Isle of Bute Cheap Vacations

First of all - there’s a £50 holding charge required on check in. This would have been really helpful to have known about prior to arrival. I might have missed it during the booking process but I definitely didn’t know about this until I saw the sign at check in. The hotel is fine. I can’t say I would pay so much to stay here again. The shower in the room was incredibly small. I awoke in the middle of the night to find that the bed had separated and there was a big gap in the mattresses which wasn’t great - I didn’t sleep very well. Breakfast was fine - pretty standard. In the middle of service we spotted a staff member refilling the fresh orange jug with the 1.60 cartoon of juice from the newsagent, which we found quite funny. Receptionist was nice, I didn’t catch her name unfortunately. Did not get such a nice vibe from other staff members. On return from breakfast, a cleaner was sitting on the carpet in the hall on her phone. It felt like she was waiting for us to leave and it was kinda odd that she felt she had to do that right outside our door instead of somewhere comfortable- especially because we still had time before checkout. Reasonable level of cleanliness but maybe needs so minor updating? A hand rail on the wall of the stairs would be helpful. I just expected more for the price paid from a hotel that is so well reviewed.

We have stayed in more than 50 great hotels over the past 5 years. The Arthouse Hotel is going to be one of our most memorable. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel opened in May after extensive renovations. The hotel used to be home to former UK Prime Minster (1905-1908) Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Stepping onto the main elevator feels like you stepping back in time - with all of the modern conveniences. We stayed for three nights. Our room had 20 foot floor to ceiling curtains. Stained glass windows. We were pleasantly surprised by the large (by European Standards) bathtub. The staff were very approachable and quick to respond to our needs. The hotel is centrally located and only a 5-10 minute walk to the Buchanan Bus Station if you are planning on going on any tours. We will definitely try to stay again next time we are in Glasgow. Great value. Money well spent.

Had an amazing overnight stay at Mar Hall for my wife’s 50th birthday. All staff couldn’t be nicer and the place was stunning.

We booked this hotel for a concert a bit off a walk from the station but easier for what we were doing later on . The hotel was spotless staff really friendly . Had everything we needed and all the little touches were great . Would definitely book again

No sleep at all. Noisy all night. Bin Lorrie’s collecting empty bottles etc. Will not stay here again
