8/10 Very Good

Great location and pleasant
The Glenburn has seen better days. The decor is a bit tired and in need of refurb as as the bathrooms. But. it's clean, tidy, food was good, staff were terrific. So as budget stays go, it's hard to beat. The building itself looks like a 5 star hotel in images but that's not the case internally anymore. Wouldn't take much to transform the place, but i guess the investment vs return just isn't there anymore - which is a shame.

Nostalgic Trip to the Isle of Bute - November 2024
My sister and I had a really lovely stay at the Glenburn Hotel over the weekend and it was fabulous to see it open again after the new owners re-opened it earlier this year. A truly iconic hotel with lots of character, stunning views over the harbour, lots of history, and much to offer. We will be returning to the hotel again in 2025 when further refurbishment works during Dec to February 2025 are finished. All the hotel staff were welcoming and friendly. Special thanks to Michael, Niall and Debbie in the main reception and also to Thomas who looked after us during our stay which was acknowledged and appreciated. Good luck with ongoing renovations which will be appreciated by a future guests staying at the hotel.

Needs updating
Requires updating. Shower Matt had mould, the shower tray had mould, the was a leak in the bathroom window and the sill was rotting. One bedroom window had a crack in it. In the stairwell you could see damage in the walls and ceiling from rain. Couldn’t use the front entrance due to damage. Breakfast was good but expensive. Room was cold even with heating on. Towel rail in bathroom didn’t work. Bedding was clean but carpet had stains on.

Although I enjoyed my stay at the Glenburn and would return again the approach to the building with the main entrance taped off is a bit of an eyesore. Hopefully the repair to the structure of the building commences soon.

Good hotel in a perfect location.
Recently stayed 2 nights here for work purposes. First issue was finding somewhere to park, it is a big hotel with very little on site parking. Check in was very quick & easy & the staff were brilliant & friendly. The room itself was pretty comfy & warm, bathroom seemed a little outdated however. Never ate in the hotel so cant comment on the food. The hotel is in a brilliant location, 5 minute walk from the centre of town & a nice walk due to the nice weather i had.
