernised as it is an old building but facilities are good with a great location.
Definitely want to return in future for leisure with my partner.

Enjoyable stay at Grey Gull Hotel
The Grey Gull Hotel is an old building and requires much renovation. However our bedroom was large, clean and we enjoyed our one night stay. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Would certainly return especially at the price it is at present.
Hotel was great and so we stayed an extra night as the area was great just what we were looking for in Scotland
as we were traveling around .
We had a slight issue at first as we were in a party of 4 and
had to get a extra bed in the room but the Staff wee great and when back in the area we would like to stay again
great staff very helpful

Great place for an overnight stay
It is an old hotel which needs a lot of work doing to it. However our bedroom was spacious, had been updated, had everything we needed and was very clean and the B&B price per room was mist reasonable. The breakfasts were very good, and a lovely view of Loch Fyne from the dining room. All the staff we spoke to were very welcoming. Would certainly come back again if looking for accommodation in Ardrishaig.

Could have been friendlier..was cold in whole hotel including our room. Loved the sauna in room. Breakfast was good
Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel is very comfortable. Prices very reasonable. Some basics not provided such as shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. Sauna in room most enjoyable.
Had an overall great stay! Very clean and nice staff. The only thing that’s negative worth mentioning was that it took a very long time to get hot water in the shower and the tub. And after the hot water was running in the tub there was no way to get the cold water running. Except for this, a comfy bed and nice breakfast made this a nice stop along the way.

Overall a great stay with a generous breakfast.
Please note, the 4th bed in a family room is only suitable for a very small child, not a big 11 year old! Thankfully, the hotel wasn't full and they gave us an additional room free of charge.
i dont think it is a 4 star it needs a paint job and new carpets the breakfast was good had a meal first night the wife got the steak pie and it was swimming in gravy way to mutch for size it came in the reception was very good and helpful

Room was clean. Restaurant staff was kind and courteous. However, there was no hot water in the room, and the front desk was unattended. After a long travel day, the expected hot shower was not realized.

The rooms were extremely small and be prepared to carry your luggage up flights of stairs. We could feel all the springs through the bed. You had to sit sideways on the toilet because of how small the washroom was. The view was beautiful however and the staff lovely.
Off/on switch on tv didn't work...receptionist showedushow to bypass this issue.
Off/on switch on towel drying rack didn't work...receptionist was unable to resolve this issue.
Very nice room...very friendly and helpful staff...would stay here again in an instant...
This was a terrible experience shower not working uncomfortable bedding dirty room , public areas dirty a very bad experience no one available to advise about shower reception badly run and they do not answer phone for such a high price its a shame because it has potential only plus is the beautiful location down to bad management
Room was absolutely massive and bed was super comfy. Only downside we had was that the hot water took forever to get to a decent temperature and it wasn’t really all that warm but just had to go for it really so probably take a mark off for that. Other than that though thought the room was perfect.
We had dinner in the restaurant and it was absolutely tremendous 10/10. Actually the second time we’ve ate there and never had any faults with the quality of the food.
One other downside and it’s not really that much of an issue personally but can see it being for others is that the place appeared to be severely short staffed so there was often a long wait for drinks and all that but like I say not really an issue for us and we were happy enough to wait.
Would be more than happy to stay here again.

Clean but Tired
The food was great, as was the location. The hotel is tired, and in need of a refurb. We had the family room. The toilet door did not have a lock, and the latch didnt match up with the door keep plate. So when having a shower, we had to keep the door shut with towels. The shower was poor as well, not very strong, not much pressure. Apart from that, the room was clean and comfortable, and we got good nights sleep. We were in room 17.
